I don't have any photos but found one on the Corps of Engineers Facebook page and a Youtube video a guy posted from a very foggy day so you can't see much. I've been there a few times and there are reactive targets you can shoot from about 20 yards out to about 60 yards. I taped up some splattershot targets for sighting in - just remember to take your used targets back with you. Some A-holes took a shotgun and damaged some of the reactive targets. >:( Also, there are plenty of Ticks in that area so check yourselves and your Dog(s) afterwards if you bring one.

Wayne - I live in Windsor and would be happy to accompany you - if you want to go sometime, shoot me a message.

Thanks for the offer and pic and video. It looks like it's on a ridge top. What kind of hike is it to get there ?
Is there an established trail to get to it?

Fellas,

There's a couple of us that get together and shoot here in Petaluma. I have access to private land with unlimited range and it's always fun to get together with other airgunners. If you're interested send me a pm with your email addresses and I'll keep you in the loop.

We usually bring a lot of different guns from .458 to .177 and shoot anywhere from up close to 400-500 yards and all areas in between. I have a portable hanging steel plates for all ranges.

Here's a pic on a day when we were doing 200 to 300 yard stuff with the Texans. You can see hanging plates way off the distance if you zoom in.
