I pretty much read up on the laws RE guns in AK, so I'm not real concerned about that. Besides I have a concealed carry permit that is recognized in AK anyway just in case.
Here's my deal. I'm likely coming up to AK in a month or so for work. Sounds like if it all goes smoothly I'll be rotating up there 2 weeks back home 4 weeks etc until maybe April-ish. I'll be going to Nikiski, but not sure where I'll be staying while I'm there. My questions are this: #1 where to buy ammo for target shooting while I'm there. I'll have a lot of down time in the area for evenings and weekends, so obviously I'll be looking to keep up my practice. Don't really want to bring a ton of ammo with me so I'd probably want to buy some while I'm there. I'll probably have time to go as far as Anchorage if needed, but closer is always better.
Second where is a good place to shoot? I prefer outdoors and I'm ok with driving into a forest area if needed. Can you just set up a target on the shore and shoot into the bays? How far away from towns do I need to be? Etc, etc. I found the range near Anchorage, and that's not too bad, but I'd like to find someplace closer to Nikiski, Kenai, Soldatna, etc.
Thanks.
