Long range practice?
« on: July 05, 2016, 07:52:29 PM »
Where do you guys go to practice at longer ranges? 200,300,400 + yards. I'm in the olympia area but have only shot in the hills.

My back yard too. Out to 735 yards so far
https://www.howlforwildlife.org/take_action  It takes 10 seconds and it’s free. To easy to make an excuse not to make your voice heard!!!!!!

The range on Lewis no longer allows magnum rifles.

Yea but you might be in someone else's mile.

That place is too crowded.

I had a good spot to 1200 yards in cap forest, but the last two times I've tried to get back there, the damn gate has been locked 1/2 mile before I get there...

+1 for Capitol State Forest.  I refuse to pay to shoot at a range somewhere.  I can shoot 600-1400 yards there in the same spot, and have yet to see another person where I go.  There are some cool spots to find if you look.
