Re: Alternatives to Gun Ranges

I'm currently in another state but we use the nation Forest. There are some areas that you can pull off the road. You'll then have about 100 to 200 yards to shoot and then theres a hill side. Forest Service Law Enforcement just waves and drives on by. All the Forest Service did was put up signs saying to clean up after yourself and to use paper targets. On the radio you hear commercials saying not to you stuff like tannerite on Bureau of Land Management land between (if I remember right) may and October because of the danger of wildfires.

When I was living in Texas there is a little slice of land on the north side of Sam Rayburn that is Forest Service. Some Game Wardens stopped by one time and talked to us. They said what we were doing is perfectly legal. The downside is you're pushing to get 30-40 yards at that location. My wife wants to move back so I'm going to have to do some scouting in the Davy Crockett NF for a place with more room. That is the downside about Texas, there isn't a lot of public land to shoot on and at least in East Texas there aren't many dedicated gun stores. Just a couple of small cramped ones or ones that are mixed in with pawn shops.
