Shooting Sports

In the absence of a traditional shooting range, locals use an Old Quarry in the National Forest just beyond the Sportsmen’s Paradise West Interior Gate, up White Drive; just 1.5 miles from the home on the opposite side of the river.

Shooters keep safety first, being sure of the backdrop and cleaning up (policing brass & cases).  Some residents have battery powered remote control clay target throwers, others use traditional paper targets, auto reset or tumbling targets such as ground pounders.
