Default Shooting in Uwharrie National Forest
Some friends and I are maybe going to Uwharrie for a hiking trip. Anyone know the legality of this activity? Is it only allowed for hunting? Anyone? I cant find regulation anywhere (for now I'm taking this as a good sign).

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Not sure about your area, but the national forests in my area only permit shooting in designated areas (rifle range) unless you're hunting.

The is a rifle range that can be used for $2 a day. I believe it is a 100 yard range and I have shot there before.
I believe there are parts that are a public hunting area also.
There are great camping areas at Badin Lake also.

I miss Uwharrie, it was a great place to hang out for the weekend. I thought the range has been closed though, I know it was closed for awhile pending some sort of decision. I guess too many people were leaving trash on the range!

It's been closed since 2010 i believe. Stray 9mm nicked a 4x4 rider taking a piss. Bullet to the knee.
