Mike Raahauge Shooting Enterprises, known as Raahauge's, is a public outdoor shotgun, pistol and rifle range at 14995 River Road in Eastvale, California, in the Prado Basin on about 1,200 acres. The Raahauge family moved its pheasant and target operation to the Corona-Norco area and signed a lease with the Orange County Water District in 1971. The range says it has the longest continuously running sporting clays range in the country and has been in business for over 30 years as a shotgun range.
The shotgun side has a 25-station sporting clays course. Ten stations suit warm-up and training, and the other 15 have more challenging target flights. Targets are thrown in pairs, and single targets can also be shot. The sporting clays range allows only 7-1/2, 8 or 9 lead shot in 2-3/4" shells. Steel shot, buckshot, magnum loads and 3-1/2" shells are not allowed. Shotguns need a barrel of at least 26 inches and a buttstock, and pistol-grip shotguns are not allowed on the course. Those guns can be shot in the pistol and rifle bays.
The pistol and rifle area has 15 private dirt-and-wood bays that give a group at least 2 hours of range time. Pistols, rifles and shotguns can all be shot in them. There is also a 100-yard rifle bay with 8 bench seats and ADA-accessible access. It is shared, not private, and rifles must be zeroed beforehand. The Steel Shooting Gallery is a recreated old-time gallery for pistols, rifles up to .223/5.56 and bird or buckshot shotguns. Brass-cased ammunition is required there, and instructors are on site to help newer shooters. Only California-legal firearms are allowed. The range sells ammunition and paper targets, and shooters may bring their own ammunition.
Education and events include California Traditional Hunter Safety Courses on scheduled Saturdays, private shotgun lessons with recommended instructors, and courses from Firearms Training Associates, which is located on the range. Fun Shoots, a Youth Outdoor Adventure Day, youth shooting and education on the sporting clays course, and an annual Hands-On Shooting Sports Fair are part of the calendar. The range also hosts waterfowl hunting, dog training grounds, and private events such as corporate parties, bachelor/bachelorette gatherings and birthdays, with a covered patio and barbecue area. A weekday pistol/rifle membership is available.
Raahauge's serves local and visiting shooters at every level, from first-timers who want to try the gallery to sporting clays regulars and hunters taking their required safety course. Staff explain gun handling to new shooters. Everything is first-come, first-served, and every person on the property must complete the online waiver.
