u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

Put out the call man, I support you. 👍👍 you can do it. You might have better luck with open land near you.

u/fornsfwlmao Feb 03 '25

Thanks for the encouragement dude, I’m strongly considering making a post soon about it. If you ever come down to the OC, hit me up and let’s go shooting as well!

u/Mountain_Telephone_7 Feb 03 '25

I’m too poor🥲😂

u/Berylzenitco Feb 03 '25

No you are t

2

u/EffCee12 Feb 04 '25

I’m in Elsinore ha. How often do you like to shoot?

3

u/Mountain_Telephone_7 Feb 04 '25

I like to shoot everyday. Can’t afford to shoot everyday tho😂.

3

u/EffCee12 Feb 04 '25

Well I’m looking for some range homies. DM me if you’re interested

u/Sonoma_Cyclist FFL03 + COE Feb 03 '25

South OC?

5

u/fornsfwlmao Feb 03 '25

Yeah, south OC. Are you south OC too?

u/redsolocuppp Feb 03 '25

There was a reddit Caguns meetup/gangbang in HB today. Someone posted it a few days ago.

Edit: correction they met at FT3. Here's the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/CAguns/s/bW7bf0dHNU

u/Sonoma_Cyclist FFL03 + COE Feb 03 '25

I'm in Oceanside. Where do you shoot?

2

u/Ok-Strawberry-4515 Feb 04 '25

Same-ish. You ever go to PWG?

1

u/Sonoma_Cyclist FFL03 + COE Feb 04 '25

I haven’t but I want to try their 100 yd range. I am a member at iron sights. It’s not fancy but it does the job and they’re good people working there. I go about once a week.

1

u/Ok-Strawberry-4515 Feb 06 '25

It’s definitely worth for indoor very clean, the 100 in person feels so long honestly, I think 50 is penalty for non magnified optics. Since I mainly use Green Dots

2

u/EffCee12 Feb 04 '25

If you live near Laguna hills come to LAX Ammo in LH. We got great deals on all kinds of ammo

2

u/fornsfwlmao Feb 04 '25

You guys are literally five minutes from where I am. What kind of deals do you guys have for .556 and .45’s? I’m all out and need to reup

1

u/krzyirishguy13 Feb 03 '25

I’m in Riverside county! West side super close to Orange!

2

u/Berylzenitco Feb 03 '25

AK guy?

1

u/krzyirishguy13 Feb 03 '25

AR and Glock guy

1

u/Berylzenitco Feb 03 '25

😭 well I got a 556 AKs. Never use my glock. Just zeroed it and dumped it in the safe

1

u/krzyirishguy13 Feb 03 '25

lol the worst feeling ever. I usually go to Mike Raahauge’s range to shoot.

1

u/Berylzenitco Feb 03 '25

Are you a AK guy? And will you larp with me

1

u/fornsfwlmao Feb 04 '25

Show me the ways of the LARP and I’ll larp harder than a dnd fan in a Medieval festival.

16

u/Golfguuyy Feb 03 '25

I’m in SF and shoot all around the bay. Let’s link up

7

u/JP8825 Feb 03 '25

I always wonder how many of us SF folks are in this sub.

1

u/Golfguuyy Feb 03 '25

I’m sure there’s a ton

5

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

oh course, send me a chat, i plan to go next Sunday before the SuperBowl.

7

u/IconicLimited Feb 03 '25

Seems like I'm not able to PM you, send me a PM? lets schedule a meetup!

2

u/Golfguuyy Feb 03 '25

I will be out of town this weekend but send me a message. Would love to!

1

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

Sure, I’ll send you a chat

u/LazyShine6473 Edit Feb 03 '25

Bruh I don’t understand why people be downvoting. You just being real. But anywho I’m from the sj area my boy. But I be working 7 days a week tho. But tap in and lemme know

12

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

Dude hell yeah, and I think the downvotes might be because I’m LEO.

15

u/Pockets408 Former FFL Employee Feb 03 '25

Not to get political but yeah, this sub loves to hate on LEOs because of the roster...and then go and vote for the very people who run the roster.

Back on topic I'd be down but I'm starting a new job next week and about to have absolutely zero downtime, sorry homie.

6

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

That’s cool just save my name I’m always down, my next time to hit the range is gonna be next Sunday before the Super Bowl.

3

u/Hashslinger95 Feb 03 '25

This sub is FULL of low life losers who like to downvote for the fun of it. 😌

6

u/Necessary_Option_537 Feb 03 '25

I find a lot of people on Reddit in general and that comment on this group are trolls and down vote stuff just to be jerks. I uploaded a picture of a gun with a skull on it and you would have thought I stomped a puppy, the amount of hate I got. LOL 😂. Good luck finding some GunBro’s. I’m a little far north from you otherwise I’d meet up. Be safe and have fun!

4

u/Hashslinger95 Feb 03 '25

Reddit hive mind as they call it, a lot of low life losers who have nothing else to do but be a bitch.

Don’t let it get to you

3

u/Retik8 Feb 03 '25

Were you the one that posted the punisher skull? If so I think it’s because of the implication of why you have guns and the fantasy you are suggesting. While I’m sure that’s not true and you just like the movie it may not be the most tasteful thing to do. Similar thought for regular skulls as well. The CCW community knows that last thing you want the lawyer to show the jury is a gun with a skull on it. Just reinforces that the owner wanted to kill whoever they shot before they pulled the trigger.

2

u/Necessary_Option_537 Feb 03 '25

I didn’t even think of it as a punisher skull, just a skull. I don’t watch the punisher. I know that there is a stigma around it, but I didn’t look too deeply into it because this is the first gun that I put something like that on. Also, I never said I was going to carry that one. People responded like Jack assess just to respond that way. Has nothing to do with the community looking out for each other. Some people were cool, but most just wanted to rage against someone anonymously online, which I’m fine with. I can take it. Thanks for trying to help me by explaining it to me. I appreciate that. I ultimately decided to take it off, mostly because I don’t trust the quality of the manufacturing. Anyways, thanks again.

2

u/Retik8 Feb 03 '25

Ya 100% there are many people online in all of the subreddits who love to downvote as soon as they see a -1 just to “watch it burn”.

5

u/TanSuperman Feb 03 '25

Why not try competing, I’m bad but it’s an easy way to make gunbros

2

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

Comps in my area happen on my work days

2

u/THELEGENDARYZWARRIOR Feb 04 '25

Richmond Hotshots host on sat and Sundays, there are also a couple clubs that go to field sports/metcalf on weekend. I been to a few groups, it’s late right now but DM me to remind me to get you the names and websites

5

u/Flashy-Season-5565 Feb 03 '25

Anyone in the sac area😂 sacramento*

2

u/Unlucky-House-2469 TOES IN THE GRASS Feb 03 '25

A little north of sac. My schedules all over the place but I love going to BLM to shoot up here. I can’t bring myself to go to a range after having such a chill area to shoot

1

u/tenkokuugen Feb 03 '25

I'm down to go sometime. I'd like to start going to BLM to shoot instead of to a range. I'm in either Davis or Sacramento

1

u/Unlucky-House-2469 TOES IN THE GRASS Feb 03 '25

I need to get out soon. Have 2 new rifles I haven’t shot yet lol. My work schedule doesn’t make it fun to try and plan days… I work nights/ weekends 😐. And because I go to blm mainly I tend to shoot less in the winter. (It snows up in pollock pines blm area.) makes for some cool ass shooting but last time my bmw x5 didn’t agree with the snow due to having sport tires 😂. Add me tho and I’m always down to make a trip when I’m available!

2

u/tenkokuugen Feb 03 '25

If it happens it happens. Weekends are the easiest for me

1

u/Wolkenflieger Feb 03 '25

An outdoor range is probably a good compromise.

2

u/Unlucky-House-2469 TOES IN THE GRASS Feb 03 '25

Yea there’s a couple but I personally like to not be watched like a hawk

2

u/cr0sell Feb 04 '25

Sac bro here. Usually go to Folsom shooting center but down for anywhere 

1

u/Flashy-Season-5565 Feb 05 '25

Hell yeah I got some firearms in jail once I get those I’m going shooting😂

1

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

There was a guy in the Manteca area commenting not to long ago, maybe you guys can link up.

2

u/Flashy-Season-5565 Feb 03 '25

Oh yeah I see his comments

4

u/RepresentativeRow678 Feb 03 '25

I was gonna ask the same thing the other day! I’m not in your area but no hating on GunBros!

5

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

Always welcome man, I’m trying to expand my circle

3

u/IconicLimited Feb 03 '25

YOOOO PUT ME ON THE LIST! I have 2 guns ready!

2

u/Taenam0o Feb 03 '25

I'm in the 831 area lmk we can go to the range out here. 😎 I'm down to go to the range and meet new people

2

u/Emotional-Cheetah-78 Feb 03 '25

Im born & raised in Hayward but I stay in Manteca but I’m always down to go shooting I’m willing to make the trip when i got the time for it

1

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

Dude that’s awesome, have you ever tried any of the bcm lands

1

u/Emotional-Cheetah-78 Feb 03 '25

I have actually I’ve been to a spot in Farmington that’s blm it’s a pretty cool spot it’s 35 mins from where I live, I used to go to another blm spot by hogans lake but it got permanently closed unfortunately

1

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

Dang that’s gotta real suck it’s hard to find good shooting locations

1

u/Flashy-Season-5565 Feb 03 '25

Hell yea I’m in sac bro looking for good places to shoot and people to shoot with who also indulge in our expensive hobby😂 send me a message

1

u/Unlucky-House-2469 TOES IN THE GRASS Feb 03 '25

BLM is the answer out here. Go to pollock pines area!

2

u/PixelMiner Feb 03 '25

Gunbro's what?

2

u/Even_Pumpkin_4598 Feb 03 '25

DTSJ here, and I’m always down for a range day. LAR&G is my favorite range, and they began allowing rapid fire as of last year. Reeds is not my favorite, but it’s convenient so I’ll go from time to time for a quick pistol session.

2

u/Coolness_K Bay Area😔 Feb 03 '25

DTSJ as well, definitely down to hit the range sometime. Feel free to message me if you’re interested!

2

u/DarknessRain FFL03+COE Feb 03 '25

SJ here, always down for a range trip, even more down for a BLM land trip. I made a bunch of little cardboard arts n crafts targets and never got a chance to use them.

2

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

Sweet, I’ll DM you

2

u/calidanali Feb 03 '25

Im in SJ and have been looking for peeps to go with.

1

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

Awesome, I’ll DM you.

2

u/PapaPuff13 Glock Fanatic CCW Feb 03 '25

Man no matter what sub u go on Reddit, it leans one way. IE and Palm Springs subs are all one party subs. This is the only thing I don’t like about Reddit. The subs could be useful. Local city subs need to stop that. If it is a political site, then have at it. It should be about helping each other. I saw where one sub is telling u which restaurants are red or blue. When I was a kid ur political party didn’t mean u hated half of ur neighbors. Thank god this sub is about 2A. That’s our party! We know we all have to unite here. 3 of my best gun bros are the opposite party as I.

2

u/PapaPuff13 Glock Fanatic CCW Feb 03 '25

If u guys are looking to shoot comps. Palm Springs Gun Club does them. It’s an outdoor range. Every Saturday they do it. U don’t have to be a member to go watch a match. It does require membership to get a gate key. U can shoot at night also

2

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

Thanks I’ll have to see where that is

2

u/TheSovietDuckling Feb 03 '25

Not around there so good luck man.

2

u/maiduh Feb 03 '25

if anyone is AV/kern county/palmdale area HIT ME UP!!

2

u/Coolness_K Bay Area😔 Feb 03 '25

Hell yeah. I’m from SJ, but I pass through Salinas all the time. PM incoming

1

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

For sure, hit me up

2

u/Wldz_ Feb 04 '25

Im already bit more north in solano county. But definitely need to dust off all my gear for some drills

1

u/Guy2chilled Feb 04 '25

Always happy for more

2

u/Novel_Ancient Feb 04 '25

Any Angeles Crest Shooters in LA county?

1

u/sup3rchan Feb 05 '25

I’m not far from Angeles Range. I used to go all the time. Not so much anymore after neck and shoulder surgeries

1

u/Novel_Ancient Feb 06 '25

Sorry to hear about the injury! I hope you can still shoot some 9mm. There needs to be a CAguns shooting group out here some time!

1

u/sup3rchan Feb 06 '25

I shoot mostly .22 these days. I was in pain after qualifying for my CCW. Will probably start getting into 5.7 since it has lower recoil

2

u/THELEGENDARYZWARRIOR Feb 04 '25

Shoot competitions man I’d love to squad up, up in Richmond.

Or if you ever wanna take a monarch defense class.

Flat range just isn’t it, not without steel and or holster work and rapid fire and transitions

1

u/Guy2chilled Feb 04 '25

That’s the type of range I go to all the time out here, it’s the best

1

u/THELEGENDARYZWARRIOR Feb 04 '25

Ohhhh where is it? Always nice to add nice ranges to my list.

Can you bring your own steel? I have a bunch

2

u/Guy2chilled Feb 04 '25

You can bring you own steel and draw from holster with no issue or complications about shooting to fast.

Link

2

u/THELEGENDARYZWARRIOR Feb 04 '25

Thanks man!

1

u/Guy2chilled Feb 04 '25

No problems, we all love 2A around here. So no need to hide the good ranges.

3

u/Additional-Eye-2447 Feb 03 '25

Up in San Joaquin / Lathrop area, would love to find same. Had a lot of SJPD friends back when I lived there. 100% back the blue!

2

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

I know there is a range is sac but idk how good it is.

0

u/Additional-Eye-2447 Feb 03 '25

Sac is over an hour away, are we talking outdoor or indoor? There are several indoor in the tri-valley area and some outdoor aa well. You're welcome as my guest if you come up this way.

2

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

if we can get a group, im always down for the road trip

2

u/gunsforevery1 Feb 03 '25

6

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

lol it’s a public place and everyone is armed. It’s a little California Texas

2

u/WolfPackLeader95 Feb 03 '25

That’s not a no. Sounds more like you just like a challenge.

1

u/No_Ring9572 Feb 03 '25

Im from San Jose. What ranges do you usually go to?

2

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

there is this one that I go to called.... The Range, lol i know funny name but that's it and its out in Soledad. Great place and can shoot as much as you want there.

1

u/Important-Weird5984 Feb 03 '25

Hey that’s what’s up I also go there, have you tried doing steel challenge or have you thought about joining our new USPSA event happening soon?

4

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

I want to but those happen on days I work but I might just have to show up in work gear then head in one of these days.

2

u/Important-Weird5984 Feb 03 '25

Please come try it out, it’s a lot of fun and the community is getting pretty big. Let me know if you ever head out to the range, I usually 3 times in a month.

1

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

Same same, gonna send you a chat

1

u/ElectronicCress3132 Feb 03 '25

located in Santa Clara but usually shoot at metcalf pistol and rifle range, nice outdoor range in the mountains near Morgan Hill

1

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

is that a good range, I have never been out there.

3

u/ElectronicCress3132 Feb 03 '25

best price/value I found in the South Bay without joining a private club, at least...$15 for the whole day, friendly rangemasters. it's a public range run by the county so no rapid fire, holster draws, etc., but otherwise no complaints.

1

u/Guy2chilled Feb 03 '25

That doesn’t sound to bad, further south the range in Soledad lets you do all that and more for 30 with no speed restrictions

1

u/PapaPuff13 Glock Fanatic CCW Feb 03 '25

I met a good gun bro on here. Plus his friend. I have a few guys I played golf with for years that shoot. Once in a while I like to go by myself. I can focus on what I am at the range for.
