    Nelson/Castlegar shooting spots

    I'm new to the Nelson/Castlegar area. Is there a well known shooting spot around here or is the Rod & Gun Club the best bet? I normally like to stick to the bush to avoid the crowds, and wouldnt mind finding something a bit closer than the official range. Ive done a couple drives and have found a lot of private locked gates restricting access to crown. I'm not a yahoo, I'm safe and I clean up after myself.
    Thanks for any tips.

    You could drive 1km past the range and contribute to that godawful mess but since it sounds like you are tidier than that crowd just pick a spot anywhere.
    I'm going to the dogs.

    How far do you want to test?
    What Clint mentioned is only upto 100 yards area...

    Eventually I'd like to find a spot to shoot further than 100, but I can make 100 work until I find a better spot. I like sighting in at 200 but a couple inches high at 100 will do the trick.

    A range would be best for you

    Trail range is in METERS: 100, 200, 300.

    So you can actually see what the rifle does upto 330 yards.
