Oroville Shooting Range - Oroville, California

John Ramirez

Great place for a long range .and up close pistol. But sometimes you really get some younger 1 handed long gun shooten yahoos out here that really make it unsafe. If you're shooting guns, then remember we have CHILDREN learning from what they see out here, and we need to be mature and responsible examples so that we can protect future generations with responsible handling of firearms . Respect the gun and respect your fellow neighbors at the shooting range. Safety first!!!!!!!! This is not a video game. This is real lives at stake .keep it safe and fun .?

Friendly people and nice tables. Guys next to me let me use their spotting scope. If you reload, this is a good place to get free casings, there are thousands.
Only complaint is littering, come on folks take your boxes and junk home with you it's not a GD landfill.

I have used this range for many, many years, and I have discovered many advantages and a few disadvantages. I like that I can shoot out past 400 meters, and I like the measured berms. I like the short hand gun range. I like the shot gun range. I like that it's close to me and that it's free. Bring your own drinks. I like how I can collect my brass for reloading. I like the tables, but I'd warn shooters in winter to bring a cushion to sit on, as concrete gets mighty cold. In the mornings the sun is in the shooter's eyes, as the range faces mostly East. I see that as a challenge rather than as a disadvantage. Because it's a free, unsupervised range, we find a few disadvantages. I would avoid leaving one's guns on the table when going down range--lock them in the car. When calling "clear," meaning you'd like people to clear their weapons and place them safely on the table for going down range, make doubly sure that everyone has safely placed weapons on tables before stepping out onto the range proper. Don't wear sandals, as there are rocks and stickers. So: almost no downside and lots of upside. Shooting stuff is fun.

Update 02/2020: I read this review again, and if I wrote it today, it'd all be about the same. My seat cushion is thicker for the winter, is all that changed.

It's Free! You can take your trash and shoot it... and then leave it. Amazing for real Americans. Just make sure to get here early to grab a table. Except for the young guns, everyone seems to know the rules and stay very safe.

Wide open space with 300+ yards to play with. You are only supposed to bring paper or clay pigeon targets, but there is plenty of tannerite and propane bottles being zapped. Some days it looks like a garbage dump, but they scrape it now and then. I've only seen a rent-a-cop out there once, and it's open to the public and no charge to use. As a result, you get some sketchy characters out there. Everybody seems to know the rules, though, and I haven't been shot. Yet. 🙂
