Title: Target Shooting on Public Lands
Post by: Jonesin61 on December 18, 2022, 07:43:54 PM: We are looking for areas that are open to target shooting. As you are all aware so many of these areas are now gated and posted that it is almost impossible to find anywhere safe to go. The two best areas near me are both posted now. I am at the Kitsap/Mason County line and have a friend in the Everett area. Does anyone know how to find areas that are open?

Thanks in advance!
