Something tells me those folks don't jump to the left
Background info for those like me who didn't know what was going on
Admittedly - having private land to enjoy firearms on is not that bad in of itself. I also enjoy sighting in rifles on my dad's farmland, using a hill with no neighbors as a backdrop for a 300 yard target.
I sure wouldn't consider 170 acres very sufficient though. Your range should really have a minimum of 2x your bullet's effective distance behind your expected target just for safety, let alone dissipating the deafening noise. For typical hunting rifles, effective distance can be 500-600 yards. And that means for "hunting" where you won't always be in the optimal location for a safe backdrop, you need 400-500 acres, not 171. That's why most rifle ranges are out in buttfuck nowhere without neighbors, and pistol ranges are inside concrete buildings. Cuz firearm enjoyers who aren't morons or affluenza-afflicted actually care.
You always need a safe backdrop, even when hunting. If you haven’t got one, don’t shoot. 600 yards is about a tenth of what is seen as the potentially dangerous range around here. Hunting classes for obtaining a license set it in the ballpark of roughly 5km provided you’d shoot upwards in a 45° angle. Either you take precautions such as hunting stands with appropriate shooting distances, guaranteeing a safe backdrop via the ground or by having massive earth walls in the back.
171acres for $665k in upstate NY? I know it's just a preserve for hunting but seems cheap.
Toucha toucha toucha touch me…
Plucka-plucka-plucka-pluck me! I wanna be a birdy! Take me, shake me, then bake me! Chicken of the night!
I wonder if they have a telephone.
