Chabot Range

[DanvilleRed]

As a new shooter I have been trying different range venues in the East Bay.

I have found Chabot to be very friendly and (I think it's Steve?) the range staff have even given me on the spot "lessons".

After two visits and the input from Steve I am feeling very confident with my new Glock G23.

Just wanted to send out a shout to Chabot.

There are a couple calgunners that shoot at Chabot in their events. Looks like a nice range from what I can see online. Haven't made it up there yet though.

I like Livermore Rod and Gun Club....the guys there have always been very helpful too.

I haven't shot any long guns out at Chabot yet, but I did their basic handgun course there prior to getting my first handgun. Great instruction and good people all around. A rather scenic drive getting up there, too.

Chabot is the only place I like to shoot in the area. We have carbine 3 gun this weekend I believe, and PPC/CCW matches next Sunday.

Chabot is a great place, also Livermore Rod and Gun.....Welcome to the Calguns....and gotta love the G23.....

Chabot is one of the friendliest places around as long as you follow the rules.


I always chat it up with the RMs about black rifles, 1911s, and the works. They are quick to offer helpful advice.

You can shoot your Off list rifle at Chabot and they won't have a heart attack. They've seen so many that it's hard to impress them. I bet they'll be ho-hum if you show up with a FN SCAR.

Speaking of Chabot is their website down right now or is it just me? I was going to look at the calendar of events because I was trying to get to a tactical rifle match, but last I checked they were TBD.

ETA: looks like server is back now

range 8 fills up fast now on Fridays. It used to be I would be the only one there, sometimes, at most, 3 others.

Chabot is the ****. The range is kept up real nice and the staff is great. Keep your hands off the bench during a cease fire or you'll hear about on the load speaker. Some people I have heard ***** about it but I like the way they keep watch of the line. That 200yd is a plus. I guess Metcalf range is the only other around but Chabot is closer to me. I think Metcalf charges by the hour.(not sure)

Seems I am not the only one that likes Chabot. I have tried Livermore and that is good also, but the pistol range is only 25 yds, I like Chabot as it has 7, 15 and 25 yds distances.

I was at Chabot on saturday and was lucky enough to catch an IDPA match, looks great fun and after a little more practise I intend to start competing!

Chabot is one of my favorite ranges in the BA plus don't forget to join for a 1/2 price range fee plus Steve and Curtis are good peeps!

Los Altos rod and gun is a good one too due to their 40 yard tin can range (you're allowed to double tap/rapid fire .22 cal firearms at the tin can range).
They also have a self-operate clay thrower trap range.

For clarity it was a IPSC match not IDPA
