Here are driving directions to attend one of our Vegasshooters.com Desert Buffet Shoots (DBS)
Take the I-15 south to the Sloan exit. (exit 25 which is south of St rose pkwy by 1 exit)
Turn left at the stop sign and go under the freeway heading east about 100 feet until you T into Las Vegas blvd.
Stop at the stop sign and reset your trip counter on your odometer to 0000 and then turn right onto Las Vegas blvd and head south.
Head exactly 6.1 miles south from exit 25 and you will see some small little green mile marker signs on the side of the road on the left (east side of road). The turn off is just after mile marker 12 (I believe the mile marker at St. Rose Pkwy and Las Vegas Blvd. is mile marker 20 so the miles decrease in number on the signs the further south you go)

The turnoff will be a paved road, and will have a strange shaped Liteweight mine sign that looks like this.

Turn / veer left off of Las Vegas Blvd., and head east on this road. After about 1 mile, the road will wrap around to the left and after a bit more then it will change from a paved road to a gravel / unimproved road.
Drive a bit further until you see the flag. (it used to have a hubcap there and sometimes members of our group still call this "the hubcap spot", but I believe we have changed it to a flag)
Turn onto the dirt road at the flag and drive until you see the cars.
Here is a Google Earth place mark that you can download to your computer. If you open this with Google Earth, it is the exact spot we shoot at. Zoom out a little bit and you should be able to see everything clearly.
