BLM closed all shooting spots near pleasant lake

[knockonit]

WEll, big bummer for sure, knew when they were going to HELP us out with nice ranges in the desert it would be the beginning of the Control issue, even explained that to them at meeting, oh no, we wouldn't do that.

well just about everything near lake pleasant is posted now designated recreation area and no shooting, every spot we every frequented is shut down had to happen first of week as was out there last week.

this is bullcrapp for sure

Yep, sorry to say I called it.

Agreed, Saw this coming as soon as they started on the designated spots. Thanks for the info as I wanted to head out there this weekend. Now I guess it will turn into a scouting mission to find some new spots in the area...

This is BS.....

This upsets me. Now the desert trash will wander deeper towards my secrete spot.


Remember when a guy could shoot off Miller Rd?

I suppose that's what I'll be doing this weekend as well. But, I may get there very early in the morning and get a few things test fired before, I won't see the sign cuz it'll be dark when I get there.

Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day

If BLM can burn cities we can shoot guns in the desert. Just don’t steal a toolbox in Tucson, the line has been drawn.

we need a daddy warbucks so he can buy azs members some land l

At some point this was going to happen with all the trash being left at the sites and issues that have arisen over the years. Hopefully the public ranges they are making are actually going to be good but I have a hard time believing they will be.

Or we could pool together some money to buy a big chunk of land. How much land do you need anyways to be able to shoot on it while keeping required distances from any neighbors?

1 mile from structures. No shooting over roads.

I better head out tomorrow and check my spot out that way. Still have one if it's closed at least

[blasternaz]

Bummer. To many people with to many hobbies. Liability issues usually rear their ugly heads when you start talking of private land/ranges. Used to love going out to the Aqua Fria syphon area off 99th ave. Sigh, the "good old days".

[That Guy]

Oh shucks. If only there was a world class shooting range on the way to LAKE Pleasant and one of the top tactical ranges in country to the south. Shucks, gosh darn it, of fudge, and “H” “E” double toothpicks.
