I've gone here on and off over the last ten years. I grew up in the country in another state, target shooting responsibly in the wilds, so I still find it unpleasant to have to plink and target shoot at a range. But this is the only one I've found here that is comparably pleasant, albiet not a substitute for plinking in the wilds, or enjoying hand-thrown clays in the high desert at your campsite.
It is very big, and the outdoor aspect is very nice. I can't stand indoor ranges and don't go to them anymore since finding this place.
And I do not go here on the weekends -- far too many people, some of whom, well, aren't exactly the good ol' boys I grew up with. Let's just say there are some real interesting gun afficionados here in Los Angeles, and they seem to materialize on weekends at this range. Plus, I don't like how the safety factor narrows, theoretically, when there are so many shooters in one place.
But the majority are folks who put off a good vibe, and do their thing whether it be black powder, professional target shooters, hunters dialing in their rifles, simpletons like me doing what I've done since I was 10, (often wondering why the guy next to me with the high-dollar pistol and new, fancy gear can't stay on the paper!) and of course the local law enforcement sometimes show up in mass to practice (I think it used to be a certain weekday morning -- DEB guys with all their "swat" gear).
Safety at this range is top notch -- the line officers don't mess around, and I like that. But keep an eye out for extra measure. Every once in a while you see somebody who obviously isn't well trained with a firearm.
Enjoy the great California weather, and pack a cooler with a lunch. Bring eye protection and exceptional hearing protection -- double up with headset and good earplugs. Every so often you end up next to the guy with the bolt action fifty caliber! Ka-BOOOM! and suddenly the earplugs ain't cuttin it anymore!
Enjoy!
Pros: outdoors, California weather, long range shooting
Cons: too crowded on weekends

I really like to shop at fashion gal, i go to the mall and spend hours there and come home empty handed, but i go to fashion gal and as soon as i walk in i find what i want. The prices are great, even do a couple of things could be some what expensive but i would still recommend it to all my friends and family. And i also can take my friends that are plus size and help them find what they need with out walking out of the store empty handed because they have no clothing their size.

El Chaparral is a nice Mexican restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. They also offer a buffet instead of ordering off the regular menu. The strawberry margaritas are good and the service is nice.

We used Professional Cheap Movers on June 30, 2008, on a very hot day, and yet, in spite of the heat, they worked their tails off, literally running back and forth. We were done as quickly as humanly possible! Plus, the crew was polite and fun to have around.

This is mine and my husband's favorite little Italian restaurant. The pizza is so good. The ingrediants are fresh, the sauce is tasty, the cheese is unbelievable and the pizza is cooked perfectly. You might need a fork to eat the pizza though because all the toppings weigh it down making it difficult to eat it one-handedly. We usually order the pizza but have ordered other menu items now and then and have never been disappointed. The dining area is decorated very nicely and a bar has recently been added. This is a great place to bring the family or on a cheap dinner date. The food is inexpensive but really good. We've gone there for the all-you-can-eat lunch and the choices vary day to day but all are good. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed.
Pros: Good food, inexpensive
Cons: Sometimes crowded
