Company that would build underground Shooting lane on private property?

this isnt exactly true. you arent thinking about...your safety. nobody shooting around you. not having to take down or set up targets, etc. I have an 800 meter range out my back door, AR500 steel plates at every 100 meters and a bunch at 100. You cant drive off road let alone leave targets at the Pawnee. I can run my 4wheeler out, paint targets, etc. So there are some advantages.

I doubt any contractor would do this without a permit of some sort. (you may find the right person). I cant image the county would let you put in an underground range. Sure you can shoot on your property above ground, but when you start wanting to do permanent things, they want public hearings, safety studies, environmental impact reports, noise mitigation, traffic and who knows what else.

That being said you could easily bury a 3-4 foot diameter galvanized culvert and dig an underground block lined structure to shoot from. I think larue had something like that. Im sure that isnt what you are wanting though. Good luck though if you can swing it, I would be nice. For me, I dont mind the elements and couldnt ever afford a proper underground structure.

I can't possibly imagine any convenience factor of having to purchase the property vs the spot I have at pawnee now. I drive off road no problem, super flat, elevated ground for bavk stop, no major roads, hidden from the road, 1000 yard range easy. Now if I lived out there sure it would be useful. To buy a piece that I have to drive to just like I do to the public land I shoot on? What's the point? I'd have a hard time finding a better piece AND I would have to pay for it.

I thought you were talking about buying and moving to it. no buying the land just to shoot on wouldnt be good.

Haha gotcha. Your comment makes sense now since there was that confusion.
