I got a range in my backyard, out to 150 yds. I built the first one on the mountain and 4 neighbors followed suit. Around here we hear shootin' almost daily, from my range or a mile away at one of the neighbors. We practice a lot ... and we're getting to be pretty good shots.
I tell the spousal unit it's the sound of freedom ... and it doesn't bother me at all. Firearms are a way of life here, and I feel blessed to be able to do as much shootin' as I please.
It wasn't always that way. When I lived on pavement I had to drive miles to a range or out to the sticks where I could practice. Now I live in the sticks and couldn't be happier.
Whenever I go to the range, I always call my wife and hold the cell up for her to hear what I categorize as the Sounds of Freedom. Unfortunately, don't have range in my yard especially if you don't consider the occasional squirrel that wonders in much to the chagrin of my neighbors.
