There is a trap club in south San Jose. Never been there, but my son said it was good.

 

Try Soledad GC
31500 San Vicente RD, Soledad
Web site:
Soledad Gun Club | Salinas, Ca 93907

 

It'll be a bit of a drive, but there's a Coyote Valley Sporting Clay in Morgan Hill. You can shoot skeet, sporting clay and trap there.

 

I was at the Naval Post Graduate School in 2002 and shot one weekend at Coyote Valley. Very nice Skeet and Sporting Ranges. That is, once you get past freaking over the "Beware of Rattlesnakes" signs!!

Thank you all for your help.
Coyote Valley seems nice but it is 130 mi round trip.
Soledad is a private club and a member must be with you.
I have heard there is a private Carmel Valley Club but can not find any info for it.

 

The drive from Monterey to Coyote can be pretty nice depending on your route -- and it can also take you past the San Juan Bautista mission. Two excellent Mexican restaurants in San Juan too Plus at Coyote you'll likely find it easy have somebody else to shoot with. They have two coin-op skeet fields, both have delay options for self-shooting, but they are outdoors in a hilly area and there is generally some wind.

 

Just go play golf and drink wine!

 

When I was at PG School in the '80's, there was a Carmel Gun Club range about a mile in from hiway 1 on Carmel Valley Road.
Membership in the club was very reasonable. Fond Memories.
That range has been developed and is now all houses, judging from Google maps.
Back then, I found out about the club and range by talking to the independent sporting goods shop owners in Seaside, Pacific Grove and Monterey.
There used to be a gunsmith in Monterey, but he hung up his apron a couple of years ago.
I recall he belonged to a club much further out in Carmel Valley which was very exclusive by all accounts.
