Misc Quick PSA for crown land shooters

With summer approaching, many of us are going to head out and start shooting on crown land again.

If you are going to your crown land spot, please clean up after yourselves. Don’t leave a mess behind.

Remember that it’s public land. We’re not the only ones who use it. The last thing we need is more complaints about the mess from shooters. That’s how no-shoot zones start.

You should always leave the spot in a better state than when you found it. Be respectful, and your shooting spot will stay open for longer.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

It just takes a bit of planning and consideration. Lay down a tarp as a base layer, setup your shooting stuff on top. It makes clean up a whole lot easier.

That's actually a really good idea. Never thought of that. Thank you. 

I am always very good about cleaning up after but it's a pain in the ass sometimes to get all the 22lr. A tarp or old sheet would make it much easier!

I wish I could take credit, but the old guys at my range showed me that one. We have really fine gravel at the shooting line and it sucked trying to dig them out of essentially kitty litter.
