THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
i really want to get into this but the closest matches i have found are almost 5 hours from me. i have quite a few friends that want to join in. i have 153 acres of land. just wondered what it would take to hold my own. it doesnt have to be a national event or anything like that, just a weekend warrior playhouse.

i think insurance would probably be the most important thing to have coverage in case someone shoots their toes off.

I just built my own range too. I am still trying to figure out the insurance thing. Not just for the guy that shoots his toe off but for the bullet that goes over the berm and hits something its not supposed to.

Another important aspect to look at is stage design. Even if you are just holding a local match, you need to look at the areas you have available and design stages that are 1) safe, 2) not to burdensome to reset, and 3) fun.

You may also need to join forces with other shooters in your area so that you don't end up footing the bill for all of the steel, targets, etc.


Good Luck.
