Personal Underground Shooting Range

[Off the Roster]

It has similar requirements- noise, ventilation, and access in the rear.

you dont say...

I went to a shooting range in Phoenix/Scottsdale. It was cool. Select fire weapons in an underground range. Corrugated steel pipes 50m I think it was.

It was so awesome, I wanted to nut punch myself to make sure it was real.

I think I saw a movie where people get a permit to build a wine cellar or similar storage place then later on convert it to whatever that suits their need.

I think that the ventilation is one of the most important thing to consider. Maybe you can drop one of the containers into the ground with additional support on celing and walls.

I would imagine it would be tough to do in california with quakes and all.

Just an random thoughts.
Good luck.

I saw that 'movie' too. I've seen it a couple times in Palos Verdes.

The old bait and switch.

A single lane pistol range is a pretty easy setup. Remember that line from the Lord of the Rings?

7 years, that's kind of a long time.

A few years ago I was on a flight sitting next to an A's pitcher that had just been traded. He showed me pictures of the new house he was building in the Mid-West. He was showing me his very large basement that included a full size pitching lane. I asked him if he could also use it a pistol range. He said he hadn't thought of that but didn't see why not and would ask his contractor to makes some mods to do that.

Ok..this has been on my mind for a while ..I've got a big flat lot in an urban area, lots of space. I could easily put a 25 yard personal range underneath my lot. Anyone ever heard of this? Am I dreaming? Would the regulatory hoops be huge? Advice welcome.

I have been dreamng about that also, along with 2 lane bowling alley (serious)...

What about a F.A.T.S? Easier and ceaper??

Cheaper to just buy a boat -

Go out about 20 miles -

Toss some biodegradable targets overboard -

And have at it.

Plus you get to catch dinner....

Seems like a situation where, "don't ask don't tell", and "what nobody knows, won't hurt" comes to mind.
