So I got tired of the local range officers at the public shooting enforcing range rules that cause them to do just short of stop and frisk. There's also no ranges beyond a 100 yards.
So I did it....I bought 47 acres that are going to allow me to shoot rapid fire, murder renegade pumpkins and shoot a 1000 meters.
I'm going to put a steel barn on it to store my RV (small 29' class a), an ATV or UTV...not sure which. I'll also need some sort of bushhog/tractor.
Plan is to build a couple or three covered shooting benches, Bushhog and flatten out shooting and target areas, use the ATV or UTV to run around in and kick back and relax in the RV.
I may put in one of those prefab garden sheds they have at Home Depot and turn it into a protected 4 season shooting shack.
The property is about an hours and 20 minutes from home, which is just close enough. I retired about 3 years ago and I like to spend some time doing what I like to do, the way I like to do it.
I may have just become the crazy old curmudgeon.
