    Default Place for BB gun in Bucks county

    My brother-in-law just got a BB gun and is excited to learn how to shoot with it. However, his back parent's backyard is adjacent to a daycare, which doesn't seem like the smartest place to be firing what appears to be a real gun. I live in an apartment with not much yard to speak of so my place isn't any better. Does anyone know of a place around Bucks county that would be good for this kind of thing? I'm leaning towards taking him to Survival Trail indoor range, but paying $20+$15 and hour for the two of us to shoot a BB gun seems to kind of defeat the point of a BB gun being an inexpensive toy. Any thoughts on where might be a BB gun friendly outdoor space would be appreciated! Thank you!

    Solid advice. For the OP, a trap for a BB gun is just a cardboard box with crumpled newsprint in it. The same will work for low end pellet guns. As a single guy, I shot a pellet pistol in the living room with my box trap in the fireplace.

    A shame and kind of ridiculous there's nowhere in bucolic Bucks County to shoot a bb gun these days without risking a SWAT response. I grew up in denser DelCo and we used to shoot bb guns and wrist rockets and have cap gun fights in the backyard and never had a problem.
