Field Sports Park

Shooting Facilities

Situated in San Jose, California, Field Sports Park is a public recreational facility for shooting enthusiasts. If you're into firearms activities, you'll find a range of options here - and it's worth noting that it's the only publicly owned firing range in all of Santa Clara County.

Range Options

No matter if you're into rifle and pistol shooting or prefer the clay-breaking experience of trap and skeet, this park offers options for all preferences. Safety comes first here, with qualified range masters always on duty keeping a watchful eye without cramping your style.

All year long, you can find league activities and special events that bring together everyone from casual weekend shooters to serious competitors. With multiple lanes at various distances, there's something suitable regardless of whether you're just starting out or have been handling firearms for decades.

Range Specifications

The facility is thoughtfully laid out with different shooting areas for various needs. Head to the rifle range for 50 and 100 yard distances if you're bringing larger caliber rifles. If you're working with .22 caliber rifles, air rifles, or handguns, you'll find shorter ranges perfectly suited to these firearms.

Shotgun enthusiasts aren't left out - the park has dedicated spaces for trap and skeet shooting. Just note that these areas follow different schedules than the pistol and rifle ranges, with competitive shooting often claiming weekday slots.

Safety Protocols

Safety isn't just a priority here - it's the foundation of everything they do. The park maintains strict rules that everyone must follow, including mandatory ear and eye protection and clear guidelines for handling firearms.

There are established protocols for cease-fire periods, and a required three-second interval between shots prevents rapid fire situations. The staff are generally helpful when needed without being intrusive. If you're new to shooting, you'll appreciate how attentive they are to beginners, making sure everyone feels comfortable and secure.

Visitor Information

Timing your visit can make a difference in your experience. The pistol and rifle ranges tend to get busy on weekends, so if you prefer more space and less wait time, try planning a weekday trip. For trap and skeet shooting, the opposite is true - weekends might offer more availability since competitive events often take up these areas during the week.

Field Sports Park offers relatively affordable pricing, making it accessible whether you're an occasional shooter or dedicated enthusiast.
