Where do you shoot?

Off my deck targets out to 300yds

[Stumpkiller]

I walk down into the woods a few hundred yards for the benefit or my next-door neighbors and the family across the road.

There is a clear-cut 100 yard straghtaway there. If I really want to play I go another couple hundred yards to the powerline that cuts across the back of my woods. I can do 600 yards there if I feel ambitious enough to walk targets out. Usually that is at previously placed rocks.

I have shot off the back deck many times - but I usually reserve that for varmints and farm pests rather than casual shooting of center-fires.


My "pistol range" is a creek that runs across the property and I get down in the "gully" and pop away at targets of opportunity. Gongs, an old propane tank, cans, etc.

Up here in the PNW I have a spot about 25 minutes from my house where some old logging roads get me back far enough that I can reach 450 yards, If I drive about 1.5 hours south I have access to my actual shooting range (membership) that has a pistol range, and a rifle range out to 200 yards. From there I can also venture up to another old logging road and can reach right out to just short of 1000 yards. That spot is a little tricky too, with strange winds that wrap around the top of the landing and also blows straight up the canyon from left to right. I don't get out to that one very often, but it has improved my wind reading a bit.
