Every local gun range in a 25 miles radius from my home is booked solid through the weekend. Might have to make a trip out on the boat this weekend.
Grin, 'bout the same here. I'm not going to fire on my property - no blank rounds. I can't fire into the landscape rocks, too dangerous. I've worked too damn hard coaxing my lawn back to life to shoot it - that would send mixed messages to the grass which seems to like to die off for no particular reason. ;-)
Freeper, boat, firearms..........sounds like tempting fate to me.
Ranges are great, but if they are booked, there are alternatives. Someone above suggests blanks (which are available and cheap). Someone else suggests a test fire into the dirt. Another suggests firing into a lake. Firing into just about any clear berm is safe. Anyone who’s a shooter knows what’s safe and what isn’t.
