      <title>Quail Valley Gun Range &amp; Ranch</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>**Housekeeping for this post**:<br />
I will post&nbsp; Google Earth KMZ files at the end of this post.<br />
<br />
Update to the Range Fees- 01/31/18 - This range is temporarily closed. The county has requested additional permitting requirements and are in process of completion.</strong><br />
<br />
So I posted a review and my thoughts on BLM land previously with an overwhelming response. After that review and postings in various groups on Facebook, I received a private message from Kythe, (Ky), from the Quail Valley Gun Range and Ranch, just outside Holister, Ca. He explained that it was a private ranch set up by the ranch owner Jeff for his personal range.&nbsp; Jeff has since decided to open it up to more long range shooters but only if he had qualified people to help, RSO's. Jeff does have a working ranch to run.<br />
That is where Ky and Mike come in. I met Ky and Jeff the day I went out and I might be wrong on Mikes name, so I am sure someone will correct me if that is wrong.<br />
<strong>All distances ranged with a Kilo 2000 and are within 1-2 yds. accurate.</strong><br />
<br />
Image below is the meat of the range.<br />

<br />
1000 &amp; 1100 yd. For the camera nuts, this was shot at 600mm from the bench.<br />

600 , 800 and steel pig<br />
<img alt="" src="http://50.189.84.37/Data/Sites/1/media/QuailValley/GRT_2011.jpg" /><br />
<br />
100, 200, 200 circles, 400 and 600 yd.<br />
<img alt="" src="http://50.189.84.37/Data/Sites/1/media/QuailValley/GRT_2014.jpg" /></p>

<p>So to get access, you need to call a number to set a date and time for availability. Info at the bottom of this post.<br />
Once that is set up you just come out that day and meet at the ranch gate. The road deadends into a big green gate. Someone will meet you to open the gate and you just follow them in to the range.<br />
<br />
Price: $50.00 Half Day / $80.00 Full Day<br />
Rifle and Pistol available.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Range: Steel at 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000 and 1100 yds. At 200 next to the stand are steel circles 4-6 inches. At 800 to the right of the stand, about 25 yds., is a metallic silhouette pig also.<br />
The steel at 100 is about an 8" circle. 200 - 400 is 12x12 "and&nbsp; 600 - 1100 is 24x24.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Bench: The bench is 1 long bench with 4 cut outs for 4 shooters. If prone is your thing, you can set up in front of the benches. Obviously prone is if no one is on the bench. The bench area is covered.<br />
The bench is framed in steel and the top is a composite rubber just like what they use on school running tracks.<br />
<img alt="" src="http://50.189.84.37/Data/Sites/1/media/QuailValley/GRT_2016.jpg" /><br />
<br />
There are not many amenities as this is still a work in progress.<br />
There is a Porta Potty, 2 picnic tables, running water and electricity was just about complete.<br />
<img alt="" src="http://50.189.84.37/Data/Sites/1/media/QuailValley/GRT_2021.jpg" /><br />
<br />
They are also in process of building a cabin, house, next to the range. It is intended to be a rental for overnight stays and also double as a classroom.<br />
As you can see by the image below, it is close to being finished but I have no timeline for completion.<br />
<img alt="" src="http://50.189.84.37/Data/Sites/1/media/QuailValley/GRT_2015.jpg" /><br />
<br />
They have a small pistol area set up to the right of the bench with steel and have target stands for paper.<br />
<img alt="" src="http://50.189.84.37/Data/Sites/1/media/QuailValley/GRT_2025.jpg" /><br />
<br />
This is a range I plan to come to at least once a month, if not more.<br />
Advantage:<br />
It is better than BLM or other public lands because they have things set up and a bench.<br />
If you want to come out for long range and bring pistols and AR type weapons, you can easily make a day of it.<br />
They have no plans to make this a membership range at this time and is not even in Jeff's plans.<br />
Jeff does have a lot of thoughts of what to add or not add but at this time it is just a place to shoot for practice or load development.<br />
