I recently wanted to get back into this activity and even went so far as to line up a used pcp to purchase, but that got me thinking, I have no idea about places I can shoot in Southern California. I am fairly certain it's illegal to do in my backyard in Orange. So to my question: does anyone know of any good places to shoot in Orange County, CA? Thanks in advance.

Places to shoot in socal?

I'm in the same boat. I too live in OC. I keep asking around with no luck. I end up driving over an hour to shoot.

There's a field target club in the area and they shoot at two different ranges-not sure if that's what you want to do, but here's a link to their site:

I don't shoot field target that much, but it is fun and challenging! I have met some of the folks who are part of the club, they're all good people!

Depending where in Orange county, the place we are shooting at on Sunday is not far you should come out (no powder burners allowed). We are meeting up at the McDonalds on the I15 & 138 highway at 7 a.m. The place is BLM land about 6 miles away from that.

@atlatl: Yeah kinda sucks. Where do you end up shooting?
@JohnL57: thanks for the heads up. I will check them out.
@Ginuwine1969: thanks for the offer. The next time you all roll I might tag along though can't this time as I have guests in town and still haven't gotten the pcp yet. Thanks all the same.

Sorry I missed out! How was it? Trying to schedule time off has been difficult lately.
Is this a place anybody can go to or private.
I'd liked to go during the week if possible, if not I hope you guys plan another trip soon!

Some lot's closer than others but plenty of Field Target in CA ( and I'll wager not one person there owns only 1 airgun so you can get hands on with other types of airguns ) not to mention learning more in one day than ages of reading the internet. Heck it's worth it to me to drives several hours one way.

Sorry Regarval, too short notice. But lets through out May 29th (Sunday) and see how many people would be interested in getting together at 730 and shooting for a bit. Looking for 10 people or more to make it an event 
. Repost where ever you want to get the word out.

I went on google earth and looked at the area around the top of the Ortega Hwy. There are a lot of dirt roads up there that should be easy to find an area to shoot air guns. Some areas require a pass you can get at the store at the top. I found an area the was pretty good below a microwave tower to do my first shoot with my cricket.

Not many airgunners in my area. I just grab the opportunity as it comes along.
An hour and a half drive to my cabin, and lots of shooting space.
15 minutes to the shooting range - but not always It is convenient for other than burners .......
but OFTEN.......... And I mean much too often...I find myself driving in my car looking for places to shoot........and end up home with a full bottle, and no trigger amusement. That sucks, and I swear to myself: why the heck didn't I drive to my cabin in the first place!
Anyone else experienced this?

That's close for me. I know exactly where your talking about.
Might be a good spot for OC guys that might not want to drive all the way out to the Cajon pass area.
