 | Every place I've ever lived you just went to a gravel pit or quarry to
shoot if you lived in town or your back yard if you lived in the country
and had a good backstop like a steep hill.
Guess I've just been lucky.

Where I live, the closest thing to a "hill" in the county, steep or
otherwise, is the BFI Landfill! Anything a bullet is likely to "stop"
against for 100 miles in any direction is man-made! That's why we build
rifle ranges with GOOD back-srops.

| I definitely feel lucky then. I live in a little town in central Nevada.
Once you step outside of the town, there are nothing but miles and miles of
nothing but miles and miles. Finding a place to shoot is not too much of a
problem. Hope I can stay here for a long time.

Those day's are rapidly disappearing throughout this country thanks to
urban sprawl.I once would road side plink where now is a Super Walmart
back up by a sub development and flanked by an industrial park.Even
outdoor ranges are feeling the wrath
