Thread: Shooting places still accessible?

Just want to say "thanks" to Mark and Becky for showing us the Harris Park shooting area. Nice place for sure! We had a good time, blew up some milk jugs and then policed up our trash and left. It was a great day for shooting! We'll have to go up there again.

I was at the one by Buffalo Creek last weekend. The Harris Park area is about 20-25 minutes from my house…I don’t think you will have a problem with mud/snow. However, it is not the best place to go without a truck/SUV. There is one area where a stream crosses the road; right after the stream the road goes up at a 30 degree angle so a car can bottom out.
