Where do you shoot your rifle?

[sonogy47]

I shoot my rifles outdoors at my family property in a rural area. My local range is indoor and it costs $10 for 30 minutes with a rifle. That is expensive. I don't like the indoor range because it is too noisy and I'm paranoid about people who might not know what they are doing. Also the gun smoke is really thick and tough to breathe.

Family range when they let me, and a $3 a day range when I can.

Private FOP range, 300yards all to myself

 

[jackdanson]

A local club. 600 yard range, yay. Rarely crowded, usually only one or two other people who mind there own beeswax.

Totally worth the cost.

Just outside my yard gate using my woodpile as a backstop. or out in the pasture. Or down on the river.

 

[SHvar]

A private club that I belong to($30 a year covers both my wife and I), the range owned by the department I work for, on rare occasion at a free public range(which I dont like), and on private property several times, in the mountains on hikes, etc.

My back yard. Just farm field and no houses in line of fire for miles.

Big gravel pit on my familys land. I can shoot out to 300 yards safely into a large gravel bank.

I used to use the free public range, but range rats and idiots ruined it for me. Now I shoot on private property. An additional 10 minutes to the drive, but oh so worth it.

[PurdueRifleman2008]

I have a back yard that I can shoot from 0-1,000yds.

Please do yourself a favor and don't shoot at zero yards.

 

[Wyld_Cat]

Private property until my license comes through then i will also be shooting at a local range.

Backyard when at the farm. I got plenty of room (up to 500 yards). If not at the farm, I got to Bill's Gun Shop in Circle Pines MN. $15 a lane for unlimited time, $10 for a second shooter, rifle, pistol, shotgun, NFA-they don't care. But it's only 50 yards. It is nice for zeroing in rifles and what not, especially in winter!

Off of the front portch if it's raining, the driveway if it's not.

I am a member of two ranges now near me... one is $60 a year for the first year, and if you help at 10 events it is $45 for the following year... the otherone is only $50 a year.

The club that charges $60 a year has 5 pistol benches at 25 yards and 2 benches at 100 yards. The other club just has 50 and 100 yard rifle but they host rifle shoots each weekend. They have a lot of black powder shoots in the winter which is fun.

Both memberships allow all access to the facilities anytime.

I also shoot at a local military owned pit/range but with a deployment coming, and summer being here that range is in use a lot.

It is funny to sit and hear what it must sound like in a war zone... full auto, large caliber rifles and some sort of ordinance... maybe a 40mm grenade or something.

+1 to Bill's!

Private property -- I will not join a range to do there 'work days'!

 

[Sav .250]

Local Gun club/range.

 

[tju1973]

The range I use (Garland Texas Public Gun Range) costs $10 for a lifetime membership, and $10 a day to shoot-- you can go in the am and shoot, then we go eat and chill, then go back in the pm with the $10 covering unlimited visits in the day. It has a skeet/trap range with about 10(?) stations, a rifle range with about 15 or so stations (100 yd max) and a pistol range with about 15 stations or so. They closed both Collin Co ranges, and the nearest indoor range is too high for me..

I like the Garland range, and the price is good-- just wish I lived back on the farm where it was always free, and no drive was involved..
