Bored in Salem

[Camelfilter]

ARPC just got lights in a couple N range bays. Unsure what the regs are. Re; "weirdos in Salem"...well it IS the state legislature there...

Nice!

Miss shooting at ARPC.

Very relaxed, yet sensible & safe range rules.

Used to practice night vision on the main rifle range, in the winter, and pistol mounted lights in pistol bays. Would also set up portable LED flood lights for regular pistol some times in a bay. They also had coin/quarter operated lights in a few bays as well. IIRC.

Warning: if night vision is still an OK on the main range, saw a freaking HUGE mountain lion crossing out by the 200'yd line one of our last trips. Makes sense as deer would come down commonly at dusk. So use caution there & likely also at the far end mixed use "bay".

No outdoor range down here allows non-Leo use after legal sunset.

Sigh...

If you think the people in Salem are weird, stay out of Portland and Eugene. Salem is conservative compared to those two places.

Wow.

Last time I was there a family of Nutria gathered just in front of the 50 yard markers. The little bastards just sat there watching people shoot, completely unfazed as bullets whizzed over their heads. Never seen any large predators though, that's really something..

Hello and welcome. Lots of great folks here. Hope you find what you're looking for. I'm not much help for what you're looking for in Salem. But if you want a really awesome place to eat, especially breakfast, check out Word of Mouth Bistro. FANTASTIC food!! Be prepared for a LONG wait on the weekends.

Welcome to NWFA. The gun grabbers are on the march here in Oregon. Get your Oregon Concealed Handgun License as soon as possible so you don't get jammed up transporting firearms or loaded magazines Concealed Handgun License Information

John,

Sorry to hear that. I was born & raised in Salem, and quite frankly the place is a cultural desert.

As for hunting, Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife has created as many barriers to hunting as they possibly can, and then every once in a while we see news reports that ODFW is lamenting the fact that fewer and fewer people are hunting!

Although I am native son of this state, I have grown to despise it, and all its uber-liberal nut jobs.

I've been going through the hunting guides today. Can they make it any more complicated?

I for one am glad that Oregon doesn't have a feral hog problem, no matter how much fun it might be.

I am pretty sure for the pheasant hunt you need your license and the $17 "Fee Pheasant Permit"

Welcome to NWFA. I don't travel to Salem often, but when I do, most certainly not bored as we party pretty hard there. No idea on a churches or places to hunt up that way, but good luck on your search. I'm sure someone can help.
