Livermore Pleasanton Rod & Gun Club is a club-run outdoor shooting facility at 4000 Dagnino Rd in Livermore, California, on 54 acres. The ranges are open to the general public except during special or membership-only events, and the club also offers yearly memberships with reduced rates.
The Rifle/Pistol complex has two ranges staffed by Range Safety Officers. The standing-only Pistol range has 17 lanes with target stands at 7, 10, 17, 25 and 50 yards, and allows only handgun cartridges (black powder pistols are allowed). The seated-only Rifle range has 29 lanes with target stands at 25, 50 and 100 yards at each station; it accepts rifles, pistol-caliber carbines, magnum loads, black powder rifles, break-action or bolt-action pistols, and shotguns firing slugs only. Time limits are 2 hours on the Pistol range and 2.5 hours on the Rifle range. Only paper bullseye-type targets are permitted. .50 BMG, armor piercing, incendiary and tracer ammunition are not allowed.
The club also has a Trap range with 9 voice-actuated fields lit for night shooting, where doubles and Continental (wobble) trap are usually available, and an Olympic Bunker range with 15 trap machines. Trap and bunker shooting are priced per round, and 12-gauge shells are sold at the trap office. The trap range hosts registered ATA/PITA-style shoots, charity shoots and youth state championships, and runs seasonal leagues for trap, .22 rifle and USPSA action shooting.
Training includes California Hunter Education classes (traditional and home-study follow-up formats) taught by volunteer instructors certified by the state, plus independent approved trainers offering CCW qualification, pistol and rifle, shotgun and trap, and USPSA new-shooter instruction. A clubhouse, outdoor BBQ and recreation area are on site. Range Safety Officers are NRA RSO certified, and many are trained in first aid, CPR and AED. Rental firearms are not available and rifle/pistol ammunition is not sold.
