Starting a shooting range or MDshooters starting a tactical course in MD
My father lives on our family farm in rural Kentucky. I want to build a 3 gun competition type shooting course, so I can do all the fun stuff I can't do at a normal range (move and shoot, holster draws, nighttime shooting, moving targets). I know the NRA has resources about starting a traditional shooting range, but I assume something that's more like a tactical course would be different. Does anyone have any experience will that or know where I could find information about that?
It'd be nice if I could turn it into a business. There's a lot of shooters that don't have any where else to shoot but a range (and would like something more than that). Our farm is in the sticks, surrounded by other farms. I feel like the neighbors wouldn't object. The farm is already a corporation.
It wouldn't be a tactical school, since I'm not qualified to teach that sort of thing. Just a secluded place where shooters could push their firearms to the limits and practice stress fire shooting. Then sit around a campfire at night and eat grilled steaks and drink beer.
I know I'd have to get a ton of insurance and permits. And it'd take a lot of money. Gotta have a dream!
