The only outdoor range in the area is about $30 for a day. I want land so I can have this type of fun. OP, if you don't mind, what state do you live in?

Western Nebraska.

Heres my stressful commute.

Looks great, it's actually pretty much what I'd like. Some land and space.

Yeah, it is nice. Hell of a change from the city thats for sure. Sometimes I wish someone would flip me off as I drive by, in a weird way I miss that......

Actually backsplash is a huge risk when shooting steel. Always ALWAYS wear eye protection when shooting steel. The problem isnt so much the lead as it just mushrooms out. The problem is the damn copper jacket.

You can shoot pistols at 5 to 10 yards on steel and not worry too much. Rifle I wouldnt shoot at less than 75 yards or so. When I first got my night vision a few friends and I were out shooting his steel on the pistol range and I took a copper jacket in my stomach. It fucking hurt and left one hell of a big welt with a bit of blood.

I attended a local SASS shoot as a observer and got hit in the chest with something. It was like winter time so I had a heavier coat on and it must not have been traveling fast, but I felt it hit.
