Do they actually provide the steel targets now or do you have to bring your own? If so, any requirements on how it’s set up? Haven’t been shooting . For . So. Damn. Long...

You bRing your own steel. I believe the target have to be 42 inches high. I have used static angled steel and swinging ones. You have to set them up at 100 yards on the upper pistol range if you are going to shoot rifles .
If I am wrong , someone will likely chime in.

Do they have places to mount the steel? Just debating what steel to buy and if I need a stand or not..thanks in advance.

I shoot at Pala, they have 100's of steel from 100-900 yards... Sure beats the drive to the desert

SBRGC will allow steel on pistol range 2. you can shoot pistol ammo or pistol caliber rifles starting at 25yds. if you are bringing a long pistol caliber rifle, i'd set it up farther out for the higher velocity you're shooting. you can setup the steel at rifle range 3 at 100yds if you want to shoot rifles at it. you can also setup 25yds out for pistol calibers on that range.

there have been times where i've shot steel at pistol range 1. it really depends on the RSO, but these are the official rules on paper. been shooting steel at SBRGC for years since before it was officially allowed.

Could someone familiar with the BLM lands near Valley Center shoot me a PM?

Jimi Jah · #49 08-21-2019, 5:28 PM

SD sheriff maps show that area around Valley Center to be off-limits for target shooting.

Jimi Jah,

You and I must be looking at different areas, or I am misinterpreting something. There is no shooting allowed in the Palomar Mountain area, North of the 76. I am interested in a different area.

Because of the Fire Restrictions there really aren't any outdoor space available for casual plinking, but I would like to scout some areas for next season.

Anxiously waiting for a 2019 update

Jimi Jah · #52 12-01-2019, 10:56 AM

Should be soon, back country is soaked. More rain this week too.

According to the new restrictions issued October 15, we might have to wait until Dec 31. There is a clause that says it may get lifted early, but I’m not going to hold my breath for that, even if the county is underwater

So far we are way above normal rainfall for this time of year. Excuses will need to be creative.

They'll just say the excessive rain has created lots of new growth brush that can be a fire hazard. Just you wait.

Jimi Jah · #58 12-05-2019, 10:03 AM

That happens late in March, like last year. Nothing growing yet but mud.

So how do I look at this map and figure out where I can shoot?

Awesome!

chaoscreature · #63 12-06-2019, 6:24 PM

Wow, that was earlier than expected!

Could someone please PM me if you know of a good spot on BLM land that is accessible, but not in BFE?
I don't own a truck or a 4x4, but I don't mind a good hike. I'm also from North County if that helps.

I am respectful, will pack out more than I pack in and most importantly: won't spill the beans!
