Places to Shoot

Where to shoot is an important question with some serious legal and safety issues. Check with your local, state/provincial or federal governments for any laws or bylaws governing where you can shoot. The safest place to learn how to shoot is at your local range. Some ranges are county or state run and open to the public upon payment of a day fee. Others are private, for members' use only, although some private ranges do allow the public access as a guest of a member or through a day-pass system.
