Darrington Washington DNR 435th Ave shooting pit

Awesome job! I'm a little surprised how much trash people leave out in woods, that's a good sized trailer.

That was a 14 foot dump trailer.
Last year we cleaned up two shooting pits about ten miles from this pit and we hauled out two 10 foot dump trailers and a 14 foot dump trailer of trash. Just over twelve tons of trash the dump fee for that clean up was well over $1,200.

I took my grandson shooting up to the same pit we cleaned up and some jerks shot a computer, a porcelain lamp and five gallon of shotgun hulls and other trash that I picked up today.

If you don't keep at it it will get trashed and shut down.

I did pick up twenty pounds of brass though.


My grandson got to shoot the Rossi 357 magnum and the ten inch stainless Ruger Mark 2


His Ruger Mark 2 target.


And Twenty-five rounds of 12 gauge at clay pigeons.
The shotgunonly hold four roundsof ammo. I hand toss the clay pigeons with a cheap Wally Worldplastichand thrower. He is averaging twenty birds out of 25. He was a natural at shooting clay pigeons.

We had another good weekend up to the Darrington 435th Ave pit. We got up there early Sunday morning, camped out down by the river, got up early and went back to the pit for another full day of shooting.
We met some new people there this weekend.
My grandson is a natural on the clay pigeons.
I have to go hit Walmart up for more 12 gauge shotgun shells.
Next weekend we'll camp up there again.
He shoots for a while then he will ride his mini-bike then shoot some more.
