Sunnyvale Rod & Gun Club has served shooters since 1959 from a foothill site at 11998 Stevens Canyon Road in Cupertino, California, opposite the Stevens Creek Reservoir and about 15 miles west of downtown San Jose. It is a non-profit, member-run club that opens its facilities to both public shooters and members, and welcomes shooters of all experience levels.
The club has three venues. The Rifle/Pistol Range offers steel and paper targets at distances from 25 to 100 yards, with ten .22 rimfire rifle lanes, ten centerfire rifle lanes and eight pistol lanes. There are five Trap Fields with singles, doubles and handicap trap on voice-activated traps, plus a 5-Stand shotgun field. Club disciplines listed on the site include Action Pistol, Evening Action Shooting, Bullseye Pistol, Cowboy, NRL22, Benchrest and Silhouette.
Public hours are Tuesdays and Saturdays. The Rifle/Pistol Range is open Tuesdays 10am to 9pm and Saturdays 9am to 3pm; the Trap Fields are open Tuesdays 5pm to 9pm and Saturdays 9am to 3pm; 5-Stand is open Saturdays 9am to 3pm. The club has no rental firearms, so all shooters bring their own. Ammunition is sold on site (credit card only). A Monday Night Trap League is open to members and the public.
The club runs a Youth Rifle Program on the first and third Sundays of the month, with a quarterly fee of $50 per youth. Members shoot at a discount and receive use of the facilities at other hours, and the ability to join group buys of firearms and ammunition, in exchange for working periodically at the club and helping maintain the facilities. The club also hosts registered ATA trap shoots and a 5-Stand Lewis tournament.
