Club Info
Our 42 target range is located in Briones Regional Park, approximately 20 miles East of San Francisco, California between the towns of Orinda and Martinez. Our club shoots are held on the 2nd Sunday of each month. We shoot the standard NFAA Field, Hunter and Animal rounds. Our work parties are held on the Saturday before our club shoot. Our general membership meetings are held the Wednesday prior to the 2nd Sunday.
Our annual Briones Big Game Open tournament is well attended by archers from throughout the state. This event features 28 paper animal targets placed at marked distances in realistic wooded settings. In addition we also host two other events, our Bear Creek Unmarked which features 32 3-D animals and our Monday Night 3-D League which runs from April thru August and features 16 3-D targets placed at unmarked distances in realistic conditions over challenging terrain.
Location
Our range is located in Briones Regional Park off of Bear Creek Road. From San Francisco/Oakland, take Rte 24 East toward Walnut Creek and get off at the Orinda exit. At the Bear Creek park entrance, drive straight ahead past the ranger's kiosk up to the road gate. If you are walking in, park in the lot to the right of the gate.From the road gate, follow the paved section to the fork in the road and take the right fork downhill (Seaborg Trail). Follow this road thru a 2nd gate to another fork. Take the left road straight ahead (Crescent Ridge Trail) to the range.
Note: There is no water on the range, so plan accordingly. (During regularly-scheduled shoots the club has drinks available). There are no range fees, as we are a public range within the park. There is, however a $3.00 parking fee charged by the park on weekends.
