Title: Where to shoot BB gun around North Bend?
Post by: nw_bowhunter on December 21, 2015, 01:51:45 PM: Looking for a place to shoot BB gun near North bend area. Bought one for my son for Christmas and I know he will want to go out right away. Things have changed over the years and I just don't want there to be any issues.

Not sure it would be ok to shoot in our backyard to many houses, main streets, etc. I know as a young kid I would shoot my in the back yard but we lived in Fall City.

You can park on the right side of the road and access the power line on the right (west) side (it may be wet). You can probably set up some targets, cans, etc. right there and do a little shooting. Just be sure to clean up!

I used to shoot my bow there and never had any problems.
