Laguna Seca Rifle & Pistol Range

Always helpful knowledgable staff. Safe, clean, enjoyable place to send a few down range.

Very good shooting range
It’s nice to have something like this in our own backyard
A lot of people have been trying to close that place down
I know I’m thankful for the guys working out there every weekend
Great place to take kids to teach them what our parents taught us about gun safety

I went for the first time a couple weeks ago and it was a great experience. There’re all about safety, which is good thing! Helpful staff. I had a bullet jam and one employee took care of that pretty quick. Very cool place. I just found a new favorite shooting spot

Great place, friendly people, good prices. Purchasing ammo from there is ridiculous though, so don’t. Just bring your own.
Oh, due to it’s geography and location it can get a bit windy if the conditions are right, but that’s one of the risks of an outdoor range. No problem overall.
From Monterey it’s only like 15 minutes away by hwy 68, so it’s perfect for me.

So I went to this place a day ago and was not impressed. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for safety but this place takes the freakin cake. So its 11 buck an hour and 2.50 every 15 minutes after that which is fine if they would actually give you a decent amount of time to shoot. Let me start from the beginning. When I show up the man in the little office asked me if I had been there before and I said no. He says to me «The rules are simple. Do what I say when I say». That was it. Not once did he actually run through the rules with me which are as your would expect for an outside range. When they call a seize fire stand behind the red line. So when I start shooting I get about 7 – 10 minutes in and they call a seize fire. Then I am standing there for about 10 minutes waiting to shoot again all the while realizing this is charging against the time that I have paid to be there. Then I hopped over to the rifle range. Was having a but of a magazine issue and felt rushed because as I was fixing the problem they called a seize fire and I had to step back behind the red line and wait without having shot anything yet. Plus the men in little office with the loud speaker are watching everyone like a freaking hawk which is fine but the second you make a slight move they don’t like, you will hear this over the loudspeaker «NUMBER 26 KEEP YOUR RIFLE ON THE BENCH. DO NOT LIFT IT AGAIN!!!» I mean are you kidding me with this bullshit? all in all I paid for an hour and got about 20 minutes of shooting. Do I think this place is worth it? Not by a long shot (no pun intended) If I were anyone els I would find another place to give my hard earned money to.

I’ve only been to the range a handful of times and it’s probably the best range I’ve been to. On the other hand one of the staff members is a total douche bag. Who might that be you ask? Yup, it’s the big beard yetti that takes his job way too serious. If you still don’t know who I’m talking about you’ve probably seen his super ugly dodge power wagon that he probably master-​bates to every night. Apparently he needs that truck to make up for his small dick complex so I completely understand. I just feel that the range would be better without that muscle bound dick head… That is all

When we booked our campsite at the Laguna Seca campground, we specifically asked about the shooting range. We arrived on 10÷3÷14 and found out that’s it’s been closed for some time while they conduct a safety evaluation. I’m all for safety but the person who we made our reservation with should have said something. Not a happy camper!

Came here a couple times with my cousin shooting on the pistol and rifle side. Like the outdoor environment better than inside, and this place is better than most I’ve been from Sacramento, Bay Area and Vegas. Nice lil spot off of Hwy 68, people are cool, employees aren’t up on you, clean, organized, and not jenky like some other outdoor ranges. Def be back when I go visit my fam in Salas homes!

This is a nice outdoor range… if you are sighting in a scope probably your best option… I like indoor ranges better for handguns due to not having to cease fire at an outdoor range. other than that. great place

Been going there since i was 13, I’m 39 now. Now my 9 year old comes with me and shoots the same .22 i started on. Short drive from Salinas. Excellent range, friendly staff. Just follow the very simple rules and you will have fun. People of all ages go and theres never been a problem. Highly recommend.

This is a nice range. They have a pistol side and a rifle side. You can shoot the steels or targets. They are only open Friday through Monday. Staff has always been friendly. Cease fires every ten minutes. My only gripe was last time I was thirsty, the soda machine was broken and so was the water fountain.

It’s the only shooting range open to the public in the Monterey area. But it’s still reasonably priced & well maintained & organized. They sell targets, earplugs, eye protection & ammo (though really, you’re better off bringing your own on all of the above). I’ve never encountered any problems with staff or even other customers. Quite the contrary, everyone always seems to be friendly & helpful. Targets are placeable at marked & measured distances out to 200 yards. The one downside is that they do not permit the use of any target other than standard paper (no using cans, steel targets, boxes, stuffed animals, books, or other «more interesting» targets).

Best and only place to go shooting in the Monterey Bay. $ 10 your first hour and $ 2 every 15 mins after is kind of pricey but you make due since it’s the only range in town. Rifle side usually gets packed so call to check before you come here. The range on the rifle side goes from 50, 100, 200 and 300 yard gong. In July they will be putting a 500 yard gong which I’m excited for. The pistol side goes form 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 with some steel targets also. The only down side is the the fact they open Friday-​Monday and not all week. Kind of weird but they are open on most holidays that fall on their opening days. The staff is nice and helpful if you need any. Make sure you stay behind the red line when they say so, trust me the range master has no tolerance. Remember to follow all gun safety protocols. The 2^nd Amendment is a privilege and please respect that so we don’t lose any more gun rights.

LOVED SHOOTING HERE!!!
First time for me and the bf at an outdoor range and we’ve been back 4 times!
They dont have all the fancy targets like zombies and shadows they have a literal target attached to a piece of cardboard. I thought it was so sick to be able to go out into the range after the all clear.
You have to put up, take down, re staple your own targets.
ORRRR… You can shoot the metal targets. easy gratification for me! They have duck, pig, goat, circle and square shapes.
Plus they didnt mind us switching lanes mid session to go from cardboard to metal target.
They are super sticklers about safety, but its a good thing when people are going out on the range. I got yelled at over the intercom for putting my empty clip down during the all clear because my hand crossed over the line.
And its awesome to watch people with rifles shoot the targets wayyy the F away up on the hill.
Also this place isnt filled with gangster looking people or gnarly NRA members. And theyres not a shop area to sell /​talk themselves up/​make you look dumb.
It was mostly older men with rifles and a few mid 20’s couples. A good combo I’d say.
Targets are cheaper here here than any other place Ive been, ammo is a few more expensive. 37.50 for a box of 45s.
ALL AGES ARE WELCOME HERE

Good place, nice range, pretty hills. This range goes from 10 yards all the way out to 500. Hell, if you can hit anything out at 500 yards, I have no problem waiting for you during Cease Fire while you and your buddy walk all the way out there and staple up your cute little lamb silhouette. Heck, it’s entertaining for me just to see you hit the damn thing. I’m doing my best to get a .45 in the black at 20 yards. You’ve got the ghost of Allan Quatermain whispering in your ear.
There is always an interesting smattering of people here. Some folks with their customized AR-15’s and others with the latest Picatinny-​rail-​equipped high-​tech-​polymer commando pistols. Folks are always friendly and the line officer is always on task. It’s a safe, well run environment. Fun for the whole family!
Unfortunately, they won’t let me shoot at my old cell phone or that malfunctioning Hewlet Packard Printer. (PC LOAD LETTER… what the heck does that mean???) That’s ok, it’s probably all for the best.
