You can get more information about Parker County Sportsmans' Club here: http://www.parkersportsman.com/; and here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/parkercountysportsman/. Unfortunately, due to knuckleheads violating the range safety procedures, they appear to have at least temporarily suspended any more new-member orientations: http://www.parkersportsman.com/membership.htm.

I used to shoot at Burro Canyon when it was still a fairly new range. I also used to shoot at the San Gabriel Valley Gun Club range in Duarte, at the mouth of Azusa Canyon. That was the very first range I ever shot a centerfire firearm at. But I lived in Pasadena, right near the Rose Bowl, and the Angeles Shooting Range at Little Tujunga Canyon was more convenient. It also had longer ranges available than Burro Canyon. When I shot Burro Canyon, the longest range they had available at the time was the steel plate hanging at 175 yards on the rifle range next to the office. There wasn't any shade there then either......just some folding cafeteria-style tables and folding metal chairs.

Only REAL men shot there! . I also used to do a lot of trout fishing with my son up the East Fork, beyond the entrance to Burro Canyon.

I used to shoot at Angeles Shooting Range up Little Tujunga Canyon, and on the BLM land along Mount Emma Road. Also, there were a couple of shooting areas up in the mountains off of the Angeles Forest Highway that I used to go to.....don't remember the names.

Anyway, I'm a member of Parker County Sportsmans Club, and they allow FMJ rifle ammo, but NOT any AP, which excludes the M855 green tip 5.56 ammo. It's about a 1:15 hr drive from where I live in Grapevine, but you have to be either a member, or guest of a member to shoot there.
