how can this be done?

Allium · Mar 10, 2009

I like shooting, I like camping, also jeeping but thats besides the point. Over the past year or 2 I've gotten a half a dozen, dozen or so people at work interested in learning to shoot. Ive taken a few to the range. But what I would really rather do is get the families together for a campout once the weather gets warmer. A place where we can camp, have a makeshift range with a just couple lanes so that during the day kids could plink, parents could try something heavier then at night shut down drain a few cans for tomorrows targets.

None of us have a half a mountain in WV to do it, hell if we did I'd be the first there and last to leave. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

One of my bosses has a cabin up in WV that he's been saying we need to come out and ride at (dirtbikes) but I don't think that would be an option. I'd love to see some ideas like this as I love all of the above but haven't really been able to connect them all together yet.

Not sure you can find anything exactly like that, but Green Ridge is gorgeous and has a range.

Two suggestions.

If you go out as far as Garrett County, the Savage Siver State Park is a nice place. Camping, scenery...lots of good stuff. Shooting range is well maintained:

Second suggestion: (I fixed it for you):

That's what I do, cept it's my mountain :lol2:

Problem is being 350 miles away :envy:

In all seriousness, you are SOL unless you go camping NEAR a public range, find someone with land you can borrow, or pay a range out in the middle of no where for a sleep over (some will do it). I would look into a sleep-over range (if the Boy Scouts can do it, why can't you?) or look into camping near a range out of state. Say PA, WV, or VA.
