looking for a free place to shoot

[xd ED]

Looking over the DNR website re things to do in state forests, most list hunting; nothing I read mentioned target shooting.

I don't doubt it's legal, only saying it's not mentioned. Further, given David's description, I don't think that's a place I'd go to shoot, or do anything else. I wouldn't want to be the guy hiking through the woods beyond the range when the first shots of the day were fired. Then might be a bit late to learn there's a range nearby.

Another place to consider is the Hinckley conservation club. It is about 5 miles east of the casino just off of 35. 15 bucks a year and usually nobody there. That is my goto spot. 100 yard with a covered shoot house.

It can be just over 1 hour depending on traffic and you can drop the wife off to gamble your cash away.

You can shoot for free @ BPR as my guest. 50 and 75 foot handgun, 46 Yd indoor hi-energy centerfire, Plus you dont have to clean up! Ol'Roger sweeps the floors after you gone. Also any BLM property, as like near Cable, Wi

$85.00 plus service hours, initiation is another $75.00

Not bad...how far do they push the envelope in winter?

365 days a year you can shoot at OGC.
I've been a member there for 9 years, and it is full of a great people, great facilities and one excellent picnic every summer.

Exactly why I'm looking for a field to shoot at.

Targets are more fun than fields. Smaller shot groups.
