What's the coolest range or spot you've shot at?

What's the best place you've ever shot and what made it so good?

Not only ever shot at but still do! Nice spot close to home. Lots of trees for shade in the summer. Very quiet and rarely (if ever) is there anyone else ever shooting here.

Very relaxing area. I have shared it with many!

As far as a FORMAL range, COSSA East of Bend is the best range I have ever personally shot at, but in my 'life' of shooting I can probably count the number of actual 'ranges' I have shot at on my two hands as the majority of my shooting has always been outdoors.

Probably Izaak Walton locally for me. They will let you draw from the holster there and have some moving targets.

There was a place here in Oregon not too far away. A logging road that went several miles into the woods and it was paved. Many great spots to pull off and shoot. It was private land but all were allowed to drive there and shoot. One day while driving up there I noticed a no shooting sign, then another. Turns out a group of people, a family I was told was up there shooting and had a domestic fight and began shooting at each other. One had to be flown out to the hospital in a helicopter. No one died I was told, but after that the company that owned the land made it a no shooting area. Seems so many of the outdoor spots we used to be able to shoot at are no longer available.

Where was this specifically and how long ago?

Where was this specifically and how long ago?

In the Marcola area. It was a long time ago. But at the time I had to start looking for a place to shoot within driving distance. I never found any and started going to the local indoor range to shoot. My grandfather once owned some land that was a great place to shoot, but it was sold after he was gone. There are some that are just to far away to be practical.

I know where you are talking about. Havent been up there in at least 20 years.
