rosamond shooting range closed

I spoke with the land owner. It was a combination of things that drove the closure.

Shooters using tannerite causing fires, others using road flares duct taped to propane bottles, and his mother's house over the hill being hit three times by rounds fired over the hill.

Then there were a couple of times where gang bangers were spotted driving along the firing line practicing drive-by shootings.

That is Friggin' ridiculous! There are some real knuckleheads out there.

Unfortunately, certain elements of the shooting community continue to TRASH any available shooting area and shoot wildly over hills and such---same end result---area closed!

Just from being on this forum I started cleaning up MORE than I normally do. Now it has crossed over into my boating/fishing life

any ideas on where else to shoot? i've heard of a spot being somewhere off of Tropico road near Gem hill but i don't know the specifics.

this really sucks, is there other places to shoot like this one. I just got all my gear ready luckily I got on here to check, Im in pasadena

just giving an update, I went to this shooting range today and it is close but you can still shoot on the hill to the left, I was talking to some guys on ATVs that live on the other side of the hill and they said we can shoot on the other hill away from the homes. so I did with no problems. it is a smaller area but I still had a great time had a chance to test my new .44 mag

It's the bain of "shooting areas"---boneheads bring and leave vast amounts of trash---stoves, waterheaters, stolen cars, etc. Then start fires with steel bullet ammo---the list goes on...
