If you are planning to have range members or allow the public to use it, get yourself this book: http://www.nrahq.org/shootingrange/sourcebook.asp (or better yet, take the class that is offered by the NRA on the subject). Also, be aware that it won't be an inexpensive experience! Many folks think that the cost of the land is going to be their biggest expense when, in reality, it is not.
Best luck with your new range!!
Sign me up for one private membership to your private range. [Awesom]
personal use only , no "public" use at all ever . family and close friends occasionally but for the most part just me practicing .Quote:

I would assume that your in-laws have tractors. Scrape down the sight and build up berms at least 10 foot for a 250 yard range. Build some simple moveable benches and you are good to go. Have fun Al and don't forget your friends. Where is the property?
