[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3684779, member: 40561"] ...but it's in Nebraska. Tomorrow starts the move to Nebraska to somewhat take over my great-grandparents homestead. Seems all my life I've spent about 7-8 years at each place I've lived and that number has hit in Oklahoma. I came in 2014 and have pretty well enjoyed my time here and met some cool people. Even though I've never lived there, I've always considered Nebraska "home" since it's been the only constant in my life so its only fitting I give it a whirl. Nebraska will make state #6 that I've lived in. Now, about the "range". I'll be able to shoot pistols inside the property. I'll have to set up a berm for more of a permanent range but for temporary setup I've always shot off of the back of the property into a friends field. I'd like to set up more steels that I don't feel obligated to take down every night so I'll work on that in the spring. What I will be able to continue doing is set up "long range" off the back of the property. I can have targets at about 100 yards and 500 yards. It's shooting across a crop so when its soybean year I should be able to shoot year-round if I want, and when corn is in I'll obviously have to stop when the corn gets tall until harvest. It'll be nice to develop some loads and try them on the spot. No more fighting goons at USSA or the long drive there. I think my gun buying will slow down significantly since I'll be able to enjoy what I have more and that'll probably keep me occupied in the hobby. Even if I don't add any guns to the collection, I think it's safe to say I have all my bases covered. It's going to be a huge change of pace for sure. I'm smack between two towns...the one north of me has a population of 1500 and the one south has population of 750. Closest Walmart is 45 minutes away and the last mile to get to the house is gravel. I hope the winter is mild as this first one I'll still be in my SRT8 Magnum which is far from ideal for rural snow conditions. I'll work on getting a truck after I get settled in.
