Range Description
Circle S Ranch & Outdoor Shooting Range is a unique shooting facility located just 15 miles west of Petaluma, California, nestled near the scenic Two Rock U.S. Coast Guard Training Center. This privately owned range offers an inviting atmosphere for shooting enthusiasts of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced marksmen. The facility features both a handgun range and a rifle range, providing ample opportunities for shooters to hone their skills in a safe and controlled environment. The outdoor pistol range allows shooting at distances of 25 and 50 yards, while the rifle range accommodates longer shots at 100, 200, and 300 yards, ensuring a diverse shooting experience. One of the standout features of Circle S is its commitment to safety and proper shooting etiquette. All rifle shooting must be conducted from designated benches, with strict prohibitions against sitting or lying on the ground, which helps maintain a safe shooting environment. Additionally, the range enforces a minimum age requirement of 12 years for shooters, ensuring that younger participants are adequately supervised. The facility operates on a cash-only basis, with a day pass priced at $20, making it an affordable option for casual shooters and families looking to spend quality time together. However, it is important to note that there are no firearm rentals available, so visitors must bring their own equipment and ammunition. For those interested in shotgun shooting, Circle S welcomes trap shooting enthusiasts, provided they bring their own thrower and clay birds. The range also sells #7 steel shot, catering to the needs of shotgun shooters. Open to the public from Thursday to Sunday, Circle S Ranch provides a welcoming and friendly environment for all visitors. With its beautiful location, well-maintained facilities, and commitment to safety, Circle S Ranch & Outdoor Shooting Range is a fantastic destination for anyone looking to enjoy a day of shooting in Marin County.
