Simple concept:
My wife and I are going to be looking for a new "forever" home within the next year. Top on my list of must haves is the ability to shoot on my property. What are some things I need to be aware of? I assume not in city limits, but are there other things such as county guidelines, distance from certain structures or highways. Any experience with this concept?
Thanks

) but anyway. The thing I looked for was land that was slopping at a downward angle were Id build my range. The place we bought fit that bill nicely as were I built my shooting benches to were I built the backstop is a nice down grade so my bullet is going toward the ground even though it hits the backstop well before it would ever hit the ground. Another thing is be prepared to spend a few bucks an build a real backstop. One thing it will be safer for everyone involved an it will keep LEO off your back if you have a "Proper" backstop and if there should be someone to complain about your shooting (I contacted my local Sheriffs dtp to find out what "proper" backstop entailed. Also like mentioned make sure there is no structure behind your range, mine has nothing behind it for better than a mile an half an even then I shoot in a direction that the round would end up in a HUGE natural hill side if for some random act it should even get that far. Also if you find a place talk with the neighbors an see if they would have a problem with you shooting if there are any close neighbors to the potential property you would be interested. That way you know if there could be a potential hassle on your hands with that. Hope this helps OP and be safe and good luck
