To All Patrons of the Range:
The range is tentatively scheduled to re-open for public use on April 2nd. Upon reopening, only centerfire and rimfire rifles will be permitted on the range. The Sheriff’s Office and Range Safety Officers are evaluating ways to resume pistol marksmanship in the following months, but no final decisions have been made.
CPRPC is also working on a schedule to resume classes and competitive matches in the near-term. As always, public and instructional use are secondary to law enforcement training needs, and hours of operation may be impacted from time to time. In the past the Sheriff’s Office staff have made every effort to accomodate public access and to schedule around posted public hours. This will continue to be the case going forward, but we cannot expect to avoid all scheduling conflicts.
Once the range opens, patrons will generally follow the same operational and safety procedures, but please do expect some changes. All reasonable efforts will be made to share this information and additional news on this website and social media. Both the Sheriff’s Office and the Club appreciate the patience shown while this much-needed building project came to pass.
For questions, please email [email protected] or contact the Sheriff’s Office directly.
The Coyote Point Rifle Range, located in San Francisco Bay Area, within the boundaries of the Coyote Point Recreation Area in San Mateo, CA, is the home of the Coyote Point Rifle and Pistol Club, Inc., a California non-profit, public benefit corporation.

Pistol and Rifle Matches at the Coyote Point Range
Matches are fun, there’s nothing to lose (except for a little piece of pride), and a lot to win in terms of friendship, camaraderie, and a good time at one of the most exciting sports there are.
Paper targets are craving for new holes, and the “X” rings are challenging us. Get ready, and come over!
Points are awarded to the first three winners of every match, provided there are at least five shooters competing. So, the more you win, the less you pay to participate in the next match.

One week of California crazy
Noted American scofflaw Libby Schaff, the mayor of Oakland, will probably escape prosecution for deliberately impeding federal authorities’ efforts to apprehend and deport violent criminal illegals, as she insists, ludicrously, that she is a law-abiding citizen despite functioning over the last couple weeks as a cop look-out for MS-13.
The sclerotic left/liberal Dianne Feinstein is rejected by her Bolshevik state party regulars as insufficiently lunatic. A crowd of the truly nuts eagerly awaits November.
At the same time, California Bolshevik chin-drooler Nancy Pelosi struggles during several public appearances to disguise creeping dementia, but her efforts are repeatedly defeated by unwisely trying to form comprehensible sentences.
Human excrement, used needles and other benign detritus of drug addicts, insane people and the volitionally derelict continue to accumulate in the public spaces of Oakland and San Francisco frequented by ordinary citizens.
But my long-standing and sensible proposal to move the entire human source of such garbage to the parks of left/liberal Pacific Heights and Piedmont continues, inexplicably, to be ignored.
A bloated army of UC Berkeley bureaucrats brags that a mere 3,463 of its undergraduates, approximately 12% of the 29,311 total, are of foreign origin, drawn overwhelmingly from the wealthy elites of China, India and South Korea, thereby depriving a mere 3,463 highly qualified California high school graduates of places at the prestigious Berkeley campus.
The parents of these brilliant but unfortunate California high school graduates remain strangely silent in the face of this violation of California law, there being apparently no limit to their willingness to pay higher college tuition or to send their young geniuses to inferior colleges, all for the sake of generating sufficient funds to support the material expectations of a UC Berkeley bureaucracy of breathtaking enormity and greed.
And for the moment, that’s all there is from the California open ward.

It could happen!
California is No Place for the Middle Class
Easy money translated into a utopian view of living. Higher taxes were a small price to pay for the psychological reassurance that a millionaire was still liberal.
Professions of abstract progressive piety make guilt-free grasping materialism possible. I suppose if you make $800,000, having your legislature outlaw dogs chasing bears and bobcats instead of building a reservoir makes you feel as if you make $80,000.
California is no place for the middle class. It lacks the tastes of the new wealthy and the romance of the distant poor, and clings to the pretensions that families of five and six should enjoy good schools, still be able to buy a house, and pop into the SUV on Sunday for an easy drive to the beach or mountains.
I drove home from Stanford after walking down University Avenue, ground zero of the Stanford-Silicon nexus. A strange, wheeled contraption with a screen followed me down the sidewalk, asking me questions with the image of its human operator in a store nearby.
Five hours and 170 miles later, I pulled into the old farmhouse, mostly unchanged since 1880—but first passing the compound of my neighbor and his cobbled together corral of sheep, goats, chickens, and geese, three broken trailer apartments, a Winnebago on blocks duplex, and a half-dozen wrecked cars amid a flock of unleashed pit bulls.
The swat team swarmed another neighbor’s “enterprises” last week, but that is another story altogether.
In California, the postmodern and the premodern are but a few miles apart.
