I hear you. Having a place that is private assures you some safety you may not feel on BLM land. I used to hunt and shoot on BLM land, & still do shoot up in the Sierras. People come out of nowhere, or without respect for others. Be safe if you decide to go that route
A hundred bones seems like a bit of coin- are you a Diablo member? There are a lot of LD shooters in the club, we could arrange a club event or two. Might have to include powder burners as well to get enough numbers to offset the century note cost.
