Some pics from the shoot at Prado.


Some people have better aim than others.

This pic looks fake, but it ain't. This is what we were shooting at.

Guy (a.k.a., Shaolin Crane) on the left, his GF Vanessa middle, and Cliff (a.k.a., GTTS>Some) right.

Guy shows Vanessa some stuff.

http://motorgen.com/pic/data/1003/10-07-24_Prado_09.jpg


Ah, that's adorable. Guy instructed my brother and I as well but refused to use the spoon method.

http://motorgen.com/pic/data/1003/10-07-24_Prado_10.jpg


Guy, imagining something we don't want to imagine.

http://motorgen.com/pic/data/1003/10-07-24_Prado_14.jpg

Can you find the ejected shell?

http://motorgen.com/pic/data/1003/10-07-24_Prado_15.jpg

Uh oh, it's my brother the Israeli Irish hit man. Note that Vanessa having mastered the subject is now instructing.

"Can't hit the side of a barn" Cliff preparing to bring the pain.

Silly boys, this is how you do it.

http://motorgen.com/pic/data/1003/10-07-24_Prado_22.jpg


Hey look, I'm gonna shoot dollar bills (almost).

==========================
OP

Date: July 24

PART ONE:
Location: Prado (http://www.shootprado.com/)
17501 Pomona Rincon Rd
Chino, CA 9178
Time: Meet outside 2:15-30. Go in at 2:30.

Info on the park.

- Rifles are rim fire only, no center fire.

- 20$ gets you into the range for the day and you can shoot anywhere for the day, pistols, rifles, shotgun.

- It's up to the range officer how he wants to divide people, but multiple people can be in the same lane according traffic

- It's just first come first serve, no reservations, so it's up to the Gods how it goes down.

Click here (http://www.motorgen.com/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=1272&day=2010-7-24&c=1) and push on "Click if you intend to go to this event" if you, uh, intend to go to this event.

PART TWO:
Location: Huntington Beach, entry to parking at the end of Brookhurst, a mile or so south of the pier.
Time: TBA (probably around 5:30)

[Leedom]

I like it. Nothing like blowing off a little steam at the range and then driving responsible to eat meat!

[mustangray]

Let me get this right, Guns, Burnt meat, and the beach, throw in some Bacon (Gods most perfect food) and it would be perfect I'm in!!!

[enkeivette]

I wouldn't go but I'll bet my friend Mike would want to go. He rides a Harley and that 420A Turbo Avenger.

[Vettezuki]

What if we could get girls in bikinis to hand feed you the bacon?

enkei, let your friend know.

[Vettezuki]

Uh, read first post . . .

[gunfish]

Sounds good!

[mdpalmer]

I don't know a thing about firearms, but meeting down @ the beach is something I'm always down with. Do you have a spot in mind @ the beach? Bolsa Chica, or near the pier, or where...? I've had success @ Bolsa, but you have to pay $15/car to park these days. We may be able to park in the lot directly to the east of the Bolsa entrance for free. If you hang out north of the HB pier, but south of Bolsa, you can park on the street, but you have to walk a bit, generally speaking, to get to the beach...

[kdracer73]

I like the idea, but will be in San Jose visiting my daughter that weekend.

[GTTS > Some]

I'm in, have to use my aging ammo for something

[GTTS > Some]

Fish Canyon Range :gatlin:, Azusa (605 @ 210), then a run up to Mt. Baldy :drive:, tram ride :bananallama: to the top for lunch :drool:with a view:nuts:.


Ok that's a working title.

It seems we have at least a few "firearms enthusiasts". Let's go shoot something! I mean that in a socially responsible way.

Firing Line Huntington Beach (http://www.firingline.net/)?
Late May? (Like Saturday May 29)

I'm thinking meet for shooting, then cruise down to the ocean for BBQ, etc.

Feedback please.

Duly noted. Great idea!

[Chuck]

I am in either way. But I like Mt. Baldy idea better beach is a parking nightmare 22nd is better the old lady wants to go and she works the opposite weekends. This sounds like the perfect time to break out the S&W 500 I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. I got about 60 rounds at $2.00 a piece. So thats a sure way to blow some money in this economy.

[BRUTAL64]

Long ways to carry weapons too. Something more local like Firing line in HB is good.

Ben, you are aware that this (May 29) is a holiday weekend right??? Sean and I will not be able to assist with getting a fire pit at the beach if you pick this weekend (due to lil Jack) but the prior weekend isn't an issue. :)

I thought Fish Canyon was closed?

[GTTS > Some]

The second trip is out, all-gone. Burro canyon is still open but no one should go there, they shoot with bags over their heads. How is it that all the freedoms for the many keep getting taken away for the demands of only a few? :crap:Found the info on "Fish Canyon" (link attached), thanks for the heads up, it's been a few years since I was there with my M1A1 .308 Super Match.
http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=224665


I thought Fish Canyon was closed?

[GTTS > Some]

Looks like the San Gabriel Valley Gun Club (Fish Canyon) took over or merged with Burro Canyon, and if so it would be safe to shoot there, that club is "PRO". However, dirt roads to get there, the last time I went there 10 years ago, anyway, tic-toc.

[Vettezuki]

We need like 6 people at least to commit to the range time. Let us know EITHER WAY, by clicking here (http://www.motorgen.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15368).

[jedhead]

I won't be able to make it. May is a busy month for me on weekends. I have to get ready for the Strawberry Festival. The youth group I am involved with has the Strawberry Shortcake concession and takes most of my time for the month, especially the weekend before and Memorial Day Weekend.

Bob

[Shaolin Crane]

I'm in, i need to test out my latest mods to my 1911, hopefully i'll have a new piece for my lady to shoot by then

[Leedom]

I do not owe a gun but would love to go with you guys. Shannon will be out of town that weekend so I would be flying solo.

[kdracer73]

Frankie and I have to make a run out to Palm Desert This weekend. :bang:

[Shaolin Crane]

I have another .45 you can borrow if you'd like to use it, just buy some ammo
on another note, lytle creek is an awesome place to shoot

[Vettezuki]

I'm changing the date to June 26 for a couple reasons.

1 - kdracer73 and jedhead couldn't make the 22nd.
2 - I gotta pile of crap I'd like to make some headway on.
3 - This May has been a bit cold. Cold beach = not as much fun.
4 - June 26 is a full moon!

That'd be pretty cool actually. My concern was just that a lot of people might have had other plans for the weekend. I'll put up a poll.

Yeah I voted for 24th I am most likely moving in to my new condo in Yorba Linda. It took a year but the wait paid off. I am not out in Chino or Corona where I started looking. F that drive to OC every day from the IE. Also I do get my P220 all Stainless .45ACP "Oh Yeah" On the eleventh of this month.

woops i just noticed i put 226, its a 225, but yeah i'd rather have a 220 but i need something small for my lady and the full size series sigs are just too big for her

[Gary Wells]

Put me down for this, I am an avid shooter, even though I cannot hit the side of a barn from the inside. I shoot there with a friend anyhow on Saturdays. Opening time is 10:00 AM, and it can get crowded. Best to be in line a few minutes early.

Can you pre-rent a lane(s), uh, like bowling?

[Chuck]

Maybe someone (Sean) could call them and work his boyish charm and get us a few lanes reserved.:thumbs_up:

[kdracer73]

Still have not decided , but here is some pics of another trip. Desert plinking is much more fun than that 1 round a second crap at the range ! And check the video section for a cool Saturn jump :bigthumbsup: That is me in the blue shirt...

[Gary Wells]

I shoot in there almost every Saturday, I can ask them & find out if they will pre-register any of the lanes or what is the best way of handling a group shoot. To the best of my knowledge, it is first come, first serve.

That'd be cool for another trip. Like when it's cooler. Maybe we could do that on a day when the night will have a meteror shower or something. This time I'm looking to go from range to beach.

[kdracer73]

Frankie and I will be in Virginia on The 24th and won't be back untill the 1st of Aug. Have a great time !!

[MassAppeal]

I'd be down for this meet! I just wish I could bring the good guns to shoot over there.... I guess I can just bring the HK and glock but I wanna test out my AK47 and AR15 pistol :D

Those are not legal in Ca----:(

yeah they are, i own both, legally

[Vettezuki]

yeah they are, i own both, legally

My cousin has some naughty weapons. As I understand they're legal because he owned them before the restrictions came into place. Also, apparently it's a PITA to transfer them to family members (requires tedious paperwork) and of course you can't sell them to anyone in CA.

nopem as long as you have a radlock for the AK, and an off list lower for the ar pistol, and a bullet button, and neither of them can hold more than 10 rounds you can legally own them
one i started a few months ago

one i finished last year

[MassAppeal]

Those are not legal in Ca----:(
yep once you learn the loopholes of making them California legal its amazing! :bigthumbsup:

join www.calguns.net and read and learn!

Amazing thing about ak pistols and ar pistols is there over 6 inch barrels so with a single shot sled put in place of the magazine with a bullet button of some sort makes the gun legal to DOJ for registration even though its not on the California approved list.
After you pick up in 10 days there is no law stating you cannot convert the single shot sled back to 10rd magazine. :pot_stir:

Also with full length rifles all you need is the mentioned raddlock or similar device to make the magazine fixed (which is easily reversible to detach mag if apocalypse zombie invasion happens. :lmfao: all in about 1 minute)
and since the mag is no longer classified detachable you can have all the so called evil features such as pistol grip, forward/tango down grip, threaded barrel, flash/muzzle brakes, etc.

check out www.riflegear.com for all your evil weapon goodness, (there in Costa MEsa)I've got my mac10 from there as well as my AR pistol and soon to be AR build. (also heard they just got SCAR's in as well :hail: )

And the law makers/politicians of California have already found out about this loophole but they do not want to change the rules because of the 10's of thousands of people who have already done this would legally be able to have registered assault weapons and be able to remove the mag locks/hi cap mags.
So they are just letting it be for now... That is until they eventually ban all guns :hunter:

[MassAppeal]

That'll have to wait for the desert I guess. :pot_stir:
Lets do a desert meet! but we will probably need trucks :crap:

[BRUTAL64]

:popcorn::popcorn:

Both sizes? Mmmm....

That is until they eventually ban all guns :hunter:

Well I'mma figur'n that if a Democrat controlled congress (sorta) and a popular Democrat President (once upon a time) have to tip-toe gingerly around gun control, the anti-gun lobbey really is never going to get near that goal. But yeah, gotta pay attention.

[Vettezuki]

Lets set it up I really want to shoot my new 45 soon.

lol, then make the drive to lytle creek you can shoot anything you want there

[Gary Wells]

The range would be a safer bet for the 1st time out. You can separate who wants to go desert shooting from there. I shoot in that range almost every weekend and it is safe, clean, well organized and well run. I did not know that they did not allow the S&W .500 shooting in there. I will check next time that I am in there. They do keep a pretty close eye on what ammo is being sent downrange. Can't blame them there. Their backing plates may not hold up to that kind of power.

you know if you can shoot 5.7 there?

[Gary Wells]

I will find out next Sat or Sun, Shaolin, when I expect to go shooting again. I will double check on the 500 also. I would almost swear that someone in the lane next to me was shooting a 500 a couple of weeks ago. I just shoot a little puny .45 auto so they don't bother me too much.

[GTTS > Some]

If good souls you can't play, then maybe next time is the next fun. I have had to miss a number of great runs with MG due to "whatever & however" (would have been better there then where I ended up at). This hunt is good so do what you can to play, and if not, wish all that can the best that can be, and then dial in for the details.

Take care and smiles all-around.

I'm not the one who wanted info on the 500 Chuck was, my question was if they allow 5.7

But i saw we make the trip to lyttle creek, its about 15 miles inland of the 15 off sierra, right by bass pro shops, no firing speed limit, no caliber limit, no ammo check, no gun check and its only $13 all day, the road is paved all the way to the gun range, however the actual range itself is all rocks and would be quite rough for cars (i would NEVER drive my stang up there) but its alot cheaper than spending a few hours at an indoor range and with no restrictions means everyone can take all their goodies

[Gary Wells]

Doesn't really matter to me, I am a member there so I shoot for free. If everybody or the majority want to do it outdoors, so be it. I just thought that it would be nice to join the group for a range shoot. I don't really think that the range will go for pre-registration, even pre-paid, but I will ask just in case. There are probably other ranges that will be more obliging, but come up short in other categories.

If you cant make it, wish all that can a good time. Try to make the next one and check back for the details of the run.

You missed your calling....you write like a politician. LOL

[Gary Wells]

Went shooting today, as normal, couldn't hit the side of a big barn from the inside. Talked to the rangemaster. Prognosis does not sound good for the shooting event on the 24th. They advised that you can shoot any handgun up to & including a 44 mag. They also advised that a group shooting would be all but impossible on a Saturday. They also advised that lanes could not be reserved, other than for members, even if they were paid for in advance. I passed this info along to Vettezuki and the names of a coupler of people to talk to there about any other arrangements. How many people are members there. I believe that a member can share his lane with 1 or 2 other shooters for $9 an hour or $9 an hour for each non-member shooter. They operate on a first come, first serve basis.

I passed this info along to Vettezuki and the names of a coupler of people to talk to there about any other arrangements. How many people are members there. I believe that a member can share his lane with 1 or 2 other shooters for $9 an hour or $9 an hour for each non-member shooter. They operate on a first come, first serve basis.

[Duplicate of PM sent.]

Basically if the range master is not open to making such arrangements, it's probably a no go there. Where are the other local so-cal outdoor ranges, not *too* far from the beach? Prado? Lytle creek? I don't know anything.

I went to Lytle Creek today, and the range is huge, plenty of space for lots of people, covered lanes, and only 14 bucks for the entire day, i say we go there

That sounds pretty cool, but do think many would be willing to go to the Creek in the day and to the beach in the evening? (The groups don't have to be the same of course.) Maybe I'll finally buy a weapon if we go there. Riflegear has a Sig 522 LR that looks pretty cool for <$500.

The range closes at 4pm so if we showed up at 8am when they open, leave at 1-2pm and make it to the beach by 3-4pm, Its about 70 miles from Lytle Creek to Huntington beach

Just a side note....History channel has a show called Top Shot.
It is two team elimination challenge . Each team starts with 8 members, some handgun and some rifle shooters. A mix of law enforcement, military and competitive shooters. Each week there is a team vs team challenge and the loosing team must pick two members who shoot against each other in a elimination round.

Thats crazy you must have been on some kind of watch by big brother :lmfao:
I posted many pics for years and have tons of friends that have and do as well
and never heard of this..
I mean if you go to calguns.net everyone and there mom showing B.A rifles/pistols and they would be first to say something if they we're being contacted.
Unless you got some stuff you should'nt have ;)
As far as I'm concerned they already have tabs on everyone and what they have as soon as you fill out the forms and stick your thumb print on the paper to acquire a gun.

The gun in question was totally legal, just a very rare, and very "evil" looking gun, and the site i posted on just so happened to have a member that was a DOJ agent. So was just bad timing, and bad luck i suppose.

They have a range at Prado? I'm packing a 1870 Remington rolling block sporter in 45-70, A 1898 Krag sporter in 30-40 and a really nice early '94 winchester sport rifle in 38-55. Usually just go out past Barstow, but with BLM squating on every inch of land it's harder now to find places to shoot

Cool, maybe I'll get both. The pistol and rifle ranges are separate. I'm gonna ask them tomorrow if there's one pass for both. :huh: The advertised price on the site is

$20/day, apparently for each range, not the whole facility.

They're closed today, I'll call tomorrow to confirm. A couple guys here (gunfish and Douglas Mariani regularly go there). I asked gunfish and he said unless we show up with a bus or something (I honestly expect <= 10, but who knows) it *shoudln't* be a problem.

Doug?

well at the firing line its, $20 an hour, and you can have 3 people at each range, and not pay extra, or have to rent another lane

[Vettezuki]

Info on the park.

- Rifles are rim fire only, no center fire.

- 20$ gets you into the range for the day and you can shoot anywhere for the day.

- It's up to the range officer how he wants to divide people, but multiple people can be in the same lane according traffic

Ok, so how much ammo is appropriate for a causal, break filled two hour~ blast-o-thon. I was thinking 100 of .22 and 50 of 9mm.

There will probably be at least Sean there earlier, but sometime between 5:30 - 6:00. Unfortunately, we won't know exactly where on Huntington until then depending on availability of fire pits, etc. PM Sean and me with your cell.

[iespeed]

Aaahhh! no centerfire, that explains alot. Did not know there was a range there in the first place. Seemed odd that a highpower rifle range would be located so close to humanity!

"Wait, What?" Rimfire; I saw a few WWII 30. Carbines running fun-fun-fun at the Prado about 1990ish....Ok, I guess many things have traveled and failed since the original design was built , circa 1984, bummer on that. Pistols are still good!!!

Since I don't have a particularly good head count for the beach portion, and have just been so busy recently, the food situation is this:

a- bring your own
b- eat at a shack (that's what I'll be doing)
c- beg/starve

Sorry, usually we'd hook a lil' somthe'n up but it wasn't in the cards this time.

[Vettezuki]

Also, for those of you who don't have the time to go shoot'n and jsut want to go tot he beach, PM me and/or seanplunk with your cell and will let you know near what life guard station our pit will be at on Hunting Beach. Sean will be at the beach from early afternoon, the shooters will arrive around 6:00~

[Shaolin Crane]

Snapped a tie rod today in the truck. but i'll be there....hopefully

[SeanPlunk]

It sounds like you guys had fun shooting, but the beach was not so easy. Vettezuki showed up pretty early in the day only to find out that if you didn't get there by 8, you don't get a fire pit. I arrived around 1, and it was crazy. It took us 45 minutes to find a spot to park. I remember now why I don't go to the beach that often...

See OP for photos.

Some observations form the day.

Shooting guns is fun! I think both my brother and I were like, "uh oh, I feel another money sucking hobbey coming on."

Guy was kind enough to bring his .22, 9mm and .45 and let me shoot with them. Many thanks.

Shooting the .22 was fine, a good way to learn, and basically very inexpensive. A gun is less than $200 and you can buy 500 rounds for less than $25. That's a lot of shoot'n for not so much.

Next stop, 9mm. Kicks a lot more than the .22 obviously but not so bad. Ammunition isn't too expensive, but already a lot more than .22. About 50 rounds for $10.

I brought ammo for the .22 and 9mm, but Guy let me fire a clip from his .45 as well. It kicks a bit harder than the 9mm and makes a very different noise.

Cliff also let me fire a clip from his .40. It probably felt the most natural to me personally.

[blackax]

And, because we are a car web site after all, Cliff shows us his latest mod.

Thanks so much for the nod, almost like I knew what I was doing, just a little-bit, maybe. The D-37 took me to Super-car Sunday in Woodland Hills (7-25) many there really had a nice word for the marque >DATSUN< mod. Neat stuff this time out to SCS, the theme was a muscle car event and many of the muscle car crowd smiled at the ">DATSUN<" (wishing I still had my 1971 Torino/Clevland-351-GT). Smiles all-around at the Prado Shoot, it was a great day and fun-fun-fun, thanks again Mr. VS. So a proposed "Rule #1" for the next "Cannon-Run" our little "Miss Vanessa Oakley" has to shoot left handed, standing on one foot & blind folded, just to allow for a base group handicap.

Take care.
