50 shooter

If I go out to BLM land it takes me 90 mins. to get out there driving at Fwy speed. Don't have to worry about RO's or other people on the range. It allows me to shoot out to 2,500+ yards and have a small mtn. as a backstop. Down side is that it's still to close to people coming up to the high desert from L.A. For them it's about a 3 hour drive depending on where they're coming from to the spot I go to.
Other then that I can drive about 20 mins. to get to a private range that costs $60 a year or drive about an hour to a public range that costs $15 for the day. Public range is nice, rifle range is on one side of the range office and the pistol range is on the other. They have two private ranges that you can rent out. Also have a separate shotgun range and silhouette club that you can go to.
To me the desert is always better but involves more to go out there and shoot. Public ranges you have to deal with people you don't know and don't know how they act while shooting. Always a trade off whether you pay or don't and what kind of range you shoot at.
