    I cheat,, I built an honest to gosh gun range over the years on my property. We hold USPSA matches there,, but it's not open to the public on any other days. I have 6 bays,, and one bench area. So,,, my range is a few hundred yards from my house.

    Several years ago I was looking for some property to buy. Someone asked me what qualifications I had to have. I said just two, I have to be able to pee off the front porch and shoot my guns in the yard. It took awhile but I finally found it.
    Opened the back door yesterday morning, sat down on the step to take a rest off my knees and killed a yote about 200 yds out in the hayfield.
    I'd already had my morning pee though!
    Some people live and learn but I mostly just live

    20 minutes for me. I only shoot there during the week though. Too many people on the weekends.

    Too far (~60 mi.) But it's public and free just go early on a week day and you pretty much have it all to yourself.

    The gun club is 3 miles from my office.

    I regularly shoot on my lunch hour.

    Public land is about 3 miles, maybe 150yds max. Range (500yds) is about 10 miles

    It's extremely bad manners to bring politics into a non-political discussion.

    Since you insist, I'll reply that I'm voting for the President out of disgust for political threads on gun boards. Every one I read makes me more certain.

    My range is across the 520 bridge, it's usually about 20 minutes.

    According to Mapquest I am 1200 miles or so from where I will be living in a few months. They have a pretty good range there I will probably be joining. 21 hours drive time. Better not forget my ammo!
    At one with the gun.
