*That shooting area is to the Summerlin shooting community the same as BBT is to riders. It is technically illegal to shoot there, but it's technically illegal to be in the whole area at all. The fine if caught is less than $100 and nobody cares so nobody issues them. The metro chopper rountinely observes shooting going on there and they have no concern.

It's def. illegal to shoot or ohv in this area as signs have been posted by both summerlin and the blm, here's a map showing so(for shooting only)...
Why do you say it's technically illegal to be there at all?(honest question)
Because, I know for a Fact the county is in the process of building a park and Mtb/hiking trails in this exact spot!
*There is no danger in shooting into a mini mountain facing the houses. And you don't have to be 3 miles from homes, you have to be 1000' from them.

BS.... You have to 1000' from a designated road...paved or not and any occupied facility.
Gaspipeline road IS a designated road. And also smack dab in the middle of the green area(illegal) on the map posted above.
There is a major danger if said area is now populated with other outdoor users including lots of seniors from Sienna and Summerlin South hiking that bluff and Mtb bikers using BBT.
Ever hear of a ricochet hit?
Don't believe it can happen?
Would you like me to provide links to accidents right here in the valley?
*I ride street and dirt motorcycles, don't mind riding horses, camp, fly airplanes, shoot guns, hike, hunt, and go Jeepin in the great outdoors. I do all this in the same areas that we all too often have to share between the different groups.

Good for you! I also do all of those things except fly planes, did get to fly my pops R44 heli a few times though.
Owned all sorts of ohv in my time, just sold my rhino
*None of the groups as whiny as the cyclists. The cyclists always want to cry about horses shitting on their trail or cars going too fast and too close, or motorcycles being too noisy, or hikers that won't get out of the way, or shooters safely shooting into a backstop. Cry about this, cry about that, cry about anybody that's doing anything besides cycling.

Don't necessarily disagree with this, however bullets whiz zing past is a lil disconcerting.
*To each there own. Just because somebody else likes to practice a different hobby in your area doesn't mean they should stop doing it or stop doing it in your area.
REPLY~
I agree, except when said hobby can kill another human being.
There's lots of desert outside city limits to go to. There's also a GR less than 3 miles away.
Just my 2 cents, not directed at anyone.
