Chelan County has issued a Stage 2 fire restriction which among other things bans target shooting outside of a gun range. The restriction reads as follows:

“With the new ban, Stage 2 fire restrictions are in place across the county’s unincorporated areas, both in the valley and mountain areas. Stage 2 restrictions also ban target shooting outside of a gun range. Already in place, the burning of yard debris is banned, motorists are not allowed to drive off a county road and the use of exploding targets and incendiary ammunition is prohibited.”

As a reminder, ammunition restrictions at our range also include steel core, steel penetrating and magnetic ammunition. Magnets are at the range for testing ammunition before shooting. If we continue to follow these restrictions, the chance of fire should be reduced.
