    Ranges with Private Bays?

    Does anyone know of any ranges around Central CA (Sacramento down to Fresno-ish but NOT the bay area) that rent private bays?

    I'm trying to find something similar to Raahauge's.

    Thanks

    Route 66 shooting park does but they're a little too far for you but probably 40 miles closer then Raahauge's
    It takes a lot of balls to play golf the way I do.

      Good to know. I'm pretty close to Raahauge's but wanted to meet some friends closer to Sacramento, but so far I'm only seeing ranges that don't allow drawing, moving & shooting or rapid fire etc... all the fun stuff you can do at Raahauge's (and it sounds like Route 66 too?)

        FWIW, Route 66 allows all of this and more. They RO told me they didn't allow automatic fire either, he told me that as he winked. They also allow you to setup your own steel targets.

        It's a pretty nice place and it looks like they have lots of room to expand.

          Heh, shortly after I moved to kali in the late 80's I was at the Richmond range and I heard some automatic fire. If I had known anything about Richmond at the time I wouldn't have been surprised. But I talked to a guy I knew and he said there's at least 1 Richmond regular that had a legal STEN. Either he had it from when they were legal in kali or he was a mg dealer. There were a lot of mg dealers in kali back then, ironically.

          That's fantastic about that range, btw. I don't know of any in my state that let you rent bays.

            I took a private class at Sacramento Valley; https://www.sacvalley.org/. My instructor (very well known at the range) reserved a private bay.

            Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!

              There ARE private ranges available at Sac Valley, but only for "voting" members of the club.

                If you let them know you have legal MGs and show them proof (LEO or DWP of MG holder), they will allow the use of MGs in the private bays.

                  Let me guess. Joe?
                  It was just an old plywood boat, with a '75 Johnson, with electric choke. A young boy, two hands on the wheel, I can't replace the way it made me feel.
