The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Where to legally shoot in Washington State

Unstructured shooting in WA is something I have watched evolving for 50 years.

Where every it is ok, so many shoot there that it becomes not ok there.

So there is an ever expanding ring that moves further and further away.

To the North and South there is high population density along I-5.
To the West there is Puget Sound.

To the East there are National Forests, but the mountains go straight up.

Even if it is legal to shoot on my property, the neighbors will complain about noise.

The timber companies that allow hunting, often do not allow target practice.

Lately I have been driving 900 miles to where I can set up and shoot at up to 600 yards with no on bothering me.

I reload in the vehicle

I put a target on a hill

I climb up on top of a vehicle and start shooting.

Then I drive to the target.
