We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Well, we posted links to maps that contain the coordinates.
By the way, on the map I linked to, I shoot right under the power lines.
They buzz nicely.

Off topic but are there many natural gas filling stations around? I spent about 6 months living and working in NE Brazil and there a good portion of the cars are modified to run on normal gas and natural gas. They add a big tank in the trunk and near the steering wheel is a switch to change between gas and natural gas. Most gas stations there also have a natural gas pump.

There are not many, around 10 or so. But it is enough to keep me going around the valley.

I went shooting today, But I went to a place that is a secret. It is clean and nice and I want to keep it that way.

How far out do you need to go?
I want to take my kids today, but the last time I shot in Utah was about 10 years ago.
We used to go fairly close to Salt Lake, just past the airport and right off I-80, there was a large ditch.
Here's a map, but it looks like there is a small building there now?
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=40.775992,-112.062778&spn=0.008368,0.013733&t=h&z=16&layer=c&cbll=40.775992,-112.062778
Anyone still shoot there?
If not, what is the closest area to Salt Lake now where you can shoot guns freelywithout being harassed?

I wish more people would do that. I usually take home two bags or more of crap that I didn't take out there.
I don't know how many of you from Utah county remember being able to shoot at the foot of mahogany near the mouth of AF canyon,as I recall all the trash left behind by shooters is what got that area closed long before there where houses or a golf course there.

I would really like some clarification as well, i would really like to go out to the west area (like you pointed out) that is somewhat close, but without worry of trespassing or shooting within city limits. I would like to do some silly stuff like shooting fruit with my shotgun and my own targets for my pistol (all safe of course) and ranges will not let me do thus.
So if i could get someone to tell me if this location that is marked would be okay that would be awesome!
Im all for cleaning up where im at too!

I've recently had some friends recommend the Liberty range on the other side of Ogden Canyon near the Pineview reservoir. It's supposed to be open day and night and is unmanned, so you can do your own thing. Has anyone ever been there?
