Reasons to support Recreational Shooting and Trash No Land.

The Current State of Recreational Shooting on Public Lands:

• Trash accumulation at dispersed shooting sites on public lands.  (Lack of stewardship & dumping).
• Shooters unaware of rules and shooting unlawfully.  (Unsafe conditions & violations of law).
• Targets being placed on trees, stumps and downed logs.  (Potential fire hazards).
• Household refuse and appliances being used as targets.  (Wrong choice of targets).
• Shooting in unsafe locations and directions.  (Public safety issues).

Proposed by Trash No Land and our supporters:

• Cleanups.  Official and unofficial.  Promote continuous encouragement for ongoing stewardship efforts.
• Education.  Promote knowledge of rules via word of mouth, social media, publications, classes & events.
• Awareness.  Inform of issues, conditions, consequences and improvements.
• Liaison.  Close communication with forest officials to address and improve conditions on behalf of the recreational shooting community.
• Improvements.  Develop desirable dispersed shooting lanes incorporating fire prevention, public and personal safety, meets rules requirements and ease of cleaning while being environmentally responsible.
• Maintenance.  Routine repair and upkeep of improved shooting sites and signage.

Trash No Land’s vision for recreational shooting:

• A cleaner forest.
• Wide spread knowledge of rules.
• Adherence to rules.
• Proper target placement.
• Proper target selection.
• Quality dispersed shooting sites.
• Assistance to forest officials.
