Hat Creek Rifle and Pistol Club

OFF CA 299 10 MI East

About Us:

The Club leases approximately 200 acres of land from Pacific Gas and Electric Company on the north side of State Highway 299 East between Burney and Fall River Mills for the purpose of operating a rifle and pistol shooting range facility.  The Club has operated at this site since about 1980 and has enjoyed a cordial and constructive relationship with Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) for nearly 25 years.

What started with about a half dozen people looking for a safe place to shoot has evolved into a rifle and pistol club that embraces almost every facet of the rifle and pistol shooting disciplines. There is a year around calendar of events (attached) for members and nonmembers alike that illustrates the popularity of the Range. The Range is open to other clubs who seek an organized, safe and secure place to practice and compete. It is open to youth groups free of charge and is used by local law enforcement agencies.

While most of the Club membership comes from the Intermountain Area1 many club members routinely travel from Redding, Red Bluff, Yreka and Alturas to compete in weekly events. The National Rifle Association (NRA) and California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA) sanctioned shooting contests draw contestants from as far away as Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada and Arizona.
