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).
