Thread: Certification of a private range

So some of your comments have got me thinking ahead so I have done some measuring on google maps. This is the down range view over the roof of the shed I built.

The nearest dwelling directly down range is 835 metres away on the other side of the hill which at the peak directly down range is at least 80 metres vertical elevation higher than the shed roof. The nearest dwelling inside 30 degrees to the right of down range is 558 metres away on the other side of the hill with the ridge line over 100 metres vertical elevation higher than the roof of the shed. The nearest dwelling inside of 30 degrees to the left of down range is one kilometre away on the other side of the hill with the ridge line over 100 metres vertical elevation higher than the roof of the shed.

The most common calibres used on the range would be .22LR and 12g. As my daughter is now in the Army, 38 special (which is what she uses in her lever action) is seldom used down there now.
