Bring some toys for some fun & safe recreational shooting after the cleanup!

TARGET SHOOTERS ARRIVED… NO SHOTS FIRED!

Not one shot was fired today as target shooters converged on the 36 Pit in Mt Hood National Forest. They were too wet and too cold after spending 3 hours of cleaning up the pit. Their only thought was to get somewhere warm and dry out!

Close to 20 volunteers showed their appreciation today for the privilege of target shooting on public land. They came, in the face of the cold and wet weather, with good spirits and a willingness to do some good for the forest and for recreational target shooting. And that they did!

Lots of smiles and good feelings when they left. New friends and acquaintances were made. Law enforcement and forest officials were impressed.

Well done mates! Well done!

Here are some before, during and after photos:

Thank you to all who participated and all who helped with promotions and logistics!  Special thanks to Clackamas County Dump Stoppers, USFS and Clackamas County Sheriff’s Department!
