Hello, It's me - Someone! (grin)
Ewok, hope you don't mind if I jump in... It is your show after all - don't want to steal your thunder...
More range details - This place is my weekend hangout twice a month.
Full Auto is fine. See it all the time. Veggies - No prob. There is a dump right in the neighborhood that will take a small donation to dump. I shoot computer and laser printer there on occasion.
Directions:
From Reno:
Take Hwy 395 or Virginia Street south out of Reno to Carson City. Stay on it even after you hit Carson City. You will see a McDonalds on your right near KMart, then one on the left... You will want to make a left turn on Hwy 50 soon, so don't snooze. Once you are on Hwy 50, stay on it... you will begin going up a hill - that is a clue to watch the right hand side. You should see a sign that says city dump or something that denotes a dump... take the next right hand turn. It's a paved road.. but not for long. You should see a sign on the right side talking about radio controlled flying area... shortly after you will see on the right side a sign for the range. Take the right turn... Now you are on dirt washboard road (last time I was out there it was) Follow this road for less than a mile and you should end up doing a couple of switchbacks down to the range.
Best time at the range is early morning. Very little wind, probably not too many people. Wind will kickup around 10:30 to 11:00 am. Oh, forgot - You do have a choice of ranges - the rifle range previously described or the pistol range which is max 50 yrds. Rifle range is set to hold targets at 50, 100, 150, and 200 yards (pretty sure - it's not marked so I am guessing)
On Hwy 50 there are numerous Arco/quick stop places for snacks and h2o. A Longs is also on the way with middle of the road pricing on ammo and targets (don't forget film and batteries)
This range is presently CLOSED. Some sort of project - I suspect a good thing - perhaps upgrades. It's due to be open on August 4th, so I will report back faithfully should anything change. (this will give me a chance to revisit my directions - I take a short cut which might lose someone...)
We will see you there!
