Hey everyone..
Since I'm not too familiar with the laws regarding this in Indiana (being from Florida), I thought I'd ask you all...
We have about 8 acres of land, 6 of which is wooded.
I'm in the country, but there's a little "apartment" complex (I guess you'd call it that - maybe 20 units) just to the north of the house. To the south, I have a neighbor as well, but I own the land pretty much all the way to his house.
Directly behind the house (west) is the bulk of the land, with a large creek running through it. On the other side of the creek is the wooded area.
I was thinking about going back there and clearing some room out and making my own little shooting range.
I have been told outside of the city limits I can pretty much shoot whatever/whenever/wherever. Does anyone know of any laws or rules?
Obviously common sense prevails; go back towards the back of the property, but there is already a HUGE bank back there for a backstop. It boils down to just clearing the room and spraying/killing the weeds for an area to call the "home range"
I'll probably call the sheriff and get something in writing so I know I'm good, just wanted to see what you guys think;
Thoughts?
Just to the left of this creek is all the wooded area:
And here is a picture of the wooded area:
