Welcome to WaGuns, Malachi!
While it may seem that you're "paying through the nose" at a local range, I think it's worth it. Given the area where most of us live, running out to the forest isn't practical for most of us. I personally think it's worth it to be a member of a range, and be able to go anytime you want. Even if you just go as a non-member and pay $10-15, you'll generally save at least that much because you're not driving an hour or more to get out to the boonies.
But with that said . . . you asked for boonies, so I'll answer that question.
My suggestion for you would be the Greenwater area.
Do this:
- Go to the top of the WaGuns web page (the full, non-mobile page)
- Click on the "MAPS Shooting Areas" box in the center, between the WaGuns logo and the top ad banner
- At the top right corner of the map that opens, click the square that will allow you to "View larger map"
- In the map window that opens, click the search magnifying glass in the upper left corner, and search for Greenwater.
Greenwater is in the national forest. There's a large shooting area right where the map indicates; you probably won't be alone there ("peace and quiet" is damned hard to find). Bring your own target, be safe, and please clean up any garbage including shot-up targets. You get extra points if you take a trash bag or two, and haul out other people's garbage too . . . we regularly do cleanups in those area, because of the assholes that our public lands like the public dump.
The shooting areas map will obviously show you other spots as well, so you can check those out too.
