Tahuya State Forest:
DNR has identified two alternative target shooting areas:
USFS 2480 Rd (a); 47.572702, -123.082293
USFS 2480 Rd (b); 47.539307, -123.096457

Curious - Anybody been there? Any photos of the place?

Thanks!

I haven't been there but have heard that shooters who live closer to Tahuya do not want to drive all that way to West of Eldon. I think it would be great to do some dispersed shooting lane improvements there for those who live on that side, but still I think some improvements could, and should, be done in the Tahuya.

I understand those locations, West of Eldon, are actually on State Land, even though they are on Federal forest roads.

Take a day trip and find out! Always nice to cruise a forest road and do some shooting site hunting!

I drove up to USFS 2480 Rd (a); 47.572702, -123.082293 today to check it out. It seems like a good place, but i didn't spent a lot of time looking as there were some guys shooting there and I did not want to bug them.

Good to hear you respect others recreation.

By the look of that place on Google Earth, it has some potential for a good improvement (spin around and swoop down to get a good idea of the landscape). I see they are currently are using one lane, yet it could be expanded to the hillside just left of that lane. I see a parking area, a nice wide firing line, a good sized pistol range, a longer wide rifle range perhaps some permanent steel targets embedded in the far hillside... hmmm...

For now, I hope it stays clean and presentable. If DNR wants to do improvements out here, it could turn out to be a good thing!

CLEANUP TAHUYA STATE FOREST JUNE 25TH!

This is at the site that has still been open to target shooting... NE Belfair Tahuya Rd & NE Elfandahl Pass Rd. Typically referred to as the Stimpson Creek Shooting Site.

The cleanup was inspired by a local shooter and long time advocate for adding shooting lanes in the Tahuya, Shane M, (not sure if he's on this forum), who runs a Facebook Group called "Target Shooting on DNR Land in Mason/Kitsap Counties". DNR is onboard with this and providing a dumpster and disposal cost. I'm putting up the free lunch, and we're getting donations from gun & outdoor stores for the free raffle prizes.

Questions can be posted here, or email to me, Bill Cogley, at: bill@trashnoland.org.

Come help save our places to shoot!

How far is parking? I have a bad foot and can’t walk a lot. I’m in Kitsap and probably should just drive out and find out.

It's 166 yards to the shooting site. The path is not too bad, but no fun to walk it with a bum foot. However, you could ride in the truck that is hauling the trash out. We have an okay to take in 1 vehicle.

Now if you're good at grilling burgers and dogs, I could use some help on the grill!

I should also add, you could ride with a crew that goes up to other areas and help there. Some of it is getting the trash along the roadway and there are a couple dump spots nearby.
