We have the freedom to shoot on public land. Most land management agencies have information about recreational target shooting posted on their web sites and many public land places allow it. Be sure to check before going shooting. Along with that freedom, however, comes responsibility. Like any other form of recreational activity, all visitors share a basic set of common ethics and etiquette of responsibility for their kind of recreational activity.
Those of us who partake in recreational shooting on public land, have our own set of unique responsibilities as well. While enjoying your day of recreation, remember, you are representing the shooting community. (And we all want to see that community represented well).
We all need to grab hold of, cling to, adopt, or claim as our own, a
few basic Codes of Conduct. Add your own unique style, techniques and
ethics, but at least get the basics down pat.
Enjoy your freedom and help us keep it free!
