Out California way Visalia Range has been our homestake since 1979. BR is really spread out in the SW Region. Now 3 active Ranges Registered NBRSA in California- Visalia, Sacramento, and Ojai. Hopefully Angeles Range will come on line in 2010. Lots of driving time but as Jackie says you ain't seen driving till you shoot the Texas circut. Makes me wonder since we have several Alaska Posters if they shoot Registerd up there and how many Ranges. Once in awhile at San Gabriel Range we got a couple of Alaskans shoot Registered with us said they were making the big swing, actually San Gabriel was their home range before they moved to Alaska one was a commercial fisherman in season.
Visalia was my second intro to BR shooting. I called Dennis Thornberry and he said take J 39 till you see the landfill turn left past the cornfield and dairy and listen for the shooting. Back in 1993 Visalia looked like a sap sucker convention with a bunch of yuppies from all parts of California and Arizona with their latest greatest BR guns and 2 to sell. I knew this Lee Six / McMillan bunch from San Gabriel Range so I was at home. Been there every year since shoot the whole Program. Visalia is different you get on the wagon you shoot near record aggs. You bring the wrong flags you suck all weekend and everybody lets you know about it been there done that. But Dennis never laughs at Shooters he just 'says see ya next time'. Great Range Great shooters.
