Title: Long range practice?
Post by: spoonman 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.

The range on Lewis no longer allows magnum rifles.

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

That place is too crowded.

Post by: slm9s on July 15, 2016, 07:13:47 AM: 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...

Post by: VortekNW on July 26, 2016, 09:14:55 PM: +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.
