Anyone Bought Land for a Shooting Range?

how far away is your range from LA/OC?

7 hours

OP....

1st....5 acres is not even close to the space you will need for either hobby.
I would call 30-40 acres a minimum.

2nd.....I would be careful doing this in California....
And also investigate any county ordinances you may encounter.

3rd....if you do go through with it....look for land that is along boundaries with blm land, national forest, etc.

4th...if you start a non-profit "camping foundation", you can file for a 501c3 and write off quite a few things during you ownership of the land.
Then any investors into this will have the same benefits too.

Before i bought my 10 acres i shot on my friends 5 acre lot.
