Well, he is in Kansas, so the only problem with long range shooting is finding a natural backstop!So who wants to join me in hating Chuck?

Sure smells like a woke managed-by-government facility. Sorry to hear such stories. Damn shame sensible enthusiasts like yourself can't find a place to just have fun, Makes me appreciate rural Kansas. For me there is an old quarry in the middle of some public hunting land just 10 minutes from my house, but most people don't go there because a few yahoos made it questionable. Instead I drive 30 minutes to a private membership range where I've been shooting rifles and pistols and having great fun for the last 20 years; all outdoors. There is a new indoor pistol range just 10 minutes away, but I don't really care for indoor ranges. But, I could go there for a small fee if I have a need. Hang in there and keep up the search.I moved from a very rural area to a semi-rural area. In this new location, we have a state run range, but the rules are :
A bunch of straight up Elmer Fudd BS. There's another private range up here and I know someone who uses it, but COVID-19 / the riots resulted in a ton of new firearms owners showing up at that range and doing so much unsafe stuff they basically closed registration until next January.
- You are not allowed to have more than 3 bullets in any detachable magazine at a time.
- You must wait 3 seconds between each shot
- You cannot use targets that look like people
The only other range I know of is 45 minutes away (across the highway) and it's only 100 yards.
Where do you shoot at? How far do you drive to get to your range? Do you like it?
My goal is to get enough property that I can eventually just shoot there.
But a lot of grass to mow! I was thinking of buying a land as private range but every time I think of mowing the grass, I gave up. How do you guys manage the grass? I know you have deer.
To be (potentially) fair, those operators may be constrained by Insurance requirements, that they have (inexpertly) 'doubled down' upon.and the only range around is run by Fudds with asinine rules.
