    Well, go back, look at the picture in my previous post and read the second paragraph under
    "IT IS PROHIBTED TO:"


    Why the resistance? Am I missing something? Is it Big Brother syndrome? I don't think its ever been legal to litter (why would you want to anyway?) in a National Forest... shooting or during any activity

    Yep, I'm guilty too... I'll take a pot shot at something I didn't bring, but I do have a paper target stand and a metal swinging target that I normally shoot at.

    I hauled the largest part of the monitor out along with a giant garbage bag of stuff another shooter must have picked up. Thanks to those who help... Left Hand seems to be policing it self better than I can ever remember...

    Has nothing to do with wanting to shoot things other than card board, but more with perpetuating the fear that you'll be persecuted for something you didn't do. How is anything supposed to stand without proof is all I'm saying.

    You should be allowed to shoot fertalizer and packets of plant food up there.

    Here is my brush with the law concerning this... I was at the North Site and there was maybe three groups of people shooting in different areas. A Boulder County Sheriff walked up to each group and asked what, specifically, they were shooting at. As I was being questioned, another group walked over to see what was up. The Sheriff then asked them what they where shooting at. They were shooting at a gallon milk carton across the range that they said was there when they arrived. He said they were in violation and gave them a verbal warning and asked that they take the carton with them when they left.

    So I guess the Forest Service nipped it in the bud by the rule of only discharging a firearm at an approved target. Discharge a firearm at a can, bottle, dirt backstop without a target is verboten... I wonder if I'm in violation if I miss my metal swinging target and hit dirt behind it. I'm in trouble!!
