Where can i go shooting today for free

[Amanda beck20]

I'm in Tacoma. Looking to go out today and do a little shooting. I dont want to pay amd I dont want to go to a range. Preferably the woods would be perfect. Where is a good place? I'm reading online that green water is closed for shooting. That's the only place I know. Any suggestions ?

Just about everywhere, pay or not, is shut down. State land, national forests, etc.

Book a flight to Chicago Midway on Southwest. Be sure to check your firearms.
Head for Cabrini Green or where ever you hear the sound of gunfire. You should be good to go.

Chicago, Baltimore, Philly?

I also am in this camp; I have been stuck at home for too long and am feeling pew pew withdrawls

All the free stuff is on state land so unless you know a private party with a private range, you're SOL.

As an aside, the staying at home thing was fine for me up until the moment I heard that DNR lands closed. Then it all began to feel claustrophobic. *grrrr*

Check your facts. National forest is not shut down. Only improved areas such as campgrounds parking lots and trailheads

My mistake, misread this:

Coronavirus: Oregon, Washington close all national forest sites, trails across 24M acres

The closures cover around 24 million acres of forest, mountains and coast spread across 17 national forests.

BTW, I'm sorry for whatever you're going through.

So if I read that all correctly, DNR lands and any 'developed' US Forestry campgrounds and other 'developed' spots are closed. It seems possible that a person could find a random forest service road and drive on it for a half our to an 'undeveloped' mystery spot and it wouldn't technically be against the noted list of not allowed, but I can guess someone would be just as likely to get a talking to for that.

I write that as someone who has serious pew withdrawls...

No, thats exactly it. You can still drive up random usfs roads, pull over at a wide spot and hike, hunt, shoot whatever. Its just campgrounds, psrking lits, trailheads, improved recreation sites thst are closed. Pew to your hearts content.

I have been shooting weekly on FS and even had the law wheel in last time out. I think he just wanted to check to make sure of the safety of my setup as he didn't even stop to talk.
