Greetings shooters!

Please take a moment to read through the newly updated range safety policies for the San Leandro Rifle & Pistol Range.

The updated policies include basic firearms safety information that everyone must know and practice while at our Range.

Also, the new policies detail what specific ammunition types are allowed for use at our indoor and outdoor facilities.

Thank you, shoot safe, shoot often, and bring a friend!

Tuesday night is Ladies' Night

posted Feb 10, 2012 4:13 PM by Robert Heron   [ updated Feb 12, 2012 12:45 AM ]

Good news everyone!

Every Tuesday from 5:00 PM until 9:00 PM, the ladies' range fee and rental fee for ear and eye protection will be waived.

We will allow ladies to shoot free if they bring their firearm(s) and supply their own ammunition.

Men are encouraged to accompany the ladies but will be subject to our standard fees.

If law enforcement is scheduled to use the indoor range, all other shooting will be on the outdoor range.

Women Shoot for Free

On Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 from 5:00PM until 9:00PM, the San Leandro Rifle & Pistol Range invites all female firearms enthusiasts to shoot for free.  All you need to provide are the firearms and ammunition, and we sell the latter at the registration desk.
