Please watch where the barrel of the gun is aimed at all times even when you're not holding it. I'm nervous of noobs at the range lacking muzzle control.

I'm sure it's too far but, I'm a member of Livermore-Pleasanton Rod and Gun club and their range is out door and is super nice. The Pisol targets are at 24 yards and the rifle at 100, and both can be shot from the same bench/stall. They also have a trap field. There is also United Sportsman in Pitt/Concord but I'm not of a nig fan of that place.

if you need to rent, most places wont rent to people who go by themselves.
just last week, in TARGETMASTERS, someone commited suicide.
the thinking is that if you are with other people (in your party) you are less likely to off yourself...
or if you are renting, bring other firearms with you. again, the thinking is, why rent if you are gonna take the ***** way out....
sad... but that's what it comes to, these days....

I went there that night and the cops told me to go away and wouldn't give me any details... So it was a suicide...
