    Alcohol at a range? Id never go back. Stone cold sober people are stupid enough handling weapons.

      I don’t go back, and I have no more outdoor ranges to go to that aren’t too far away.

      I used to go to a childhood friends house but after I moved we kinda drifted apart so it’s weird to ask to use their backyard range.

      I would love to have the property to put in at least a 100m lane and a large back stop to stop ricochets and the like. Then I don’t have to go somewhere people will whinge when I shoot more than twice a minute, and I’m not at risk of an ND coming my way.

        ND

        North Dakota?

        In my area (Utah), BLM land is everywhere, and there’s plenty of unused state land an hour or so away. So we can just drive a bit and a flattish area with a natural backstop, and set up some comes or something so people can see the range.

        Is that not an option in your area?

          Apologies.

          As deegeese said, Negligent Discharge.

          My bad, I tend to think people have more knowledge of obscure things than is normal, I guess.

          And I’m in Ohio, so while I technically could find some bit of land to shoot on, there’s forests, fields, and cities. Anything in between is private property.

          I’m exaggerating a bit, but that’s more or less how it feels.
