For years all the shooting I did was on my own property (just a 10/22, 8mm K98, and a very ancient breechloading single barrel single shot shotgun) or on others' property (with their permission of course
) so the rules were pretty lax, just dont aim towards the house.
Like you I recently visited an indoor shooting range for the first time, and I don't think it's as fun as outdoors shooting (no beer) but cool for target practicing I suppose. The one we went to only allowed handguns and .22's though. Interesting..
