Additional Information:
The area is very popular with recreational target shooters and others because of its close proximity to the metropolitan Phoenix area. Unfortunately, this area is also prone to illegal dumping, littering, and debris that needs to be cleaned up.
The NRA encourages its members who depend on Federal public lands in Arizona for target shooting and hunting to volunteer their time for this event. If you can volunteer, please wear a NRA hat, t-shirt or jacket to let other sponsors and volunteers know that you are NRA!

The NRA is sponsoring this event along with:

Bureau of Land Management | Arizona Game and Fish Department | Arizona Firearms

Arizona Off-Highway Vehicle Coalition | Barlow Adventures | Boone and Crockett Club

Congressional Sportsman's Foundation | Discount Tires

National Shooting Sports Foundation | Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation | Safari Club International

Tread Lightly!

If this is one of your shooting places, you should participate in the cleanup. When I lived in So. Cal., we lost several shooting areas because people completely trashed them, and not enough efforts were made to keep them clean.

Actually I don't shot there - mainly due to unsafe gangbangers and tweek's who do shoot there.
But I plan to help clean it up as every place we loose is never returned to shooters.

Hope to see some of you there today

Art, my surgery is the 17th, otherwise I would have been up there.


btw, I heard there are foing to be more planned events, possibly 1 per quarter with different clubs sponsering each one...not sure if it is true or not.

as when I go free range camping, I always take out more trash than I bring in, it is sad.

Went shooting Wed out lower sycamore creek
found a smouldering camp fire and picked up two trash bags of junk
and there was plenty more to pick up but I didn't have room for it.
Sort of makes you sick of your fellow man/slob.
At least if your going to do it do it at home like I do
