[QUOTE="sesh, post: 1510070, member: 9014"] I have about 9 acres. I live outside city limits. I want to run the range from south to north, there is a tree line on the east and west sides of the field I want to use, it would probably give me 200+ yards. One problem is, beyond the tree line on the west side is a nice little upscale subdivision that borders my property, and they wouldn't be too far from the proposed range, approx 100 yards, but they certainly wouldn't be directly down range. I don't want to sound like a jerk but I don't care if they care about the noise, it would be private use only, family and friends, and it wouldn't be all the time. I'm in Rogers County, is there someone I need to contact, i.e. county commissioner, to find out if I'm okay to do this? If I am clear to do it, I'd like to have a nice big dirt berm for a backstop, anyone know anyone around the Owasso area that would be reasonable for moving some dirt? I've been debating digging a pond, would it be smart to just transport the dirt from a pond to create the back stop? What else am I missing? I know there's a lot of advice out there, let me have it. I know there's an NRA rangebook out there but do I really need to buy one? I'm not building a competition range, just want to create a place I can sight in my hunting rifles and shoot my pistols whenever I want. [/QUOTE]
