Still closed.
You'll have to find a developed range somewhere that is still running.
The only one with a day fee that I know of is English Pit in East Vancouver.
100 yards max
Call ahead to make sure they're open.

Well dang was hoping to try the TSO this week but hopefully it will be open next week.

Beaver Creek armory works too, nearer to Beaverton. Threat Dynamics in Sherwood as well

I think it was closed for like two weeks last year.

It looks like the fire risk has abated slightly. Updated today the 17th, the main Forest Blog page suggests all the roads are re-open though, so perhaps NFWC is open.

According to the target shooting page, Browns Camp is open again, but N Fork Wolf Creek is still closed because the fire gates are still closed off Hwy 26, and says it would last until the gates are open. This was an Aug 13th update, so it could be out of date.

So, if the gate is open, then it looks like we are OK to go back. I may try to head there later today and report back; but if anyone else does please let us know!

Anyone know if Wolf Creek range will be open on Sunday?

Unfortunately it's all up to the ODFW, but the cooler weather is going to help. Best thing to do is watch the ODFW Blog:

Here's an option for Sunday. Come out to Sauvie Island and help us do a cleanup. OHA Columbia County and Trash No Land. Bring shotgun, shells and clays for some shooting afterwards. Thrower if you have one.

Info for shooting on public lands...

I'll post if there is anything new. Credit for this goes to my wife, she saw it first!

Thanks for the option but the drive to Wolf Creek already wipes out most of my gas tank, can't afford to travel farther than that.

If Wolf Creek is closed, Sauvie Island may be closer (from Beaverton). I imagine Cornelius Pass Rd would be the shortest route to Hwy 30. Then a short jog down to the Island bridge.

 

[F2CMaDMaXX]

Oh yeah, way shorter to Sauvies and way less fuel used generally.

Kinda tempting for the clays tbh.....

 

[Cogs]

I plan to use the old trap range we helped OHA rebuild last year. I picked up a box of clays. Need to get some steel shot shells (can't use lead shot out there).

Wish I would have looked on here before hand... drove a hour to find it closed.... super bummed. Considering how the weather had been compared to every other time I've been here I did not expect this.
