help a guy find a place to shoot

[mrjackfrost]

i am trying to find a place to shoot. I'm in the process of learning pistol and rifle shooting and teaching my wife to shoot. every range we have gone to said we can not draw from holster, rapid shoot. its all been in a line shooting paper.

i live in the bay area

i know national forest is ok, does anyone have any gps coordinates? longitude latitude?

or a privet land where i can give you money and learn how to use what i have?

any help would be appreciated

do a search on "Panoche" and "Tumey Hills". They're far (2 hours away) but probably the closest public land you can get to.

I think Reed's allows you to draw from holster after you've taking some classes from them. Chabot and Richmond might have some options with their classes and shooting events, but not during public shooting hours/ranges.

Nailed it. No one in their right mind will rent their land for newbs to shoot.

I live in a big city, too. The advice I was given was to (1) practice drawing from holster and dry firing at home; (2) "draw" from the bench and live firing at the range; and, when opportunity allows, (3) put both together at an outdoor range that allows it or... start shooting IDPA or USPSA or do clinics/classes.

thank you guys so much
i should have mentioned

the wife and i have both watched the travis haley vids on pistol and rifle

dry fire reload clear jams holster draw and other thing practiced at home extensively. we have been going to target masters to live shoot.

we have got to pine crest to the national forest and found a fire road and shoot steel that i brought with me.

the problem with pine crest is it was hard to fine a place where i thought it was safe to shoot

I'm looking for gps location in the national forest where you guys have shoot and camp

we are planing on taking classes and thank you rabidfuzzl for the recommendation we will be taking these classes

thank you guys for responding so fast
