Oaktree Gunclub New Rules

[I Swan]

Is Oaktree the same FFL that was selling the Armatix Smartgun, which screwed us via microstamping and the roster? If so that's reason enough to not patronize them.

I have no sympathy for anyone that keeps going to Oaktree after that debacle.

I think they also now own the Triple B sporting clays range so I stopped going there too.

i have never felt safe at their rifle range. Between the constant flagging and the short distance, i just stick to Angeles. $8 on Thursdays and you can stay all day!

[smle-man]

Unless you want to shoot the fancy shotgun games, go to A Place to Shoot. $17 all day, any range.

I agree. I was a member from the day it opened until I left CA. Best place to shoot in the L.A. area. I tried Angeles and Burro as well as the place that was accessed through the gravel operation (can't remember it's name since it closed) and stuck with APTS. Great guys there.

The new fees keep out the range rats. Ya' gotta pay to play. Don't like'em, go somewhere else or open your own range.

[One in the pipe]

It's a business. If that's what they can get, more power to them.

I had membership for many years since they were open at night. I was there every Thursday night with my kids shooting at the rifle range. Thursday nights were fun since it was just us and a few other shooters (it's fun shooting and rocking to 70s music at night).

Haven't been shooting since the cost of ammo went through the roof. I'd probably just go to "A place to shoot" and not pay Oak Tree prices.

with the population base in the area, the limited number of venues, hourly rate seems to be the way to go.

my "home" range 5 dogs charges 10 per day, but they are huge as far as the number of specific types of ranges available, plus the home ranges there for club use only

That seems excessive, but I guess everything is relative to your location. I live in Fresno and have a membership to A Visalia gun range and I pay $120 a year for family of 4. The only extra a pay for is for paper targets.

If enough people stop going, Oak Tree will either lower prices or sell off this desirable property to developers. Its unlikely any range can make up revenue with a larger volume.
In fact its probably going the other direction as media, schools and democrats work to make gun ownership a rarity and shooting even more so.


I think the prices are too high, but I am not the one paying the bills either.

[hunterb]

Was an oaktree member until a couple of years ago! Besides the prices there equip is junk half the s**t never works on the skeet and sporting clay fields.

WORST sporting clay field in SoCal!

Ahh the fine print method, that's a way to piss off some customers.

[steelholder]

Most indoor are by the hour. The oak tree membership is the only way to go

It is not that much further from oak tree to the private range.

It's actually much further and the drive after the exit isn't close either. The private road leading to the range is another 2 miles or so,b doesn't really compare. Having said that I prefer that location, if you have a small car it may be very bumpy.

[G-forceJunkie]

I think that was Fish Canyon. Shot a Highpower match there to qualify for my $310 Garand from the DCM, now CMP.

as the place that was accessed through the gravel operation (can't remember it's name since it closed)

Betsy got greedy even before the plandemic. Now she has the other place to pillage as well.

[Medic451]

Well lets be honest, do people here really expect the price to stay the same for 20 years? Eventually they gotta go up like everything else.

I really do not consider staying in business or making a profit greed. Oak Tree is a high end range and has nice facilities.
That said their prices should be posted so no one is surprised when paying the bill.
