Public places to target shoot Something to do

I know this is a question asked every so often here, but I think it is ok to ask again as some BLM areas get shut down and even gated from time-to-time.

I'm looking for spots less than 45 minutes drive from Eugene where I can legally set up targets and practice shooting. It seems unnecessarily difficult to find this information through BLM resources.

Thanks in advance, and know that I take the responsibility of gun ownership very seriously and always practice proper shooting ethics, including clean up of the site after use.

^^ This. There is plenty of BLM land with nice little dead-ends in the Shotgun Creek area, just be a bro & pick up your stuff afterwards please, not enough folks do :( Emerald Empire is out that way as well so even if you don't find a good enough spot, you can hit Emerald on the way back.
