Thought I heard today on the radio a fire restriction in place prohibiting outdoor shooting, but it's more of an advisory, anyways I dug it up to make sure. 19 August, 2016News Release Oregon/Washington Contact: Jeff Clark (509) 536-1297BLM Issues Fire Restrictions Order in Eastern WashingtonSpokane, WA –The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Spokane District has issued a fire restrictions order on public lands administered by the BLM in eastern Washington. The order is effective Aug. 20, 2016 at 12:01 a.m. in the following counties: Adams, Asotin, Benton, Chelan, Columbia, Douglas, Ferry, Franklin, Garfield, Grant, Kittitas, Klickitat, Lincoln, Okanogan, Pend Oreille, Spokane, Stevens, Walla Walla, Whitman, and Yakima.Caution is advised at all times when operating motor vehicles on roads or trails with vegetation or high grasses, and due to fire hazard risk the public is asked not to bring fireworks or exploding targets onto public lands at any time. The public is also asked to ensure that any campfires are completely extinguished and cold before departure from a camping area.Target shooting with the use of exploding targets (including Tannerite) is prohibited. Target shooters who start wildfires may be responsible for the cost of fire suppression. Wildfires caused by recreational target shooting in dry grasses have steadily increased on the Spokane District over the last few years. The easiest ways to prevent these fires from starting is to ensure your target area (at least 20 feet around the target) is free of dry vegetation, minimize the use of ammunition containing steel and avoid shooting under hot, dry and windy conditions.Additional information about BLM Spokane District and seasonal fire regulations, as well as the Official Fire Restrictions Order, is available at: http://www.blm.gov/or/districts/spokane/index.php-BLM-The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.
I need to get out and do some shooting! No way that I will be cold boring steel at 1500 yards but id like to do a lot more shooting in the 700-1000 yard range. I wanted i to a rich at 1000 with my 6.5-284 yesterday. Just confirming drops in my ballistic program.
Too bad the gunwerks post got deleted, but maybe many didnt notice that MOST of the mouthy ones were shortening the distance? By saying " well at 1350 yds, or at 1200 yds blah blah blah". Were talking 1500 yds, dif shot each time, dif location? They all Talk a good talk Well lets see some action.

The Gunwerks thread was locked, not deleted. This thread is about shooting targets at long distance, and unless members continue to thread jack it I suspect we will see some results once the project is underway.
Did some shooting tonight and trying to load video but can not seem to load a mp4? file to large. ideas?
We have bullet drop figured out for a .32 win at 562 yards! Ask any getsum crew and they know!! Ha ha cause we had alot of laughs!!
