Like the title says, I’m looking for a place to shoot anytime I’d like basically, as my time off is limited and strange hours at times. I really want to stay away from like guan-ho-ha and places that require 48 references, $8,000 cash down and a bottle of cambodian beast milk. Any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated! ---

All clubs around here now require “sponsors” for membership. Also no place will let you shoot anything after dark outside, and most don’t allow any rifle bigger than .22 in their inside ranges. Best bet is having a friend with lots of land letting you shoot there. ---

Lake Desolation. Its about a 30-45 minute drive from here but its a good place to go. Ask my brother since he hunts up there and knows the area. ---

Someone told me of somewhere around here called something hill, can’t remember the name, but it was an outside range and like $20/yr or something crazy like that. Where would you suggest for a sponsored place? > [@WTB// B- Series turbo set ups ????](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtb-b-series-turbo-set-ups/47283/9): > > Lake Desolation.

Yeah, I mean I could just go to my camp, but I’d rather not drive that far every time I want to shoot… ---

I dunno really. I’m a member of the club near the lot, but they’re around $60/year and are pretty strict as far as what you can do. No rapid fire, only 100yds, no standing and shooting. I only go there to sight a gun in on the bench, otherwise I shoot either at Vlad’s property or my brother’s dad’s place up in Broadalbin. ---

They still arent taking members and they arent added to the wait list any more either. They just had a change as the previous president stepped down but they voted down a notion to expand the membership from 1200 to 1500 members ---
