The info about the shooting closure is not so readily available but is stated after all the camp fire bans (end of the 2nd paragraph).

"Additionally, target shooting is temporarily prohibited because of the risk of wildfire.

These restrictions will begin Thursday, July 1 on the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area and Friday, July 2 on both the Gifford Pinchot and Mt. Hood National Forests."

I suspected this would happen earlier than last year. Now keep an eye out for State Forests to follow suit! And check your local forest website or call them, to be sure!

⁠Best to be safe than sorry.

Yep they got a taste of being able to shutt things down when it got hot a few years ago and then would not lift it after it cooled down so there’s that.
Be responsible folks.

Okanoggin-Wenatchee is still allowing target shooting just no explosive targets but they did stop firewood cutting and now no camp fires only pressurized fuels. Good thing I have a battery chain saw and a 100 foot cord for my recipricating saw so I can continue Firewise activities.
