Seems like death by 1000 cuts. First they make a range, then the restrict shooting to just the range, then they close down the range for safety issues, fire hazard, ect… and presto. No more shooting in national forests. Maybe I need a tinfoil hat, but damn government and politicians make me nervous when they propose anything these days. Trust is gone, long gone. Especially when talking Utah politicians. Is there any examples of such a public range setup working anywhere that has a large population of shooters? The description makes it sound as if it’s a unmanned range facility.
Hopefully the trash, targets and empty brass/ shotshells gets picked upIts only a matter of timeAccess will cost due to slobs
There were public ranges in some of the NF in the south. Pretty scary experience the time I went, and left before even shooting. I almost thought I was dreaming. People on the range setting up targets while others were still shooting. Guys in cars driving back and forth behind the benches shooting over the guys at the benches. Working on drive by deer hunting techniques. Guys trying to skeet shoot apples with deer rifles. I'm sure crazier things happened when I wasn't there.
