I've shot on ranges like that. The Harris, MN range (the only official 1000 yard range in the state) is like that; you have to shut down progressively more ranges to shoot at 600 and then 1000 yards.
Couldn't you tell them to just leave the in between ranges open and you would be REAL careful shooting at 300?
I could but I figure I'd be just a little more than a tad disconcerted by the sound of the shot coming overhead from the trap range.
I am loving this thread. The guns and rifles that some of the members are posting in this thread are stunning. I don't have a rifle of my own but i intend on getting a 308 and a .22 for spot shooting...
I have to wait till 2011 before i can legally purchase a rifle and ammo . Dam australian laws Got my rifle permit sitting by my side. I do sport shooting at my school with the 22's mainly Also open eyepiece sights not like the proper commando ones which are perfecto and require no skill...
My best score >< 90/100
Keep it up guys
PS Do you have any suggestions on what ear muffs and gloves i should get for my sport shooting. I'm currently lying down while shooting and using a strap to support the rifles but the rifle is slipping in the old school gloves.... Ideas?
Most towns have ordinances against discharging firearms within city limits. Also, be sure it's safe to shoot in your backyard. A bullet from a handgun will easily travel a mile before falling to the ground.
Two suggestions if you want to buy new.
S&W 10-shot Model 617 in .22
S&W Model 686. This is .357 but shoot some .38 wadcutters
I live on a forty acre farm - with all farm land around - I would also set up some kind of range to shoot at to prevent anything like that. We shoot my dad's rifles and fireworks off pretty regularly. Thanks for the advice, I will look into that.
Looking to purchase my first handgun - mainly for sport (shooting in my back yard). What should I be looking for?
As had been said, most cities, towns and townships ban the discharge of firearms within their boundaries and many classify airguns as firearms for the purposes of their ordinances. If you can shoot legally where you live, I would suggest a good quality .22LR semiautomatic pistol with at least 6 inches of barrel. You can practice all your skills, ammo is cheap (and not reloadable) and the noise is low if you have any neighbors who might be alramed. In any case, such a .22LR is one of your basic five sporting firearms and you will keep it forever. Mine is an old Belgian Browning Challenger.

Good shooting keep it up! I shot competitive 4-position, small bore in high school and some college. Trying to pick it up again.
Equipment wise I picked up a Kurt Thune glove and an AHG Anshutz jacket from Neal Johnson. I think he is also the outfitter for the US Olympic Shooting team.
