United Sportsmen in Concord has a sporting clays field, not sure if you would consider that bay area though.

susuin bay has sporting clays

**washnak** · 12-08-2009, 4:28 PM

sporting clays in the Bay Area

What USI offers is Five Stand, not a Sporting Clays course. You might want to try Birds Landing, they offer an excellent course. Birds is located in Birds Landing, Ca. (naturally) which is near Rio Vista, Ca.

For those that have never done Sporting Clays, is this easy to pick up? How much would one usually spend for one round? I've done a bunch of Trap, have yet to learn Skeet, and is there a recommended shotgun to use or should any long barreled pump/semi do?

Sporting Clays costs about $30 a round...not counting your ammo

I can't remember the name of the place but the clays range is premium.

It's a few miles south of San Jose. Someone will know the name...

If I remember right, the County Field Sports range (Metcalf) only has "Trap" shooting.

The only sporting clays range near south San Jose is Coyote Valley Sporting clays

Like USI in Concord the closest they come is 5 stand and not actual sporting clays though.

Los Altos Rod & Gun

Los Altos Rod and Gun is a great range, but it only has manual and electric TRAP ranges, no sporting clays course.
