Jackson Arms is located a few miles from you near SF airport. It's an
indoor range with 9 pistol and 3 rifle bays. Max distance for both is 25
years. Their beginners instruction package has both class and range
time. I think the cost is around $50. Their website URL is:
www.jacksonarms.com

Check out Reeds indoor range in Santa Clara. Good staff, good range.
They have a store that sells anything you need. I have fired anything
from .22 to .357 revolver and rifle.
They have a big variety of rental pistols if you want to try something
different.

Yup.
Johan,
What type of rifles are you planning to shoot?

Others have mentioned Chabot ( http://www.chabotgunclub.com/ ) and
possibly Richmond Gun Club ( www.richmondrodandgun.com ), both of which
have similar programs.

.22s. I figure the right place to start is with something easy to
control, which to me says rifle rather than pistol, and small-bore
rather than large-.

25 yards, with rifles? Isn't that a bit short?

Sure is... I would say that it is good for someone who wants to
chron/test a load and does not want to drive a long distance for a
quick test.

Yes, but it's better than nothing. The rifle lanes are really only good
for function checking mags, etc.
It's a new range, just opened 3 months ago. Forgot to mention that you
can shoot rifle calibers up to 30-06. Pretty loud in the 3 lane rifle
bay.

You might want to contact the Pacific Rod and Gun Club. They have
a indoor .22LR rifle range open to Juniors and Members. While it
is a bit of a stretch to join a mostly shotgun club just to use a
side benifit, the range is free from high-power muzzle blast
distractions. The guy who used to run the .22LR range on Thursdays
was top-notch. Too bad he passed away. Not sure about who runs it
now.
Another place to look is Coyote Point, which also has a .22LR rifle
range which is away from the high-power centerfire shooters. They
have clubs that use the range who offer instruction.
/herb
Off topic a bit, but I can recall driving up to Wolfback Ridge Road on
Waldo Grade, just above Sausalito (!!!) to shoot out in the open back in
the mid-60's.
Time change, huh?
If somebody wants a real rifle range, I recall that there is
a 1000 yard range about 25 miles southeast of Sacramento.
Its a ways to go, but depending on where one lives in the
"bay area" it wouldn't be too bad for weekend recreation.

Yeah, it's closer to Ione. It's a pretty good range, and has trap, skeet,
silhouette, handgun, rimfire, and up to 1000 yard centerfire ranges. The 100
yard, and 300 yard ranges are side by side, which makes sighting your
hunting rifle real handy. They keep a real tight reign on assholes too.
There is little, if any funny business occuring. Nice grounds, flush
toilets, snacks, shooting store, knowledgeable people. 100.00 a year
membership, and that cuts your shooting session down to about free per
visit, including family.
The average commerciall indoor range will not accomodate squat,
kneeling, sitting, or prone but almost everyone's offhand and standing
position can use a little work, and 25 yards is plenty far enough to
measure improvement.
The only problem is that it does not give someone the
opportunity to learn how to work with windage, mirage,
bullet drop, or practicing with a more "powerful" caliber
rifle... and as you noted, the different shooting positions.
