The Rifle & Pistol Range is open to the public during the following hours:

Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Thursday evenings from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM

If it rains too hard, the range can be closed. Our facility is known as one of the best Rifle and Pistol Ranges anywhere. Come and see for yourself!

The shooting fees are $5.00 per person per day for SLOSA members and $10.00 for non-members. Memberships can be purchased per family per year. The daily fee includes a paper target, target stand, and use of all accessories to bench shoot. Paper targets can be set from 7 to 300 yards and there are steel gongs on both rifle and pistol sides.  The rifle steel is out at about 400 years.

Safety is a top priority and safety instruction is available to all visitors. Informal basic firearms coaching can be given to newcomers. Boy Scouts, 4-H and other youth organizations are welcomed. The Range Officer is knowledgeable and can assist you in your shooting questions and needs.

Hearing and eye protection are required and can be purchased or loaned on site. Shooting bench rests, spotting scopes, sand bags, and other accessories are available for no charge. Additional paper targets are available for sale.

Come see and use this great facility. We look forward to welcoming you.

The CCFEF/SLOSA Public Shooting facility is located on the northeast side of scenic Highway 1, approximately 12 miles west of Highway 101 (San Luis Obispo) and four miles east of Morro Bay. The Shooting Range, visible from Highway 1, is across from Hollister Peak, one in a line of unique local mountains.

Driving from San Luis Obispo, pass Camp San Luis (California National Guard base) and Cuesta College. Look for the white wooden fence on the right (NE) and turn onto Gilardi Road. Coming from SLO, you won't be able to see the range until after you have passed the turnoff. Gilardi Road, our driveway, splits immediately to the right and left. Turn left to reach the Public Rifle & Pistol range, the Trap ranges, and the Educational Facility, or right (straight) to reach the Hogue Range, the Black Powder/Muzzleloader range and the Chorro Valley Regulators Town range.  The bridge to the blackpowder/muzzleloader and CVR is currently unusable, click here for the alternative route.
