    You guys had fun - What's with the no invite to everyone else? Or this was a couple shoot.

      It was such a last minute thing. I was dying to shoot, so it was either the ranges or BLM... we chose the latter that day. Next time though!!!

        Awesome, Cat! I'm glad you finally got a chance to head out there. I'm sorry for the last minute change of plans... well, the 2 or 3 of them...

        I was going to head out there with my gf and her brother that day but her brother got pulled into working and Kat wasn't really up for the drive.

        How did you like it up there? Looks like you had fun. Quite a view, huh?

        We'll have to set up another trip soon!

          Thanks so much! Yes, Landon was telling me you guys were trying to plan something. We were up in the air too about plans, but either way I HAD to shoot. The drive wasn't too bad, but your directions and maps made it easy. Thanks again.

          What a qinkee-dink... I'm Cat with a C! Yes, the view and the setting was just gorgeous. The sun was so gently warm with a hint of refreshing breeze... made it perfect-O!

          I think we need to make a Nevada trip. I'm dying to use 30 round mags. Last time we went I had so much fun. The scene is just so breath taking. Oh and there's some caves and stuff too for exploration.

              Hehe, yup. Cat and Kat

              A Nevada trip would definitely be fun. If you guys want to try and set something up in a few weeks let me know and we can make a weekend trip out of it. I'm just dying to have my long range rifle finished by the next trip. Only about half done though

              It looks like they set up to the left of the dirt road (when driving up). Looks like a decent spot for the short range stuff though.

                  I was trying to go up there again too this weekend with another calgunner and LewDog maybe too but it didn't work out. Next time though hopefully. I really missed shooting at an informal outdoor range, they closed my Desert Hot Springs spot a few years ago.

                    MMmm... darn it I don't recall. If I can find that paper with directions I'll let you know. Turned left after that mile marker Lewdog posted about and then went left and right. HAHA. I know I suck at directions.

                      OMG I heart it so berry much! LOL. I wish shorter barrels were legal. "Sigh." I need to clean it though.

                      Oh yes, Vegas would be awesome. We can have a shoot/play in Nevada weekend. Gotta check with Landon's schedule though. I don't work weekends so it's not a big deal but he sometimes does.

                      When is your rifle going to be complete? Pics???

                          Glad you like it!

                          I'm actually heading out to Vegas in a couple weeks to work at the SEMA show. Going to be a long week but I've been contemplating bringin' the AR along to have some fun when I'm not working. Not sure how the boss would react to that though. lol. Let's try to set something up one of these days though. Shoot during the day, gamble/drink/club at night? Sounds like a plan!

                          I'm hoping to have it done within the next couple months. I'm going to be ordering the lower and hopefully the stock with the next paycheck probably and then the barrel with the one after that. I don't have any pics yet being that it's all just loose parts but I can lay them out on the floor and snap a couple to help with the imagination

                              We used to go shooting at blm land in 29 Palms ("The Dump") but I believe it's shotgun only now, 'le sigh'.
