BLM shooting area near Lake Elsinore, Riverside County, California

[@ozziecampos1920]

YES! Please always pack a trash bag, bucket, and rake. Lets try to keep places like this open

[@jonathan193466]

I'm going to contact the local BLM office and see if any agreement can be made for it to be reopened. Wish me luck I'll keep you guys posted.

[@SpanishBroomaker]

I'm guessing nothing happened...

[@damidnightgolfer]

Did you die?

[@golfmvr]

Apparently not only did BLM tell jonathan no to reopening the range but they came to his home and killed him.

[@MR-nl8xr]

Hello.

[@strakill]

You pack it in you pack it out. We have had two shooting areas her in northern Santa Barbara county area close because of crap like this, not to mention the BLM land at the Carizzo plains no longer allows target shooting because people won't pick up after themselves, shameful.

[@pauljakubowski206]

could you provide directions to get to that location? which freeway/side streets, etc??

[@jonathan193466]

I've never been to that location but it looks really nice. It would be nice if we could start a petition to get it reopened under the condition that it be cleaned bimonthly by volunteers particularly ones who use the range. I'll be happy to volunteer my time if it means I have a place to shoot

[@Ratonc2]

Get off on the Lake Elsinore Outlets exit you will see an Arco off the freeway. Go east away from outlets and you will pass a rock quarry. Continue about 3 miles. You will see the "No shooting" signs. I wouldnt recommend continuing as you could get ticketed.

[@firstimeshooter6590]

suthi loeur seeing how you guys clean up after yourselves you guys should hit up a range by diamond valley gulf club. The owner allows ppl to ride dirt bikes and shoot on the back. He does keep an ear out for any explosions and rapid fire. I've bumped into sheriffs there but they were really cool didn't check our firearms or anything he did check IDs because we are in the gulf owners property but. Really cool place I am having a hard time keeping it clean lots of tires and left over trash.

Was such a cool spot, but this spot is officially closed. No longer aloud to shoot there, Law enforcement has been given the orders for mandatory citation by city of Lake Elsinore.

Good day shooting enthusiasts! As of 03/17/2024 this area above is closed for shooting. I have personally verified it. Also the "Christmas Tree Lane" spot in Perris also closed for shooting. I have also recently checked the BLM land past Hemet known as Bee truck trail and although it is open for shooting the road is closed due to water damage making the roads dangerous. There are signs prohibiting driving on them. Barstow is open according to a Victorville Gun shop who I called last week to check to see if the area was open for recreational shooting. He did suggest I drive in a couple of miles due to lack of gun safety by weekend shooters nearer the freeway. 4X4 recommended. Be safe out there gents and remember that BLM land is patrolled by Rangers who will check your weapons and ammunition on demand. So better safe than sorry.

[@nathanzavala4288]

Is it still open

[@glockmeister26]

Unfortunately it is closed. the only place that could possibly be open is Bee Truck trail in Hemet. I have been calling the ranger station but no one answers anymore. If you live near there maybe you can drive by and see if any signs are posted about no shooting. Due to the fire danger I'm sure it will be closed. I guess I have no choice but to join the Rainbow shooting club near the Border Patrol station off the 15 frwy.

Me and my buddy would go out there to shoot drills and other stuff we couldn't do on a "square range". We'd haul a truck load of trash back with it every time. We never put a dent in it. :( Far more people were trashing the area than cleaning it. I'm sure it won't last another few years before getting shut down.

If we all took some trash bags next time we went up there with a few friends and just cleaned up for example 20 yard radius after we were done shooting - regardless of whether the rest of the trash was ours or not - that place would look a lot better and we wouldn't be sitting here worried they'd close down our favorite outdoor shooting spot.
