Livermore Pleasanton Rod & Gun Club has so much to offer for shooting sports enthusiasts. If you haven't checked us out yet, you're missing out! Here's a quick overview of all our ranges!

Pistol

We have 17 standing pistol benches, with target distance options of 7 yards, 10 yards, 50 feet and 25 yards. We can even add a 50 yard base for the sharp shooters among you! If you want a more interactive pistol experience, you can also join our USPSA Action Shooter league to learn practical shooting skills while drawing from the holster.

The pistol range is co-located with the rifle range, and shooters can choose to shoot on both ranges for an additional $5 fee.

Rifle

Long gun enthusiasts will be pleased with our 29 seated rifle benches , with target distances of 25, 50, 75 and 100 yards. All of our benches have rests and spotting scopes so you have a great shooting experience.

Did you know that we have a competitive .22 Rifle League? It meets on alternate Wednesday evenings throughout the year. You can ask the rifle-pistol range cashier for more info.

Trap

The 9 voice activated trap houses are configured for singles by default, but can also be set for doubles and wobbles upon request. We also have a trap league that meets on Thursday evenings for added fun.

LPRG hosts a variety of competitive trap events throughout the year, including our flagship event, the 74th annual Golden West Grand , coming up in May. Contact the trap range cashier for more information about the upcoming events

Olympic Bunker

The Olympic Bunker at LPRG is easily one of the best west of the Rockies (or so we've been told). Challenge yourself with high speed clays thrown from any 1 of the 15 trap throwers in the bunker. Don't miss out on the extra challenge of the Olympic Bunker.

Listen to Trap Talk hosts Zach Nannini and Richard Marshall Jr. as they sit down with Bryan Weeks to talk trap!

Trap enthusiasts won’t want to miss this great discussion between Trap Talk hosts, Zach Nannini and Richard Marshall Jr. as they sit down with Livermore Pleasanton Rod and Gun Club General Manager, Bryan Weeks. For those who don’t know Bryan yet, he’s an avid shooting sports enthusiast and competitor who is the 2025 California State ATA Singles Champion, and a three-time PITA All-Star.

In this episode of Trap Talk, Bryan shares how he got hooked after hitting his first target in 2005, his journey from league shooter to running one of the largest trap facilities in California, and what it really takes to keep a gun club running smooth.

The conversation digs deep into:

74th Annual Golden West Grand (May 6–10) — gold coin belt buckles for every event, shooter appreciation dinner, and why this shoot is a West Coast classic
Multi-State Challenge coming to Livermore (April 17–19) — a new All-American point shoot giving California shooters better access to compete
North Bay & South Bay leagues — how these monthly 150-target competitions shaped some of California's best shooters
California trap shooting legends — Dave Kelly, Bob Graves, Rich Bullard, and the nostalgia of shooting at Livermore, Martinez, and Sunnyvale what makes a sea-level target so tough — and why Zach's 100 straight at Martinez is still a story worth telling

Whether you're planning a trip to California to shoot at Livermore Pleasanton Rod and Gun Club or just want to hear some classic trap talk and war stories, this one's for you.

Don’t forget that we have several big events coming up at LPRG. You can see them all on our events page .

Don't Miss Out on the LPRG Pistol Range

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 01:46:21 GMT

The LPRG Pistol range has everything you need to accelerate your shooting experience!

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between an indoor and outdoor pistol range? Perhaps it's time to come to Livermore Pleasanton Rod and Gun Club to find out!

If you haven't been to LPRG lately, you'll be happily to know that last summer we expanded the pistol line to add additional benches. There are now 17 benches for standing pistol shooting. You can choose to shoot at 7 yard, 10 yard, 50 feet or 25 yard distances. For the sharp shooters among you, we can also offer a 50 yard target upon request. LPRG supplies target and target frames for you, no need to bring your own.

Obviously, the main difference truly is being outdoors, with fresh air and sunlight adding to your shooting experience. Targets are taken downrange during periodic ceasefires, with safety being top of mind during those times. No need to worry about inclement weather, our shooting benches are covered so that you remain dry even if it rains.

Check out the Rifle/Pistol range page for more information and hours of operation. If you are new to LPRG, you should also check out this helpful Range Safety video so that you're prepared for a great range experience.

If you're ready for a more interactive shooting experience, check out this blog on the USPSA Action Shooter program at LPRG.

Just for Fun

I remembered seeing this video but couldn't find it.

Well I just did and thought I'd share it.

Would be fun to see this replicated on the LPRG rifle range sometime (but you need to wear protective eyewear!)

Now there's a challenge for our rifle shooters.

Just be careful to not shoot the wooden frames when practicing.

Be safe and keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot!
