[QUOTE="Red Delicious, post: 1323437, member: 85735"] That's where I'd like to head with this voyage of discovery. One of the commonly used shooting areas on this state land has been used for 35 or 40 years that is documented. At one time there were 6 or 7 concrete benches installed by a local Muzzle loader club. Over the past 10 or 15 years it has fallen into disrepair and people have chosen to go other places on the 115,000 acre tract of land. Unfortunately some shooters leave quite a mess behind. The end results is the State would like to get this thorn out of there side one way or another. What I'd like to see is the range repaired and maintained so people want to do most of their shooting at that location. That would allow some of us to occasionally go to outlying locations that represent shooting which more closely represents what we will encounter while deer and elk hunting. I'm thinking of shooting at inclinations rather then a nice flat area to the target. If I can find a study with the dispersion distances of the frags then I could propose Permanente steel targets be placed at several yardages with appropriate clear zones around them. I'm sure different clubs or individuals would sign up for maintenance of the targets. Others do so already for annual clean up of the general shooting area. This might be a valid study for target and bullet manufactures to invest in. What is the frag difference between a fixed target and a swinging target? Does bullet "A" frag more then bullet "B"? Thanks everyone for your input. Craig O. [/QUOTE]
