What about a go find me page? Not sure how they work, but people get donations for all kinds of things
I just made a small odd number test donation, is there a way for us to keep track of donation total in real time? I see the total at the donation page has been at $635 since yesterday so I am guessing that is not a live total.Help us improve North Fork Wolf Creek Shooting Lanes! Tillamook State Forest.

Totally cool, boss! Love it! I 'C' the notification! Thank you.Cogs, I posted a bumpstock for sale this morning and promised the proceeds from the sale would be donated to TNL for the lanes 1 and 4 restoration project. WTS OR - Slide Fire Bump Stock Left Hand Model SSAR-15 $100
Believe it or not, it sold this morning so $100 is coming your way shortly. Also I stopped by my favorite LGS (Sunset Firearms) this morning and told him about the wolf creek restoration project. He is familiar with TNL and said he would be happy to put up a flier in his shop. So feel free to reach out to Gordon at Sunset Firearms when you have fliers available.

Are you guys able to provide receipts for donations so that donors who itemize can get the write off on their taxes. I have receipts from paypal but not sure that would be what the irs would like to see?
excellent thanks. I am going to try a give a little more before the end of the year, can I just wait until then or would you like the request sent after each donation?Yes, we can and will provide receipts upon request. Just send me a note by email to [email protected] and I'll send one back.
Thanks again,

Then will be fine. I have records of who and when they donated so I can put all on one receipt.excellent thanks. I am going to try a give a little more before the end of the year, can I just wait until then or would you like the request sent after each donation?
Awesome, I will email you at the end of the year.Then will be fine. I have records of who and when they donated so I can put all on one receipt.
Good suggestion, Mike. That might take some convincing to ODF, but, we'll bring it up a couple times. Thanks!A little wider parking would help where you park parallel to the road as well a few wide spots to turn around with out having to go all the way to the end. If it didn't add to the cost that would be good.
I like the individual lanes and would like to see a couple of more for at least pistol shooting. It's not that I'm totally anti-social but like today, I enjoyed shooting with my wife and being able to go over some techniques and suggestions without someone next to us with a big boomer shooting away as fast as they could... and there were some big guns there being shot not to mention I was shooting my .357 for a bit, which is pretty loud itself. It was nice to have the separation from other shooters, especially since we didn't know them and didn't know how well they practiced safe shooting.

Since I posted this to our Blog, it's been shared several times! Lots of interest! I've also sent the PDF file, with links to the blog, website and the video, to the Washington State Public Lands Commissioner, Hilary Franz, and the WDFW director, to let them know there IS a solution to the problems with recreational shooting. I asked it they would consider doing this on state lands in WA. We'll see if they respond.Not Your Typical Shooting Range! The Story of Wolf Creek Lanes.

Wonders never cease! They responded! I received a phone call from DNR's Deputy Supervisor of Region Operations, who is Senior Strategic Advisor to the Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz, and got invited to the table with several other DNR officials in Olympia. They would like to discuss the efforts we've made and get a feel for what we have found that works and doesn't work. He really likes what we've done with North Fork Wolf Creek Lanes and would like to discuss that in more depth. He also said he like the model of Trash No Land and would like to work with us state wide to help promote responsible shooting!
I can't promise anything will come about from this, but because it's for the good of the shooting sports and could benefit thousands around the Northwest, I'll do it and give it shot D Yes, pun intended).
So, you can see that our efforts, here in Tillamook State Forest, have an effect on the entire Northwest. They are watching to see if the shooting community steps up to support this kind of a place to shoot. That's why I believe we should show a significant effort in our fundraiser by the general public. It's more of a fundraiser for the good of recreational shooting in the entire Northwest!
Let's sweeten the deal! As we get to Spring, @Reno911, @Rem700..300 , @Kristina , @citizen a and I are planning to apply for a grant from the Pittman-Robertson Act to make up the difference for what we need. In addition, we'll include a request for funds to get the next improved shooting lane done. At this point, ODF would like to move forward on improving another place, just up the road from the Wolf Creek Lanes, where we'll have a few hundred yards to shoot at permanently installed steel targets. Wouldn't that be nice not to have to take targets with you? Just show up, shoot, pick up your brass and leave! NICE! It could get done by the end of next summer. This plan is not set in stone, yet, but it's the direction we and ODF would like to go. If we're going to get one grant, let's make it enough to kill two birds!
So, help the whole Northwest by donating to this project! I think we can make a difference for thousands of people, starting right here in good 'ol Tillamook Forest!
Thanks all,
Bill, Bryan, Aaron, Craig & Kristina
