Have you been up Thompson Mountain Range? Or are you looking for crownland to shoot on?

Thompson Mountain Range is definitely right up your alley. They have a rifle range there, however you have to be a member to use it. Cost of membership is cheap compared to The Range at Langley or DVC. DM me if you want more info
