Had fun here for awhile until game wardens showed up and confiscated 3 rifles for lame Commiefornia technicalities. Just make sure you are up to date with all the new lame laws in Commiefornia or you lose your guns and have to go to court.

Free public range, no range masters, no employees there at all. Not 24 hrs. Open from dawn til dusk. Bring your own targets, stands, canopies etc. Clean up after yourself.

Questions & Answers

This might be a stupid question. Is this run by any company or is it free?

A L | Jun 26, 2021

A.L. - This is a free public access shooting range. While there is no range master, there is shooting etiquette to be followed. Everyone needs to wait for the shooting to stop at all of the positions before advancing onto the range. Typically someone will raise their arm and yell, "Clear," and keep their arm in the air. Each shooting position will then yell clear and keep their arms in the air. Everyone most wait until all shooters have done this before walking onto the range.

What are the hours will they be open on Christmas

Open all year, sunrise to sundown

Is there shade

Private Citizen | Jun 26, 2021
Evangelist001 | Jun 27, 2021

That is a really good question. There is not any shade, and the shooting postions (concrete tables) are not covered. Some shooters bring an Easy-Up to shade their table. Summers in Oroville typically reach the 100 degree range, so late June, all of July and August can be very hot.

Are air rifles and airsoft allowed? And can you shoot full or empty soda cans or melons what type of targets are allowed and not allowed Or

Grizzly, I don't think there are any restrictions bringing air rifles or airsoft to the range, but there are many areas that may be better suited to airguns. Regarding targets, no glass is allowed. Even though the range is cleaned by the CCC, each shooter is expected to pick up all of the targets they've brought. There is a dumptster on site.

Do I need to bring my own firearm?

Raymond Botello | Jan 22, 2021

Yes and targets and whatever you need to hold the targets

Is there 1000 yd to 1500 yd available here on the range?

hmong tsheej | Jan 22, 2021

It's 600 yards maximum

Are steel targets allowed?

Outdoor Operator | Jan 22, 2021
Tom Everett | Jan 23, 2021

Yes. I bring steel spinners but the ground is too hard to stick the spikes so I made a holder out of a piece of truck frame or wood.

What are the rules? How does target setup/ sieze fire work?

Chris Halo | Jan 22, 2021
StarLite Design Engineer | Jan 23, 2021

To cease fire: Hold up your arm and shout "CLEAR", so users can go look at/ place or replace targets. The "common" rule is that everyone on the range will then hold up their own arm to signify they heard the "CLEAR". This is done until everyone complies. After everyone has done what they needed to do, "CLEAR" will be shouted again and everyone must once again acknowledge the shout before firing can commence.

Can you use steel targets at long range?

Richard Cervantes | Jan 23, 2019
Morgan Green | Jan 24, 2019

Probably ok.

Is this just for guns for are bows allowed as well?

Bonnie Martin | Jan 22, 2021
StarLite Design Engineer | Jan 23, 2021

Bonnie, I have used the range for several years and have never seen a person shoot with a bow. (The problem is, there would have to be a cease fire called every time you wanted to collect your arrows, so it's probably not a good idea.)

James Horton | Jun 26, 2021

Many individuals collect the unwanted brass on a daily basis. Resell and reloading. The shooting range is also cleaned weekly.
