San Leandro Rifle & Pistol Range, at 3001 Davis Street in San Leandro, California, has been open to the public since 1957. It is an indoor/outdoor facility owned and operated by the Optimist Club of San Leandro, which has been an NRA member since 1948 and whose range staff are NRA-certified. Income from the range supports the Club's community service projects. It is open to the public and to law enforcement agencies.
The facility has an indoor pistol range plus two outdoor ranges. The indoor range allows non-magnum pistol calibers up to .45 ACP and .22 Magnum; rifles are not permitted indoors except for the Junior Optimist Rifle Club. The 50-yard outdoor range allows handguns up to .454 Casull (soft point lead only), pistol-caliber rifles, .22 LR and .17 HMR rifles, black powder revolvers and rifles, and slug-only shotguns with a full shoulder stock. The 100-yard outdoor range accepts standard hunting and target rifle calibers under .50, rimfire rifles, scoped revolvers and pistols of .44 caliber and above, and black powder rifles; FMJ, incendiary and steel-core ammunition are not allowed there.
General admission is $30 per shooter with no hourly time limit during regular business hours. The range does not rent firearms, so shooters must bring their own, cased, along with a valid photo ID and eye and ear protection. The range does not offer security guard classes. Private classrooms can be rented for instruction, but those classes are arranged through independent instructors rather than the range.
The range runs a Saturday Night Steel Shoot on the 100-yard range and reserves the indoor range every Wednesday from 5:00 pm to closing for its Junior Rifle Club. Law enforcement and other groups use the ranges on some weekdays for practice and qualification, so calling ahead or checking the range calendar is recommended. The range also publishes a Visa Waiver Program policy covering which non-US citizens may shoot there. Directions: from I-880 take the Davis Street West off-ramp and continue west until the cul-de-sac; the entrance is the center driveway next to the Davis Street Waste Management facility.
Per the range's hours page, Monday through Saturday the outdoor ranges are open 9:00 am to 8:45 pm and Sunday 9:00 am to 4:45 pm. The indoor range is open 9:00 am to 8:45 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 9:00 am to 4:45 pm Sunday, and on Wednesday until 5:00 pm, after which it is reserved for the Junior Rifle Club.
