    Default Anyone have private land I can shoot five rounds on???

    I am not sure if this is the right thread to put this, but. . .

    I am looking for someone who owns land (enough to legally shoot a gun on). I do not want to break any laws. I am not to sure of the laws pertaining this.

    Or if you own/run an outdoor range, that would work too. . .

    I wish to shoot about 4-5 rounds. I want to set up a row of 5 water jugs(gallons) and do the "at home" hollowpoint expansion test. You can see people doing this on youtube.

    I wish to test no more than 5 bullets. I will set up 5 rows of 5 jugs, and try one by one.

    Set up, shooting, clean up should take no more than 15-20 min. If not less.
    Safety and following the law is the number one concern!!!

    I will clean up and take the jugs/bullets/cases. So you will be getting a free lawn watering!!!

    If anyone on my side of the state can help me, I would be very gratefull!!!!

    Thanks

    Join a range?

    I know my local range (Birdsboro Rod/Gun) has no issue with shooting whatever you want, as long as it's done safely, no glass, and you clean up.

    I am a member of an indoor range. . . No go for that.
    Could you ask your range if it would be ok, perhaps i can go there as a guest. . .

    In Philly? Just do it on the street. No one will notice.

    I wish, I am up in NE philly. About 1000 feet from Bucks county. . .

    If I was o0o0o so lucky enough to live "in the hood" I might be tempted. .

    No guests, unfortunately.

    How about a SGL public range? I'm sure if you went on a drizzly weekday, you could find one vacant, and do your test quickly.

    You could come down to where I live to do it, 10 acres and I target shoot here all the time and nobody gives a flying patootie. Be a few hours drive for you though, but maybe we can set up some local PA OCers and we all meet to eat somewhere first, then you can put your feet 1 mile into PRMD to do your test.
    LOL, I am a woman...

    Smart thinking!!! There ain't enough private land or owners permission to ever get me to shoot a gun in that state!
    Rehab is for quitters!!

    Not a bad idea, but her property is literally right on the border. She exaggerates when she says it's 1 mile. Maybe 1 mile if you include her 1/2 mile long driveway lol

    Coyote, if I'm invited, I'd be down to come. I'd even be willing to give that prior eating venue a second chance I just advise any fellow Philadelphia natives to avoid their hoagies, and I assume their cheesesteaks (same rolls...blech)
