Caldwell County, southern part, that would put his range at about 350-480 ft elevation.
It will happen. Somebody will forget to change the dope on their rifle and send a round down range like artillery or skipping off the ground.

15' berms? Baffles framing the target area? That would cost me tens of thousands of dollars to prevent an extremely unlikely event. I am not going to build an anal retentive Fuddified range that only allows you to shoot slow fire off the bench through a tiny hole in some damn baffles. Thats absolutely useless and downright boring. This is not a public range with millions of rounds shot every year, this is my own private range with only a fraction of that volume.
Um, no. 15' berms, baffles, etc. are not there for the purpose of only allowing slow fire from bench rifles. The safety measures are in place to help compensate for shooting mishaps.
As for the cost, doubling the height of your berm or brining it to 15 feet should not cost 1000s of dollars. You may opt not to go with baffles, but a proper backstop is an important consideration that should not be overlooked.
However thats the price I'm willing to pay for the freedom to do as I damn well please without any damn BS from anyone else.
If you do have a mishap and somebody does get harmed or killed down range because you didn't come up with proper safety measures, I am glad to know that you will be in a world of hurt, but that is a price you are willing to pay for the freedom, never mind what it costs the person you shot. They may pay with their lives for your freedom.

The Salt Lick over between Wimberly and Dripping Springs used to be good, but all the yuppie bastards from California
However thats the price I'm willing to pay for the freedom to do as I damn well please without any damn BS from anyone else.
