Welcome to Hell-paso.
We shoot out in the desert all the time.
Let me know when you want to go.
Welcome! I prefer to stroll out towards hueco tanks to do my shooting. Peaceful, and pretty.
Welcome SJS.....I am also kinda new here too and am a novice shooter. I live on the far West Side and usually shoot at The El Paso Gun Club in Anthony. Was wondering where people on the West Side shoot in the desert over here. The range won't allow any kind of target that break apart, and paper gets old sometimes. I used to take my son out to Black Mountain by LasCruces, but we got chased outta there by an unmarked helicopter...lol..kinda freaked us out so we dont go out there anymore. Love to know a good place to go in the west desert that doesn't require a 4x4...
Thanks for any suggestions, Chris
Hello there, There are some nice places to shoot on the west side desert area. Across from the border patrol annex on highway 9. ( word of caution tho)
there's a mean, knarly looking guy who keeps this place clean, on several ocassions he's "jacked up" some people who were leaving trash there. but other than normal courtesy about range trash. he's a nice fellow.
2 wheeled vehicle has no issues at all.

No issues with the Border Patrol fellas out there ?? As I had mentioned, I got kinda chased outta the desert at Black Mountain by an unmarked (it was green and white) helicopter. He came in really low and fast...stopped directly above us...hovered..circled us 3 or 4 times low enough that I can tell you what he was wearing and what brand sunglasses he had on..lol. He then hovered for a few seconds again and zoomed away very low to the ground the same way he cam. I high-tailed it outta there!! Skeered me real good! We were at least 20miles from border.
Anywho...is that place on highway 9 private property? And whats the best way to get there?
Thanks for the response sir... =D
