Can you target shoot on public game lands? I'm new to bow hunting and would like to get in some practice shooting from a climber.
You can, but do not take any broadheads with you. I asked this specific question on facebook to NCWRC. Here is their answer;
Where do yo live you can't shoot a bow?

I'm near Crossroads Cary. I've shot at First Flight up in north Raleigh, but was looking for somewhere to shoot from a climber. Is there anywhere else in Raleigh where it's safe to shoot?
In the Croatan there is no target shooting whatsoever. I emailed the NCWRC and they "encouraged" no hunting with 1/2 mile of any recreation area (picnic area, trails, etc)

I would imagine it is because many areas on Butner and Jordan are so close to the nearby houses on one side and water on the other.
I kept that message from NCWRC just in case a game warden wanted to get testy about it. I would encourage others to know the law referenced above as well.
Now, let's go do some roving and stumping! Deer season is nearing!!
Just remember that all target shooting is now prohibited on GL's located within a certain distance of a NCWRC range. Now that Holly Shelter has a range all target shooting outside of the the range complex is prohibited with a certain distance of this GL. I need to find the reg and make sure.
Here are all of the NCAC rules pertaining to GL's. Check the listed GL and it will tell you if target shooting is prohibited.

This thread is about target shooting using a bow. The game lands that list "target shooting is prohibited" is prohibiting the shooting of firearms, not bows.
