[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 998450, member: 385"] Missed a couple steps the NRA Range Manual would mention. I am assuming that your land is out in the country, not in a city limits and not subject to use zoning. 1A: Check for downrange safety fan. How big depends on what you'll shoot. 1B: Check for neighbors. If you have a number of neighbors downrange or close to you, they may not be happy about a new range cropping up. Depending on wind, humidity and time of day, a high power rifle can be heard 3-4 miles away. 5A: Insure that dirt pile is sharp, near vertical faced, on the impact side. Further make sure it is rock-free. Rocks cause ricochets. 7A: Consider inviting your neighbors over to your range. If they use it, they're less likely to complain about it. [/QUOTE]
