OC Ranges?

[jonnyogre]

Hey all, I just bought my first shotgun yesterday; Remington 870 Tactical Express. I was wondering where I could shoot it locally? I am in Huntington Beach. I know I can shoot it at Field Time and Target in Stanton, but they only allow lead slugs there. I would like to shoot some bird shot through it to break it in.

On a side note, the model I bought has the ceracoated barrel and receiver. Do I break it in the same as a non-coated model?


Thanks

Insight in Artesia, allows (read: forces you to buy and shoot their) birdshot. Last time I checked, it's $6 for 10 rounds of 7 1/2 shot... 0_o

Just my $.02

It is my understanding that OC does not allow outdoor ranges, so clays aren't going to happen. I'm in HB and just drive to Triple B in El Monte. It takes about 45 minutes on a weekend morning, less if you've got a faster car or live closer to the freeway.

I love insight shooting range in artesia. I've gone there twice this week with my to break in my benelli m4. They only allow you to shoot their birdshot. The cerakote finish shouldn't be affected by break in because none of those parts move. besides the wear resistance is unmatched you'd probably never be able to manually wear it off in a life time of shooting.

Don't forget Prado Olympic Park...very close to Raahauges. Skeet & Trap only I believe.

Funny you should ask. My friends and I are always willing to help a beginner out. Between us we've got a good selection of guns, so if you're in town, or just visiting, drop me a line.

Sporting Clays in the Los Angeles area:

Say what you want about So. Cal. We’ve got restrictive gun laws, we’ve got earthquakes, we’ve got wildfires, we’ve even got “The Sperminator” for our (ex)governor, but we do have 4 Sporting Clays ranges in the Los Angeles area.

Each of them holds their monthly shoot on a different weekend. Each of them has something different to offer, all are fun to shoot, and all are open to the public.

Triple B Clays is located in El Monte off of the 60 near the 605. It’s a 24 station flat course, in a heavily treed setting. They have 12 hunter stations, and 12 tournament stations, all have “A” & “B” shooting position. Most of their stations have three or four machines presenting a good variety of target presentations. Their monthly shoot is on the first Sunday of the month. http://www.triplebclays.com

Raahauge’s is located in Corona off of the 91 between the 71 and the 15. It’s a semi-flat course set in the Prado flood plane. They keep adding new stations and new machines all the time. Their monthly shoot is on the second Sunday of the month. Mike's bark is worse than his bite. http://www.raahauges.com/

Moore-N-Moore is located in San Fernando off of the 210 near the 118. It’s a great course with hills and valleys in the San Gabriel Mtn foothills. They have 12 stations, 10 of them have “A” & “B” shooting positions. They really are “The friendliest range in southern California”. They hold their monthly shoot on the third Saturday of the month. Best fun shoot lunch in LA http://www.moorenmoore.com

Oak Tree is located in Newhall off of the 5 near the 14. They have some of the most spectacular views on a sporting clays course anywhere. http://www.oaktreegunclub.com/ (Call before going)

Prado Olympic Shooting Park is located in Chino off of the 71 near the 91. They offer trap, skeet & 5-stand. http://www.shootprado.com/

All of these places offer public shooting so don’t wait until they hold their monthly shoots. Contact the clubs directly for more information.

If you live in Los Angeles and you can’t find a place to shoot, you’re not looking hard enough.

Here’s a link to my website. I’ve got pictures & reviews of the clubs:
