Steel targets at shooting ranges

[Gun_Runner]

Does anybody know of any ranges in Southern California that allow me to shoot at steel targets?

I have some steel knockdown targets that I would love to bring out again for pistol shooting, but nobody allows them anymore. I have even asked if I could bring 100% aluminum targets that have no risk of sparking, and they say no, absolutely no metal targets. They won't even allow them on their private ranges.

I have asked multiple different ranges what the reason behind the no metal rule is, and none of them can ever answer my question. A couple just got mad at me and hung up the phone.

I used to shoot steel knock downs at Burro Canyon all the time, and I even see them sitting there still, every time I go. I just don't get what the reasoning behind this is.

There is nothing more fun than racing a friend on steel targets, and I would love to do that again soon.

Oak tree gun club has a steel pistol and rifle range, rifle is out to about 100 yards.

Angeles shooting range

Angeles shooting range

Angeles is cool, but I think it is hit and miss sometimes. One time I brought a couple steel knock down "mini man" targets, and they wouldn't let me use them.

You also get stuck using the shooting line, which is always packed to the gills. I wish they had private ranges

I used to shoot steel at Desert Marksmen.

Raahauges lets you shoot steel in their back bays. Also Lytle Creek let's you put steel out at 100 yards.

You can always go here. They already have steel set up every 100 yards out to 887 yards. Enjoy. http://www.ncsapala.com/

burro will allow you to shoot steel, as long as you can prove you carry the needed fire insurance that if a fire breaks out, you can pay for the fire response to put it out. i believe it is usually in the million dollars and above coverage since those air drop helicopters or planes aren't cheap.

Raahauges. You get a personal bay to yourself.

I shoot at steel with pistol and rifle at both the West End Gun Club and Desert Marksmen range facilities.

Both membership required, though. WEGC is waitlisted for full membership, but Desert Marksmen is still taking in members as far as I know.

Angeles is filled with steel targets for pistols (you cannot place your own)
and has steel targets at 100 yards and farther for rifles. (I have seen people place their own at closer distances for .22lr rifles they were sighting in).

The only time they had an issue with people placing their own targets down range is if people placed their targets too close to the wood target bases. They don't want their bases destroyed.

Rainbow range allows steel targets. Pala has pre-set steel targets (rumor has it that Pala range might be expanding to allow more public access).

Raahauges is very choosy about where you can use steel. Last time i was there i was on a back bay and got a firm no to steel

Lytle creek allows you to put steel out and has a few small steel targets at 100 and 200 yards

There are a few choices if you want to just shoot steel ringers, but I am looking for a place that will allow me to setup a race tree, or some knock down targets.
