I would love to do a desert run and I know of a truck I could get my hands on.

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

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?

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.

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

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.
