    I'm suprised by rule #5, as I would think bow hunters would be pissed if someone was target shooting when it was bow season. That does come first right?

    Bow hunters have the small game hunters out there from Sept to March.
    Bow season is Oct 1rst to Jan 1rst except between November 15th to the 30th. bow is closed. The 5 day period before the firearm season is really designed for the firearm hunters. Its supposed to provide a period of quiet time before the firearm opener.

    As I said....

    Any state land that's open for shooting. Just take a target with you, make sure you have a safe backstop and then clean up after yourself.

    hehehehe...it's just in easy to understand terms. If it's ok to shoot there then set up a target, have a safe backstop and clean up your junk. I didn't need several pages/paragraphs to say it like the gov't....

    I was, there is more Federal land open to shooting than State Land by far, even though the OP didn't axe 'bout Fed land, so you's gotten me on that 1

    State land that is called State Hunting land or State Game Area is what you're looking for. The comments about Fed land also apply.

    That is not 100% true because there is state game land that is open for shooting game but not open for target practice. The state can restrict target shooting on hunting land by posting no target shooting signs.
