Tucked into the rolling hills of Morgan Hill, Coyote Valley Sporting Clays has been welcoming shotgun shooters from across the Bay Area for more than 30 years.
Founded in 1992, Coyote Valley Sporting Clays has one simple vision: build a family-oriented sporting clays facility where both first-time shooters and experienced competitors feel welcome. Over the decades, that vision has grown into one of the most respected sporting clays destinations in Northern California.
Where Bay Area Shooters Escape the City
Just a short drive from Silicon Valley, Coyote Valley Sporting Clays offers something the Bay Area doesn’t always provide, space to breathe.
Set among the hills of Morgan Hill, the range feels worlds away from city life. On any given day, shooters might see deer, coyotes, hawks, or wild turkeys moving through the landscape.
For many visitors, that combination of nature and sport is what keeps them coming back.
A Community That Welcomes New Shooters
What really makes the facility special is the community that has formed there over the last three decades.
Experienced shooters frequently volunteer their time to help newcomers learn the sport. That welcoming atmosphere has made Coyote Valley Sporting Clays one of the best places in the Bay Area to learn shotgun shooting.
It’s a place where beginners quickly feel comfortable and regulars feel at home.
Upgrading the Experience
Even after more than 30 years, the team continues improving the facility. Recent upgrades to the shop and overall visitor experience reflect their goal of creating the premier sporting clays facility in the Bay Area.
Part of that refresh included upgrading their merchandise.
That’s where Authentic Leather Patch Company came in.
Hats That Match the Experience
SHOT Show was the meeting ground between us and Coyote Valley Sporting Clays. They took us up on creating a complimentary patch at our booth, and loved what they saw.
They wanted merchandise that reflected the same quality as the experience they offer. Our custom leather patch hats turned out to be the perfect fit.
They made their first order.
The response from customers was immediate and "the new merchandise has been flying off the shelves."
Advice From 30+ Years in Business
After decades of success, their advice for anyone starting a business is refreshingly simple:
Focus on people. Build a community around your brand.
Treat customers, team members, and partners well, and the rest tends to follow.
What’s Next
Coyote Valley Sporting Clays isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The team plans to continue expanding classes, events, and services for shooting sports enthusiasts throughout the Bay Area.
If you’re looking for a place to learn, practice, or simply enjoy a day outdoors, it’s one of the best sporting clays experiences Northern California has to offer.
