Do you guys think its safe to shoot here

[target64]

You could go out in the middle of the field and shoot towards your own house.

 

[Fathouse]

You didn't mention whether or not you like your neighbors...just sayin

I like some of them!

 

[Bounty Hunter]

No

 

[IndyGunworks]

No unless you built a SERIOS backstop

 

[Walter Zoomie]

No friggin' way if you're going to shoot with the land as pictured. Those houses on the other side of the field are much too close.

 

[ghitch75]

no you'll pepper those houses!!!!!!......

 

[Michiganmilitia]

No way man! .22 rounds have a range of a mile and a half an those houses are well under that range. Build a big burm so you are facing the woodsif it is pretty thick. .22 rounds have been known to bounce around a lot off of little rocks and things so keep that in mind even as you have it somewhat close to your own house.

 

[mrjarrell]

I say go for it. I also say to keep your lawyer on speed dial. You'll definitely need his services.


*Seriously. Build a backstop.

 

[2ADMNLOVER]

Shoot man shoot !

Just don't cry foul when your neighbors shoot back cause you shot their kids , pets , house , vehicles , etc .

OK , I'll be the dick here and ask WTF is going through your mind that you would even consider shooting like that ?

 

[exelh]

definately not

 

[TopDog]

I would not, it does not look safe. A back stop for sure. This situation reminds of the story, what was it a year ago. The guy shot a .45 ACP into the ground and it ricocheted hundreds of yards into his neighbors house killing the neighbor while he was lying in bed.

 

[ghitch75]

you would need a 50ft or higher back stop before i would shoot that way.....bullets can do weird things....

 

[deadeye]

if there arent houses behind the woods i would shoot in that direction. Get some sand bags or railroad ties to shoot into. Even with a backstop i wouldnt shoot in the general direction of the homes.

 

[762minigun]

Seriously? Really? Um.... no.

 

[esrice]

Looks ok to me!!

In all seriousness, I wouldn't shoot in its current condition. Too many variables. The purpose of a good backstop is to eliminate those variables and make for consistent containment of your rounds.

 

[Colt556]

Nope.

 

[patience0830]

ummmm

Nope.

I'd buy a range membership or make friends with someone who has some more rolling rural ground. I'd feel safe shooting a pellet gun into a box of newspapers but unless you're shooting suppressed you're definitely gonna get noise complaints. Even with .22lr. That's not even mentioning that the .22 is one richochet prone piece of lead.

 

[BlueEagle]

Definitely need a backstop or disposable neighbors.

But seriously, don't shoot there. If I see you on the news for this, I'm going to come find you and kick your butt.

This thread has been pretty close to unanimous so far....

 

[Fathouse]

I never said I was or have been shooting here. Nor do I plan on it now. Hense the reason for this thread. I could build a big backstop but I just don't think its worth the risk.

Atturberry is only 20 mins away, I have been goin there every weekend anyway, why stop now!

 

[Redskinsfan]

No.

As many have pointed out, you have no backstop. It is extremely hazardous to shoot there.
