Are the roads here in the national forest and state forests considered maintained?  I see quite a few people shooting out the backs of their trucks parked on teh road, and off the side of the road.  I was under the impression that you had to be off the road by a distance.  There were 3 younger guys this saturday with ARs standing in the middle of the road shooting.  Nearly had to drive around them.  One guy was shooting targets off the gate for the closed road.  Its no wonder really that the others dont want us target shooting on public land.  Its only a matter of time before we have no where to shoot.  Try going up to FS7710 on a Saturday for a peaceful drive lol...

Shooting off the hood of a truck or laying in the back are illegal. You cant shoot from a vehicle in WA.

We use the woods.  Have a couple of large rock pits we use for sighting in.  Have a very nice clearcut we use for 400 yd. shooting, with no other roads around.  Have to find a new one in about 3 years though.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

We shoot at a small piece of state land not far from the base here.  It has a nice 100 yd lane right into a dirt backstop.

Is that a private road in the first photo?  It looks like you have your chrono set up in the middle of the road and you’re shooting down the middle of the road.   :yike: The 5th photo down looks like you’re shooting across a paved highway.

The 5th photo down looks like you’re shooting across a paved highway.

I've shot at these places w/Jamie... they're all quite safe... and legit. What looks like a paved highway in that picture... is actually an old railroad trussel... and most of the shooting is done onto a hillside to the right of the picture. You want to take a loooooooong poke... Jamie has the places to go.

Private Sand pit for 250 yards and less
Spokane Valley Rifle & Pistol Club @ Mica when I need to shoot longer - out to 1000 meters.  I haven't hit that target yet, haven't tried either, but I like the novelty.
By the way, I haven't shot anywhere, because I am waiting for the snow to clear.  Can't get to the Sand pit and the gun club is closed.  Here is information about Spokane Valley Rifle & Pistol Club@ Mica

Nice looking setups Jamie. What's the longest you have found to shoot up CF? Almost have my .300RUM setup and am looking for a place to air it out (if you don't mind sharing spots).

OK, I can't believe that this one hasn't come up.  I think it is one of the nice ranges that I have ever spent time on.  I don't go there much since I live in Spokane, but I used to spend some time here.  It goes out to 500 yards, but is probably one of the nicest covered ranges around.  They are always looking to raise some revenue by adding members.
