Place to shoot at my own steel?

[QuinnBayArea]

I bought a nice AR500 speed rack I want to shoot, where is a range that will allow me to setup my own steel? BAY AREA if that wasnt apparent.

some outdoor ranges have "bays" you can rent and set up whatever you want. not sure about the rules

When you ask "where can I...", you might want to include your own general location so you get better answers. Don't criticize others because you dropped the ball.

He's going to say what bay next... Monterey, Santa Monica.
I thought my 1.5hr 1 way drives were far.

And I bet his name is not Quinn...

I never had issues shooting steel on BLM or NF.

So San Diego, LA or San Francisco area?
Those are all bay areas.

I live South Bay of Los Angeles. OP- we definitely tease everyone on the forum

We tease everyone- so here is my attempt at help answering the question


Up north, I have not been to this range in decades

They have a tin can range where you could set up non glass containers to shoot

They had a water source so you could fill milk jugs and aluminum cans to shoot

That was a long time ago


If this is in your area- call them and see if you can set up steel.

Steel is an absolute liability for ranges
Sparks/ fires
Ricocheted rounds
