I think it would be great to get together once a week or every 2 weeks.
Anyone want to go on Wednesday after work? If you want to go during the day that works for me too since my work schedule is very flexible. Personally I like the Northridge range better than Burbank, but I'd be up for either one. |

There is a good reason for that . . . but then again getting hit by the jacket of a HP after it hits the hanger buy a novice shooter isnt a big deal i guess . . .

Tell me about the hanger part!! I was at another range here in So Cal and a guy was teaching his wife or girlfriend how to shoot. She ends up hitting the hanger and a fragment of the bullet hits me square in the head right above my glasses.
I walk out of the range and saw his bag with his ammo (winchester hollowpoints). Then when I go to check out, the RO says "hey you know you're bleeding?" Didn't really piss me off, but I know where the ranges are coming from when they say no hollow points. Also a member of Burbank Firing Line. |

I'm a member of the Huntington Beach location. I go there about once a week with my friend.
And I sympathize with you guys about the hangers. Every other time I go there, there's a frat boy from some school shooting a handgun larger than he can handle, blowing away the poor target hanger, leaving at least four targets down range and making everyone else's targets sway. |

THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF GETTING TOGETHER: showing rookies HOW to shoot!
But don't forget folks, we were once newbies too. If a newbie sees a group unified in firearm safety...it'll spread. OP-name the date, time and place. |

Yes, but to show them how to shoot, they should start with a 9mm or a .38, not a .45

I've been to the Firing Line in Huntington once before but I usually shoot at Sharp Shooters in Torrance, they are much more convenient to me.
Anybody know if they also don't dig on .22 hollow? I've got a lot of .22 hollow and would rather not waste the match ammo I have (the only solid .22 I could find local - got it for a FL run that never happened).

Member here as well. I try to get to Burbank once a week, usually opening time on Saturday morning.
I might start tagging along to my wife's night class at CSUN on Thursday nights, if anyone wants to shoot at the Northridge location between 7 and 10pm... |

Not a fan as they threatened to call the cops if I kept talking about off list lowers. (Reseda)

Well I know for a fact that the BURBANK FIRING LINE sells the Monster Man Grips and is friendly to OLL discussions etc. Pay them a visit, they tend to be rather friendly. You must have caught the Reseda person on a bad day.

Reseda? There are only firing lines in Northridge, Burbank, and Huntington Beach. Am I missing something?

The Northridge range is off Reseda Blvd and close to the Reseda/Northridge town limits.

The employees at that range I came in contact with were not only hostile and rude, but something about them is very shady. I would never go back to that place ever again. Not only did the manager give me attitude but was VERY condescending even though I was not breaking any of the rules. The crews at the other 2 ranges are alot more friendlier and will receive my business from now on. |

I am an HB member, and one of my friends really wants to buy an HK USPc 40. So I was wondering if some one could meet at the HB firing line and let my buddy shoot their HK. He is starting the process to go through the Fullerton part-time police academy. Or hey if anyone wants to meet, I love shooting. I just got a Kimber custom II that needs to eat more 45ACP.

I'm a member at the Huntington Beach TFL, though I gotta admit with the beautiful sunny skies... I spent most of the time at the outdoor ranges lately.
HB TFL is my home range though... |

I haven't had any problems at Northridge, although I haven't been to a Firing Line there in about 2.5 years. I did have minor issues at HB before because the door on the left side of the range would sorta blow open a hair when opening up the inner door (or vice versa). They'd give me dirty looks and even say stuff over the loudspeaker, as if I were a newbie when the shots were heard. |

I'll be getting a new 1911 (a SA Mil-Spec with SS finish) on Sunday and will head over there with some friends who'll be shooting for the first time. But yeah, sorry, Sunday.
