Hi:
Yes, it is legal to use state lands for target practice. Where we sometimes have problems is where a de-facto firing range becomes established in an inappropriate location on state lands which interferes with other users, management objectives, bothers nearby neighbors, and/or becomes trashed due to overuse.
However, if one uses common sense, picks anb appropriate location, is safe about it, and picks up after themselves, then there should be no problems. Although it is not required, you may want to check with our district office that is responsible for managing the state lands that you are interested in using. They may be able to give you some advise as to where best to go, etc. Let me know what state lands you are interested in and I can provide a district contact.
Thanks for asking!
Mike Fraysier
ANR Lands Director
