Responsible Recreation
We want to use this page to encourage responsible recreation and show that you can have a lot of fun outdoors and not leave outdoor recreation and wilderness areas full of trash when you leave.
Recreational Target Shooting
We remove a lot of trash being left behind from recreational target shooters and we are on a mission to promote responsible target shooting that is fun and leaves no trash behind.
Our friends at MR TARGET offer great options for responsible target shooting and they regularly offer big discounts and raffle prizes to volunteers who attend our cleanup events.
MR TARGET offers some of the finest reactive shooting targets on the market. Choose from their selection of Reactive Targets, Dueling Trees, Animal Targets, Poppers, Steel Plates, or submit your own image to transform it into a steel target!
Their targets are used on Private and Local Ranges, by Combat and Tactical Trainers, FFL Holders for Demo Shoots, Professional Marksmen, Hunters, Competitive Shooters, and the Weekend Warrior. We purchased steal targets from MR TARGET and couldn’t be happier, we have a lot of fun and cleanup is a breeze.
Please check out MR TARGET for a super fun and clean way to target shoot without leaving any trash behind.
