I am looking on starting up a shooting range for training purposes.
Range is not initially intended as a public access shooting facility, however depending on insurance and other factors that may become an option. Have worked at / managed several ranges over the years and it may be time to give it a go. Things I have started the ball rolling on: 1.) contacted insurance carriers to discuss insurance issues 2.) ordered NRA range development guide. 3.) shopping for appropriate real estate. Has anyone any guides / thoughts / experience on how to deal with the other issues? Things like 1.) Noise issues 2.) Lead contamination of ground water 3.) Zoning / Land Use Permits 4.) Proper safe zones, impact areas, distance from public rds Anything else I am missing? I am really interested in hearing from those who have been involved in the process to see how much I am really biting off here. Thanks for any input |
