I've owned a home near Phoenicia for some time now and would like to find a public place to shoot so I can stop leaning on friends who own significant parcels of land in isolated areas when I want to put holes in paper with friends. (I do intend to join one or two of the nearby ranges, but most don't allow guests, and I usually shoot with a guest or two)
I'm fairly certain most of the land (including the land immediately behind my house) is DEC land but I'm having a hell of a hard time navigating the rules, and the land near me is typically too close too homes, even outside of 500 feet, given the report of .308s.
I'd prefer to stick to the rules carefully and avoid any awkward conversations or situations with the authorities...does anyone know the best practices for ensuring public (state or DEC) is permitted to paper shoot on? Any good spots around Hunter/Tannersville/Shandaken/Phoenicia? If reluctant to share spots publicly, private messages are welcome, I adhere to "leave it cleaner than you found it" policy.
