1st time at OC Sheriff Range

[ask80]

Had good experience and good time. $7 for 2 hours is pretty cheap. everyone was friendly and nice. one guy did check my gun to make sure it was functioning. but nothing to in-depth. probably took a minute. i also like the range (semi indoor and semi outdoor). i also like the target control. First time I've seen an electronic control. I hate ranges that have the string cuz the target moves around. but ocsd doesn't have it. there's also free targets, which is cool. however, only 5 rnds per mag and you have to pick up your own brass.. there's a lot of trustees there too . lol don't bring anything over a $10 bill...

i've only been to OC indoor range and american shooting center.

anyone else been there too?

They only let you load 5 rounds per mag? That's just plain dumb!

[Greg-Dawg]

Are there other ranges that allow non LEOs to shoot?

[pnkssbtz]

If you are an LEO you can load more than 10 per mag...

I don't go there.

Try going to Insight Shooting Range off of pioneer and the 91. $14 for all day I believe.

[ask80]

well OCSD is open to the public. they say 5 rnds but they don't check. it's just a cheap price and nice range.
i'd go insight but they don't allow holsters

+1 I like it there a lot. Very good people.

I would never go to a place that wouldn't let me put more than 5 rounds per mag just because of principal.

I mean what do they hope to prevent?

[Maddog5150]

for structured shooting do you really need more than five rounds a mag? Less your Joker, Big Dawg, Spider, or Cheuy blasting off as fast as you can then it shouldnt really be a big deal
When I go to an indoor (which is rare) I sometimes put three to five rounds per mag and go back to basics and fundementals since thats all I really believe an indoor range is really good for anyways.

Try On-Target, exit Avery off The I5.

It's a nice range, well managed, with no dirtbags.

Interesting range with good prices but not being able to bring shotguns or pistol calibered rifles keeps me away sometimes. Also the 5 rd thing bugs me as well as having my guns inspected.

They just usually want to look at semi autos because they have been like 1-2 cases there, one involving a death, where sheriffs employees have had AD's. Don't want defective guns doubling.

I posted extensively about this range on the old calguns.

I also have been to this range and love it just because you dont get the gang bangers or noobs going there....I think they are intimidated...Yeah the 5 rnd rule sucks but if you can only shoot 1 round a second who cares...
