Greetings,
I’ll be in the Kern county area visiting family and I’m looking for a place to target shoot. I’ve looked online and all the ranges around there require memberships. So now I’m looking around at public areas. I’ve done a lot of web research, called the BLM, etc. and I’ve narrowed it down to just a few places.
First, I heard that you can shoot for free across from the local Tehachapi Sportsman Club range. I have not been able to verify this 100%. Does anyone know if this is true?
Second, I read there are areas off of Willow Springs road S/E of Tehachapi were you can shoot, but I also heard that’s all private property out there. Does anyone know if it’s legal to shoot out there and where exactly it is?
Third, and it’s further away, but I know for sure you can legally shoot in Jawbone Canyon, but it’s a pretty big area out there and when I called the local BLM, they didn’t offer much info as to where exactly to go there to shoot. Does anyone have any details about where to go in Jawbone?
Also, if anyone knows any other places closer to Bakersfield that would be great also!
Thank you for your time.
