Always tricky gettin thru the passes in those Florida mountain ranges
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

She has legitimate points, I'd be nervous too,
The noise, the safety issue, and her property value will take a serious hit.

Hard to argue that fact. Maybe for some.

No, there is a valley below. I live at the top of the mountain. I know of three places nearby that you would not survive if you took a fall from the top. Geographic features, not man made things. Life in the hills is grand. Keep it quiet, or else it will become a tourist attraction.

She has less than an acre, his backstop is by the line, inline with her house.
I picture a shooting bench about 150yd from my house, inline with my house. (Details arent clear)
And the guy is shooting a 50.
I guess I'm overcautious.
I saw a forensics show about an accidental shooting at a Texas range. Crazy chain of events led to a young man's death. A shooting range on a newly developed property, in a populated area isn't a great idea. This doesn't sound like "living in the country" to me. More like the latest development being built on the edge, with more to follow.

I don't see it as a safety issue, but rather a noise issue. There were a number of houses nearby. I'll shoot on my 10 acres in MS, but I want to open up dialogue with my neighbors so that if they are working shift work or are home under the weather that I am not disturbing them. Mississippi has a law that would allow local governments to restrict centerfire rifle discharge on on parcels of less than 40 acres. Very few have.

Peroxide eats brain cells! My neighbor has a 600 yard range that's (GASP!) pointed right at my line fence! Oh, the humanity! Jerry
Is your house directly behind the portion of your fence line where he shoots, and was there before he set up the range?

I guess I'm overcautious.
I am as well, and despite a plethora of buttheads in my neighborhood there are more than a few good souls that I do not wish to disturb. When I settled on the place I contemplated having an underground range of 100 yards with access from both ends for maintenance etc. The only reason I didn't do it was the idea was so strange to the contractors I discussed it with they could not wrap their cracker brains around it. Mostly they were not versed in the art of working underground with concrete and steel, ventilation and acoustic treatments. So I went another way. General practice limits high velocity ammo substantially, though it is used on occasion, both CF and RF. The line is 20 yards and 50 yards. Use your muffler or my box if you don't have one. For the most part the neighbors don't have a clue that I'm shooting. Could I legally sit down with my cannons and dragon slayers? Yep. Do I? Nope. There be another range a few miles away where I can use those toys without alienating the 'hood. Here in Florida we can do this on residential properties of 1 acre or larger, and those that do bear full liability for any harm done to adjoining properties, and that include plinking your neighbor. The layout shown in the video has the potential to be safe with a lot more work, but I'd not be using it until that work is done.
I am..........disturbed.

Both my neighbors ask if I mind if they do some shooting where the bullets will come on my ground. I tell them to have at it. You OK with through your house, too?

Legally, I can go outside a shoot a firearm anytime I want. But I rarely do. There's houses, cattle and horses within rifle range and even though I'm sure that I could do some shooting without harming anything,..I don't want to be "that guy" that keeps the neighbors nervous. And you think you do not make them nervous now?!?! Nah,.....I'm just that old guy over there. Nobody gives me a second thought and that's how I like it. Pffftttt you da bamboo killer B...

Looking at Google maps that range -or where it has been built and doesn't show yet - is really close to their house.
The man with the range is probably going to have some problems of his own creation, especially if he's shooting 50 BMG.

I would not want a new neighbor to build a shooting range that is lined up with my house, where if a bullet goes over the berm it might hit my house. It is dangerous and her property value will take a big hit.

I have a feeling if the guy dug a hole straight down a 100 yds deep they would still biotch.
