nobody ? guess its time to get a state land map out. lol

honestly it will be unlikely someone will post up good spots to shoot on a public forum. There are far too many people that abuse the desert and dont clean up after themselves to risk posting places on the forums. Not saying your one of them but anyone could be looking.

just look at the county assessor map.

I have a private 10 acre range on the northwest side and 40 acres on the southwest side. Before that I just used the assessor map to find shooting spots.

i was taught to leave a place better than it was when i showed up. kind a Nazi about it if someone is with me. i do understand though. thanks

Good man, I’m the same way and usually the one loading up a truck load of crap that I didn’t bring to haul it out. This is true with guys sharing the more extreme 4wd trails too, usually kept on the down low in public to avoid unnecessary traffic that any respect what we are given.

I will say there are a couple good places to shoot up there, that’s typically my area as well. Been shooting out there for years but the increasing population in the nw valley is causing more people to find their way to the good spots.

ya...No one shares shooting spots anymore. The common places got TRASHED in the last few years.
I always take a contractor trash bag or two and fill er up every time

I shoot a lot out in Queen valley. Once a year I rent a gannon tractor and go out there and clean up a little bit.

You could check out church camp rd. Also I hear lots of people are shooting out off of table Mesa Rd.

[Elk34]

I thought table mesa rd was closed due to all the trash being left in the past?

how was it locked? road blocks?

It's closed periodically for cleanup from my understanding, but it's been open. Totally trashed by the way.

If you're interested in getting a membership, you could go to Cow Town. I've never been there, but I've heard good things. It's in the NW valley south of Lake Pleasant.

I havent been out to church camp or table Mesa, but I've heard from people going out there. It was really busy this weekend I guess. Maybe during the week is better.
