Sacramento Valley Shooting Center

Ranges for public, private and government use

Sacramento Valley Shooting Center is owned and operated by Folsom Shooting Club INC. SVSC is the premier outdoor shooting range on the West Coast and the largest and best privately held range West of the Mississippi. 2012 marks the third consecutive year that we have attained NRA Gold Medal Range status that shows our ongoing commitment to excellent range services and support of our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

Our ranges provide something for everyone. We provide facilities for shotgun, handgun and rifle shooters. Our multi-million dollar 860+ acre facility has well over 400 firing positions and is home to many different sub disciplines. Our ranges are sought out by many world class shooters and we host several regional, national and international events every year.

Sacramento Valley Shooting Center is a world class facility with many private member only ranges. We also permit public access to our 100 and 300 yard rifle ranges, as well as our 50 yard pistol and .22 rim fire steel silhouette range.

Pro Shop On Site

Our main range retail office is generally stocked with common caliber ammunition for your modern firearms. Are you a reloader? We stock smokeless powders, primers, bullets and range brass. Like to keep it clean? We have a good selection of cleaning solvents and lubricants as well as common cleaning gear. We also have an assortment of targets to choose from, or you can bring your own paper targets.

No gun store commandos here, our staff are the friendliest you will find at any range. You can expect to be treated with respect at our facility. Many of our staff members are life long shooters with a wealth of experience to share. We are a family friendly facility, and we encourage women and youth shooters to come out and spend a day with us. Ask around and you will find that the word on the street will back up our claims.

Please note that Sacramento Valley Shooting Center does not rent guns. Be sure to bring your own, or bring a buddy and use hers.

Safe Shooting is great shooting

We take your safety seriously at Sac Valley. Shooting is a very safe sport when practiced correctly. We require that all range employees become NRA certified Range Safety Officers, even our maintenance staff. We want you to take safety seriously too, so we have a few requirements for all shooters. Eye and hearing protection are mandatory for anyone on the range. Please be aware that all firearms on the public range MUST use an empty chamber indicator during cease fire periods. Bring your own or buy one at the office for a nominal fee.

What's the weather like out there?

We're so glad you asked! Our automated weather station updates range weather conditions on the web every few seconds. Everything a shooter needs to know about what's going on RIGHT NOW at the range, any time. Check out the current weather conditions for yourself. Wanna really "geek out?" You can view historical data at our weather hosting site. Find out how hot it really was when you shot your last match or compare your wind reading ability against our infallible wind gizmo.
