Range rules, or private property shootout?

[shibumiseeker]

I have my own range right next to the house. 50' pistol and 100 yard rifle with 25 and 50 yard distances marked. I haven't shot at a public range since I was a member of Sycamore Valley Gun Club when it was on Range Road in Bloomington.

We usually shoot at our conservation club, but I much prefer private property when I get the chance.

Private Property!

What do a lot of you shoot at? The air?

Of course. The air gets in the way of the bullet on its route to the target

I thought I had gotten my yayas out shooting at stuff years ago, then I got a .50bmg a few years ago and just had to shoot some stuff. I made a lot of gravel blowing up basketball sized rocks... Now I do both from time to time. I put stuff behind my target stand so I can both paper punch and see what rounds do on stuff. Last thing I shot was a boombox that had died.

Private property

Private Property. One of the main reasons i bought rural land. After dealing with unsafe shooters at public ranges i am more than happy shooting at my farm.

private. have a clay thrower set up on my fathers land in kentucky. had 5 ppl shooting 3 days after christmas. went through a crap load of ammo and targets.

I think it bears pointing out that shooting on private property doesn't mean operating without rules. Indeed, it gives one the ability to only shoot with people that will actually obey safety rules. At a public range, or even private club, we have no such surety.

I shoot at MCFG most of the time, during the week before noon its like I have my own private range

 

[jerp239]

Yup. That's the public range I ever shot at, about 96 or 97...

I prefer private property. Although the land I was shooting on is no longer available to me so I'm back to shooting at public ranges.

 

[WhitleyStu]

My backyard + 1 mile behind it...

 

[w_ADAM_d88]

I would prefer to shoot on private property, but I guess I havn't lived in Indiana long enough to meet someone with property to shoot on. Eigther that or I'm not hanging out at the right place with the right people. So I usually end up going up to Wilber Wright and shooting there.

I have my own range here on my property. About 20 steps from the front door.

 

[hc4sar]

Open patio door take 1 step close door open fire 100yds at that location. more yardage if we need or want it. i also belong to Deer Creek Conservation Club.

 

[Magnum314]

Definitely private property...mine! I have acreage to shoot rifle, handgun, and have a sporting clays set-up...love it!

 

[Blue Tile Spook]

St. Mary's Blue Creek Conservation Club range, Farmland Conservation Club range and family farm in Henry County.

Never have seen any unsafe firearm handling at FCC, most usually shoot by ourselves at SMBCCC and have finicky neighbors near the family farm that cause us some grief at times.

 

[nighthawk80]

I also prefer private land. But I can't always shoot on private land, so I also use public ranges.
If someone isn't safe, I'll let them know; or I'l just leave.
