I actually have a membership at Desert Trails, it is only a few min from my house.
What I'm looking for is places out in the middle of no-where.... where some co-workers and I can shoot up some old car parts. |

There is a decent spot off Houghton, south of the fair grounds east on the powerline road.
Some decent backstops if u drive in far enough. Also a decent spot at the old nuke silo that has a nice backstop, about 15 min from Rita Ranch on I-10. Biggame223 Out |

The spot off Houghton is good.
Just south of I-10 on Houghton, look for gate on east side of the road. Go through the gate and drive 3-5 miles down the powerline road until you find the pit off to the left. |

Sounds good to me.
Now, is it legal to shoot there? No residence or anything too close etc? I would hate to get my ass kicked by a LEO for shooting out there :) |

I have not been there for a couple of years, but when I have been there, I have never been alone shooting.
I don't know if it is legal, but it is well used. [Edited to include the verb "is". Public education at its finest] |

I think Redington is a no shoot posted area now. Sloppy shooters left too much trash. I shoot at Desert Trails since it's only a minute from my office. I would like a good place to go full auto, may have to try the S. Houghton spot.

Hmm, I havn't seen any signs posted about no shooting at redington -- then again, I may of missed them on my way up.
My co-workers and I are good about picking up our leftover targets -- the printer we took out there last time took a good 15-20 min to pick up after a few hundred rounds ;) |

Redington is still leagal to shoot for now. I got stopped by USFS guys a couple weekends ago. They asked to see what I was shooting and what at. Basically he said as long as you pickup your trash he doesn't care. He mentioned something about some guys that had been shooting full auto up there that they were looking for. They apparently drug a car up there to blast away at and burned it at the end of their shoot (no to mention left it out there) They were chapped about that. I asked if they were going shut the area down to shooting and he said he wouldn't be suprised if that happened in the next couple of years.

Doesn't suprise me, I've heard full auto fire when I've been out there.
I've also seen a lot of empty beer bottles and cans left out there. Figures people would ruin a good thing. |

Any of you guys remember the "pit" up off Tangerine Rd. before it got shut down? I grew up on the north side and all of my old shooting spots are off limits now.

ah yes, the pit on tangerine. if it wasn't for the dove mountain homes we'd still be shooting there. that was a great place, 10 mins from my front door!
after they closed that i moved west to the power line road and followed that northwest. there a big wash that ran into the mountains that was good for shooting but that to is closed to shooting. my new spot is in pinal county, anyone had any run-ins with the sherrifs in pinal? how are they about shooting? |
