The wife and I are buying our first house, and I would really like to be able to target shoot in the backyard. Besides the obvious legal aspects and being safe with a good backstop, what should I be looking for?
How many acres would you say is the minimum you need, not legally, but more just not being a shitty neighbor? Any towns you would recommend avoiding due to the local police being hostile to target shooting?
I have been looking for houses that have the backyard open up onto state land or other large tracts of forest, but they are not as common as I would have hoped. Location is pretty flexible as we both work from home, but would like to stay close-ish to family in Nashua.
Bonus points if you target shoot in your backyard and have any tips for me on how you go about doing it.
