Correction:

Tri-County Gun Club, Cuyama CA. 1,000 yards plus


The majority of the range including the 800 yard line and the target butts are in San Luis Obispo County. The 900 and 1,000 yard lines are in Ventura County

these are all over the US, but each has a state listed. Great resource.

CA is difficult with BLM requirements, but keep driving east to NV or AZ, and you'll do fine. Just hide your CA license plate, or they'll start shooting at you.

I've been looking for some cheap land here in the desert area in San Diego/Imperial Cnty to set up a range....

It's called a high-speed low-drag magazine. Some Californians want them even more compact or to have them neatly machined to the receiver for better tolerances.

San Diego County:

Pala has steel out to almost 900.

I'm not sure what you mean here.

BLM land is pretty much unrestricted outside of certain no shoot zones near established camp grounds and specific points of interest. BLM land is just about the only place to set up for anything over a 1/4 mile. Speaking specifically about San Diego and imperial counties.

Ojai Valley Gun Club has positions out to 600 yards for target carriers. (ventura county)

[bsumoba]

It is a private range, but Avenal Gun Club near Coalinga has a silhouette range and 600-900 yards steel. Membership is full, but you can get on a wait list.

pictures taken by buddy behind his R700 in 308. He was nailing the 900 yard steel with 175 grainers in windy conditions.

220-550 yard silhouette range (chickens, pigs, turkey, and ram lines)



600, 700, 800, and 900 yard range. There is also a LR shooting program which is 50 shots, with one shot on each target (the targets are the white things you see sprinkled on the hill are numbered and are 1-2 MOA sized steel). Distance is given to you right before you shoot and you have X minutes to fire at the X amount of targets at that station. There are 4 stations. you walk the hilly course. I plan on attending the one in April.

The NCSA Pala range in San Diego county actually has steel out to 887 yards, not 600. Slight angle too.

6˚ but not enough to effect an elevation change much. Thats a 5 yard difference.

you don't start worring about up or down angle till it gets more then 15˚

@ 15˚ 887 would be 856

[jconfus]

We missed this one.

San Luis Obispo Sportsmen's Association
3270 Gilardi Rd, San Luis Obispo, CA 93405

Steel Targets from 200 to to 1450. You can also post paper target at 100 to sight in. Just need RO to call cease fire. Otherwise shoot non stop.

There is also obstacles and a used van if you are into PRS style.

Some Targets for .22 too.

9am to 1 on somedays. I was told they also open on Sundays in the fourth Sunday of each month. So don't believe what Google map is saying. Call if not sure.
