Has anyone been to the capital forest triangle pit recently.
Just heard of it and would like to go check it out. Open? Busy?

That's a heck of a drive from Covington. Discovery Pass is required and parking sucks. It's busy on the weekends when it isn't raining.

Wear body armor, keep your head on a swivel.

Last time I was there was in 2011. I'm sure it's worse now.

This place is always open. It is not a real gun range. It is an old gravel pit that was shut down and people go out and shoot there for fun. BE CAREFUL!!!!!!
Lots of idiots out there even dirt bikers not knowing there is a gun range there and coming over the back side of the hill.

Don't get me wrong its not a bad place if you are smart know your surroundings and PAY ATTENTION!!!

I would be checking with the Fire Marshals Office because it is probably closed right now.

I was there on Sunday. I make it a habit of getting there when they open and being ready to go as quick as possible. That way I can get in some shooting before it gets crowded and the idiots show up. They have several signs posted near the gates saying that around the end of August the hours will change from 9-5 to 10:30-5.

Bummer about the hours changing. I like to go out early and get out before the Keystone light boys show up. I thought I would try it again and the first time back I met a cool guy and we hung out and shot together. Next time I went down it was a shit show as I walked up through the gates and quickly got out of there as I wasn't wearing full body armor. :runforthehills:

Last I was at the triangle pit, a dude and two girls were throwing clay pigeons. Girl #1 flung a clay pigeon way too low and way too short, to the left across the pit. As they were standing on the very right end of the pit, we were flagged by girl #2 with her shotgun as she swept it across the line chasing the low-flying pigeon, certain I was about to get my guts blown out as I heard an "oh nooo D:" and saw that thing pointed directly at me. I was only 20-30 feet from her.

It sounds like I'm not the only one whose had some kind of experience at the triangle pit. Cannot recommend.
