Full description and what we offer
Bad Moon Shooting handles firearms training for shooters across Northern California's Sacramento Valley region, including Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba Counties. They operate out of Beale Rod & Gun Club on Beale Air Force Base and also offer courses in Yuba City.
California Senate Bill 2 (effective January 1, 2024) rewrote concealed carry law. Bad Moon's entire training model centers on this: 16 hours minimum for initial CCW certification, 8 hours for renewals. This isn't optional—it's the law now.
If you're getting a California CCW permit in 2024+, you need certified training. Bad Moon has California DOJ-certified instructors ready to sign your paperwork.
