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.

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.

Is your house directly behind the portion of your fence line where he shoots, and was there before he set up the range?

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.

And you think you do not make them nervous now?!?!

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.

What's a "military grade weapon" anyway?..........

Dan, I assume that you check for accumulation of unburned powder in the baffle. (Just trying to be helpful.)
