How far of drive is your gun club....so you can shoot.
For me ...door to door is 30-35 minutes.
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

If its not muddy or crops in about 2 minutes. regular range is about 10 miles.

I shoot on my property or in the woods. I have never been to a gun club. X2 Don't think I could live where I couldn't shoot in my own back yard. There is a gun club up the road where they shoot skeet, trap etc... It's only about 3 miles away

What's a gun club? Oh wait maybe it is a gun that no longer works and is therefore a club?

Drive??? From my cabin door to the place I can start shooting at the swinging pistol targets I have set up is .... oh... probably 4 steps . For my 100 yard set up to make sure my scopes are on is a little farther... say about 30 steps. If I want to shoot out to 300 or 400 yards I do have a drive of about 3 miles, to one of our family farms. My shot gun shooting place is wherever I drag my Champion electric thrower too. This is why I could never hang my hat in a city. Lived in a local "major metropolitan city".... for the area at least...Swanton Nebraska, pop 98 when I got married in 1978 for a short time. Hated it. Will die in the country and plan on being out there forever... ashes thrown in the wind !

In town have to go across the river and down to the end of Jacksonboro road.About a 5 minuit drive. Everybody in town shoots there.Lots of targets set up at different ranges. Or anywhere 5 minutes out of town your in the bush so no problem. At the cabins on the traplines right out the door.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

My property is my gun club. A few feet to a door, or less to a window if I'm still in my socks! We have a nice range set up (outside) with a berm backdrop and hangers for targets. We have a couple of nice gun clubs around here though. One is seven miles and the other is ten miles from here.

I guess I’m spoiled also! I can shoot out the back door, and shoot out the front door. There are two houses to the north of me, so I would not want to shoot that direction, but I have killed coyotes right from my doorstep, or right from where I park my pick up, south, east, and west from the house.
