   State land target practice

   Hi all,
   I'k fairly new to gun ownership and have been shooting at the ranges effectually my area for nearly a year, simply nigh every weekend. I have heard you could target shoot on State land and was curious about that. Where can y'all become to do that? Is there sure state properties yous can? I have a CPL, and am mostly looking for someplace to shoot a pistol, although I did merely buy a Mosin Nagant.

   This comes up all the time around here your argument is not completely accurate. Not all Country land is legal to target shoot. There are threads on this here. And also the rules are quite easy to find. Instead of typing all this out once again. I will tell you that State recreation areas that allow hunting are not legal to target shoot period. I'll give you lot an example- Highland lake recreation surface area yep legal to hunt simply Non legal to target shoot.
   Oak Grove state game expanse legal to chase and legal to target shoot.
   Not all Country land is treated the aforementioned in regards to target shooting.
