BLM-managed lands are open to shooting

[GC7]

All our new West coast friends are gonna have to get used to the lack of public land in OK.

I saw “BLM-managed lands are open to shooting” and read
“Black-Lives-Matter-managed lands are open to shooting”,
made me wonder if we were talking about Chicago or something!

This is true.

At the wildlife department shooting ranges you can only shoot PAPER and CLAY.
As in shooting clays.

No steel targets. No fruit or tin cans. No cardboard boxes.
Nothing but paper and shooting clays.

Take tape or a staple gun to hang the paper target.

I get 30+ MPG in my corolla and the 60 mile drive from Yukon to Lexington WMA shooting range does not hurt me so bad.
It is still cheaper than going to Canadian ranges which is a 12 mile drive.

Yea it sucks. But WA was closing a lot of land for shooting. All the state DNR land was closed to shooting one summer due to "fire danger" and never rep. Federal land had a bunch of closures due to being close to roads, then under BHO they added a bunch of "trailheads" where shooting areas use to be, it is illegal to shoot near a trailhead. County gravel pits all got closed.

I do miss Capitol Forrest. It was bats*** like shooting at TVs and abandoned cars while dudes are jumping motorcycles. They still have a "designated" pits some places

All of them are more than one h from me
Thanks for the help, it looks like I'll stick with my local commercial ranges for now.

There is, or at least was, a shooting range at Canton Lake WMA. Just north of Yukon a bit. May be closer than Lexington.

 

[swampratt]

Canton range is a little over 85 miles from Yukon and 1.5 hours to get there.
But I hear it has a 200 yard range

Canadian is gonna' be a lot closer to him than Canton. I haven't been to Canton in quite a few years but, last I knew, the range was just 100 yards.

The REAL fun was at the upper pit! Remember that spot out 90 west at the top of the pass? Can't remember the name, but is one of the ones they closed down to turn it into a trailhead. What bull **** that was.
