    If you don't mind driving for about an hour there is a really nice place in oroville near the airport.

      I figure there might be some good spots near Auburn since thats where its starts getting hilly I figure theres bound to be some there. But i'm not sure.

        i don't quite get it, it would cost you more to drive the hour than pay the $5 to shoot at Sac Valley...am i missing something?

            If you're not a member... it's $10. For the whole day. Best deal around here for having to pay to shoot... IMHO.

              Welcome to CalGuns George!

              Lots of folks have favorite secret shooting places on BLM land but are reluctant to share them publicly. In years past idiot shooters have brought trash to shoot up and made big ugly messes out of very nice places and never clean up or haul out their shot up trash. So you pretty much have to do the research, get maps and drive around for a few days to find your own favorite spots. Look online for the local BLM offices and get some good BLM maps.

              Good Luck

                Not free but it's nice. Lincoln Rifle Range (right off 65 just north of town).

                $10 range fee plus $1 for each rifle you bring on the range at once. Covered benches with carpet, sandbags, porta potty, good people.

                50,100, 200 yd ranges
