Anyone from the Springfield area do any shooting in the Mark Twain Forrest? I went poking around the forest today and didn't find any places to shoot other than one small impromptu range near the north end.

The MTNF is all over southern Missouri.

None of it particularly close to Springfield.

Your going to need to clarify where your talking about.

Mostly looking at the area between Highways W and 125, south of the Sparta area.

Yesterday I went south from Ozark on Highway W to Cooper Road W-23 and found a trail off it, with a small messy range at the end.
Looking on the map it looks like there might be some options near Bar-K Wrangler Campsite. Also to the west just north and south of Pine ridge on H, if I can shoot on the area cleared for power lines.

Here's an odd map of shooting ranges. Page 2 brings up more ranges not on page 1.

I shoot in that general area all the time. It is where i set up my steel targets. Just off of Hwy H. I wouldn't shoot in that power break. The last time I was there part of it was marked as private property, which strikes me as odd.

I have in the past but not for probably 10 years.  Used to shoot ridge to ridge off Glade Top Trail.  These days I don't always shoot, but when I do, I prefer Pleasant Hope.
Edit:  Probably 15 or more years ago based on the vehicle I was driving at the time.
