Hi guys,
This site has come up in pretty much every search I've done...figured I'd make an account and join the party!
We used to live down in Putnam county, sandwiched between a deserted state park and a huge farm....got pretty spoiled being able to shoot in my back yard! Anyhow, we just moved up to the Albany area and are now looking for places to shoot. We aren't particularly interested in clubs.
I spoke with DEC and they confirmed that shooting is allowed in state forests as long as posted regulations are followed. They did, however, suggest that I "just find an old quarry" as they weren't able to recommend a spot. I'm also coming up kind of empty on Google Earth, and have tried asking around at the various local outfitters with no success ("somewhere off exit17" "blah blah rod and gun" "
And so it is that I come to you, seeking recommendations for where the family can go shoot on public land. We always clean up, and are always responsible.
any friendly suggestions? I'll owe you a beer
