Pine Flat Rd. Healdsburg

[gunn]

The area to shoot is at the very end of pine flats road. Behind The big iron pole gate about 200 ft there is an area that you can shoot. It is best for pistol as it is not very long. It is a long curving narrow road so take your time and enjoy the views.
From Redwood Hwy outside Healdsburg You take Alexander Valley Rd to Hwy 128 keep going straight pass Jim Town you come to a hard right in 128 but you need to go straight . You are now on pine flat road keep going straight and It will take about 30 minutes to reach the top.

Hi:
My wife and some friends are planning to rent a house in Kenwood, CA over the Labor Day Weekend. Since I haven't gone shooting in a while, some of my friends (the guys) were planning to sneak off from the wives to go do a little target shooting.

Pine Flats (top of the hill) seems to be the closest unregulated spot.

Q: Since the last reference I see to shooting up here is in April, I just wanted to check - is this area still open for shooting?

I also need to confess that most of my camping this summer has been out of state.
Q: How dry are the conditions out here and it is even advisable to go shooting? I don't want to be the jerk that sets something off.

Thanks in advance for your replies.
Regards,

It's still open. Bring fire extinguishers if you're concerned.

just shoot against the hillside
Bring a target stand or similar. Take your trash with you.

And to be extra safe, don't shoot anything with steel in it. See if it attracts a magnet.

Clean up GTG?

Is this place still available to go to? I'm in Calistoga and would love to check it out. Free to head over there or need to get with someone? Thanks!

Looking at a satellite view of the area I believe to be where everyone is shooting. It is not that large? Looks like if you set up on the road, the furthest you could shoot is about 50 yards?

[beenawhile]

Yup that's about it. I've heard if you hike around the road a bit it opens up

Pine Flat range cleanup!

Sunday, Oct. 13th

Meeting at Big John's parkinglot, SE corner, by 9am. Bring trash bags and whatever food you want, and whatever you want to shoot afterwards. I'll have an ice chest full of drinks again.

Not many people committed to this one...

It's much cleaner still than the first time we did it, and won't take all that long. Then we can shoot, and you folks that want to see the game can get back to that.

Post here if you're going to make it, and if you have any particular soda/gatorade/tea/whatever requests!

How was the clean up?

[CarpeDiem601]

Let's get a clean-n-shoot goin!

[Spyder]

Ya just missed one a few weeks ago!

[speeddemon1187]

a buddy and I will be checking this place out tomorrow (if we can find it) if anyone else is going to be up there. We've both never been so hopefully it's cool (since it's much closer than Cow)

[beenawhile]

It takes about the same amount if time +/- 5 minutes from my house to either Cow or Pine flat. Pine flat is maybe 50 yards

I'll be out there Friday. I'll be leaving with a truckload of garbage. Whatever fits gets taken away.

I wouldn't really call it a "cleanup," but it's worth something. To anyone else going to shoot, do the same once or twice a year.... just bring a pickup and load it up before you leave.
