Legal to shoot?

[okmedic]

I'm in Yukon but a friend lives between 29th and 44th on S Frisco Rd on about 10 acres. He thinks that it's ok to shoot in the area but I'm not 100% sure. And without calling city hall or the County Sheriff, would anyone here have any idea? Nothing long range, just a few targets at about 25 yards.

Thanks.

I had some different friends that owned 10 acres in different city limits and houses were pretty far apart.. they all had ranges set up.. some were as much as 200 yards long. It was in the city limits but pretty far out.
Neighbors never complained.. places were heavily wooded.
We hunted deer there with rifles.. but use common sense and be aware of what is behind your target.

I think it is the neighbors that would be more of a concern.
Be aware of ricochets also.. set it up so there are ZERO of those.

If memory serves me correctly, that area is within Okc limits and it would be illegal by city ordinance.

Every city ordinance is different i know here it states any thing that propels a projectile is illegal to use inside city limits but they kinda over look the pellet, bows and slingshots unless someone complains. But then it also is at the discretion of the officer that is called to the scene.

Don't ask, don't tell.

And frankly it's absurd how far out OKC city limits extend. . .

To the OP, I'm in the same boat. Bought 10 acres near T-Bird that is not cleared and wanting to shoot. Think it would be unless neighbors call and complain.

Yeah, I see the OKC City Limit sign long before I get close to the city proper when driving from Tulsa. There is a ton of land out there with nothing around it.

Buy a suppressor that will take awhile to get, then build a berm with targets into a hole in the berm that won't allow a ricochet and your gold. Your neighbors will never know.

I have my own pistol range berm at the house. I don't need to worry about any neighbors complaining.
I actually got the idea of building a berm where a hole is in the berm to stop ricochets from watching a video of european ranges where the population doesn't allow one single issue of a round leaving the range.
One of the ranges in Switzerland uses concrete tubes that rifle shooters must shoot from as the targets are on the other side of a major highway. I think someone posted a video of it on this forum actually.
There is a range in Nebraska that does a similar thing I've heard of. Makes it impossible to put a round other than where the rounds are designed to land.
