I am looking at property in Carbon and wanted to see if anyone had knowledge of the legality of building a range in my backyard.
The property is 20+ acres with a more then suitable hill for a backstop. Any advice would be appreciated!

Check your local municipality to see if they have an ordinance against recreational target shooting.
You have to check your township zoning. Noise and nuisance ordinances. Even though you may be pretty far from neighbors the layout of the land will make a big difference how sound travels so if you're considerate you'll probably never even get a complaint.

Hopefully I'll be up there in just a few months, fingers crossed they accept my offer! Ready to leave the city behind me..
