    I bought 26 acres just outside of town for this very purpose. It's hilly. I've a 30 yard range out the basement door with a plate rack and a good berm. 150 yard range down the hill and a place for a Hickock45 type setup in a ravine. 

    15 years ago this was possible, not anymore unless you go way farther out. No neighbors have complained yet. I do try to only shoot during the day. I hear shooting all the time around here. 

    I live in a subdivision cut out of farmland about 15 years ago. I hear shooting all the time from surrounding Farm Land. Nobody complains.

    The places I'm finding for my client are high end homes on 15 to 30 acres next to similar homes with similar acreage surrounded by woods or farmland.

    It could go either way how much neighbors would squawk.

    Perhaps you shouldn’t entertain out of state clients or be in the business of bringing more in.  ;)

    As a native Tennessean I’ll just go ahead and say we are full up. 

    I can assure you everythIng they are trying to escape will happen here.

     My family is native TN and KY but my parents moved a bunch. I was in Oregon for 10 years but the cancer from CA  has spread all along the coast, I had to go. Couldn't convince the wife to go to Idaho so we landed here. Sorry..... I will retire thereabouts one day God willing but others will take my place.

    People migrate, it's inevitable. You think TN is absolute pro-gun then see cracks forming in Nashville.  I Sympathize but the Native Tennesseans are selling the land to build the subdivisions and promoting companies to bring jobs here. Or at least voting for those that do.

    I thought it a good sign these folks were pro-gun anyway! TN has a bit of time left before it becomes CA.

    Vote pro-2ndA and don't let side issues distract and TN will be fine.

  3. My one buyer shoots suppressed. I've found a few good homes but the land is too flat or the home is smack dab in the way. This is getting to be a PITA.

    The good thing is the one client is from out of state and I'm guessing is moving to be in a more gun friendly State. Same reason I moved here.

    The bad news is it isn't a shooter's paradise like a lot of people think. No public land to shoot on, subdivisions popping up everywhere etc.

    I'll probably find them a piece of land to build on. The other client is already leaning that way. Ideally a hill or natural berm to shoot into. Jackson County has some places.

    If it was me I'd get an isolated 20+ acres of cheap "undesirable to most" land 40 minutes from town and put a crappy shack on it. Shoot on the weekends or days off and have a nice home in town.

    The hardest part is dealing with the people that believe the ads, no money, no credit, bad credit, you can buy a car. 💩

    Real Estate is the same! 100% govt backed loans only get you so far. Some people have no clue. I try to educate them and hope they call me when they have their ducks in a row.

    I'm a Realtor who has had two clients recently looking to build a 200 yard minimum rifle Range in their back yard. More specifically they want to buy an existing home with the possibility to build one.

    They want a pretty nice house within 35 minutes drive of Cookeville.  Up to 450K... You'd think it would be easy enough but no! Not a lot of isolated enough properties within 35 minutes of town.

    I know with the right terrain and outside city limits this is legal and safe. I'm jealous actually and plan to have a set up like this myself one day! Hickok45 on youtube is my idol!

    Anyway.....anyone have something like this and had neighbors complain?, the law coming to check etc. or are people generally accepting of the fact that if you have some acreage outside city limits you might get a neighbor who will set up a rifle range?

    Getting raw land and building is the other option of course. If you build first then others who move in later can't complain so much.

    Thanks for any input or insight on the subject in advance.

    Mike
