Recreational shooting spots (BLM)

[AndrewSD]

Any suggestions for recreational shooting spots on BLM lands close to San Diego? I think about some practice and clay target shooting as well. So looking for good spots not too far away from home area with good access. Something maybe in range of 1-1.5 hour drive from Poway/Rancho Bernardo. Thanks.

Hate to say this but leave the clays to the commercial ranges. yeah i know they biodegrade but out in our deserts they take for freaking ever to do that. If you can not leave it like you found it do not do it. With the way things are now i do not want to loose our ability to target shoot on BLM land.

We must take on the NRA! Congress needs to stop wasting lives and take action on gun violence — now. We must keep guns out of the hands of people who should never have a gun. We need 100% background checks and to close loopholes — especially with gun shows. We need to rid our …

here are the tools you need to see if a area you want to shoot is good to go. Trust none of this, i found it on the interweb and it could be wrong.

Like Aeon said, Use a range for clays. Look at what Bidens staff is tryng to dump on us, unifromed b.s to sway the public. Automatic weapons ? Huh ? clueless people for sure with an agenda. Teach your neighbors the truth so that they can make informed choices.

I suggest to go to a gun range, and pay the extra cost. it may become unfreindly out there.

Escondido Fish & Game Assoc. has clay shooting open to the public on Wednesday nights...Take a drive up there...Very military/LE friendly and close to home.

ps...Things may be different with the Covid crap.

I believe EF&G events are currently only open to EF&G members and invited guests (up to 2) because of Covid. Check the website.

I know this is a bit of a haul from San Diego, but it’s a nice place to shoot.

Southbay Rod & Gun is only $125 per year. They have several different ranges from rimfire, skeet, 100 - 300 long range. If you add it up when you go to other ranges that charge either hourly or day fee and if you go several times then it pays for itself.

There's also Palomar Gun Club out towards Lake Henshaw/Ranchita...I do believe there's a waiting list to get in...May have some public days.

Just please, wherever you go, pick up after yourself. I work on BLM land, and the mess that the shooters leave behind is ridiculous. Shells/casings, paper, plastic, bottles all shot up that were used as target, etc. Driving around the signs on closed firebreaks, making their own roads. We are our own worst enemy. I know its only 10% of the people, but they make us all look bad.

Have fun, enjoy.....
