also baker draw is right around there if you didn't know.
Thanks guys
Spot 2 was closed by the forest service as of last winter. Chained gate and posted closing. Haven't been by in a few months.
Edit: The designated area is nice when its not that busy.
I went to the Baker Draw shooting area today with my family. Unfortunately we got there at 10:30am and it was already hot. There was a US Forest Service ranger there to give us the once over. He also mentioned that there are MANY other places to shoot that are unregulated. He was going so fast I couldn't keep up. Had the whole 50 yard pit to ourselves.
Important point of notice: If you're in the right hand lane of the 50 yard pit make sure you ask for a cold range on the 25 yard pistol pit before you check your targets at the full 50 years as I saw more than a few ricochets hit on my side of the birm. With a little hindsight I would chose either the Pistol pit or the 100 yard as the 50 yard need a bulldozer to fill the gap.
Felt safe the whole time, aside from the pistol pit issue but the pistol shooters didn't show up until a few minutes before we were done. I didn't count when there but the web site says 30 lanes 26 benches. The bench chair swivels for LH or RH shooters.
Next time anyone plans on heading there please let me know. My advice is get there at the ass crack of dawn and enjoy before anyone else gets there.
We went out to the range and the ranger was a total dick head and went around and took everyones license plate numbers down. Have been out there many times and never got hassled by the ranger before.
I'm going to try to leave Eldo by 5:30am and if the four winds help I'll be there setting up by 7am Friday morning. I need to dial in my savage and then enjoy the pistol pit. Also bringing the sks just for a really loud bang. Driving a white 4Runner 6' red hair and beard.
Could not have picked a better morning to shoot at Baker Draw. I got there at 7:30am. Cool and windy. Before I could get my target set up I noticed another car pulling in. Lucky for me he was responsible and safe. By the time I left at 9:15am there were 10 people. 6 in the 50 yard and 2 couples in the pit.
Anyone have any idea what the improvements are going to be?
They just put a permanent restroom out there.
