Plan Your Visit
Annie get your gun... and bring it the the Los Altos Rod and Gun Club Range!
The Range does not rent guns, so bring a gun (unloaded and in a case), and your gun's instruction manual if you are not already very familiar with it.
Target frames are wood with asphalt paper at fixed positions, and are not to be moved by shooters. To mount paper targets to our target frames, we highly recommend also bringing a stapler (or renting one at our office for $2).
Admission costs only $23 per day per adult and only $12 for those age 7 through 17 (with supervising adult). The Range office accepts cash, credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, and Samsung Pay.
Before Your Trip
Before visiting the Range, please read our Range Safety Rules to save time reading them when you arrive, and note the following:
- Each shooter is expected to know and follow safe practices for handling and shooting guns, including our rules. Our rules are no substitute for good training, so please learn basic gun safety procedures from a qualified instructor or knowledgable friend.
- Instructors may coach and/or train students at the Range, but may do so for compensation/pay only with NRA certification, prior approval of the Range Master, and proof of insurance on file. The Range does not charge instructors any additional fees, and encourages instructors to apply for approval.

- Under 21: May not coach handgun shooters; may not shoot handguns without presence of or written permission from parent or legal guardian; may not purchase ammunition for handguns
