Is there any way to borrow the old book from anybody?

around 60acres & outside of the nearest city limits.

So, is the current edition of the NRA Range Book not worth buying? I already suggested it to my supervisor at work for our range out there.

I'm putting this link here for future reference.

I am an NRA member, but don't plan on doing this as a business. Just as a fun, safe place to shoot for cheap.

NRA's website is confusing, & I've been online almost half my life

I've looked through the topics posted here & didn't see much that fit what I'm asking about.

I recently bought a nice chunk of land that has been in my family for over a century. One of my plans for the place is to build a private range on it.
My Dad used to take me shooting out there when I was younger. I know that 2 of my neighbors have smaller places where they shoot nearby. I spoke with one of them about this a bit already & he wants to help. The other one has been shooting into a berm, but some of his lead has made it onto my land, so I'm hoping he will appreciate a new safer place to shoot. I know that several of my friends are looking forward to shooting with me out there.

I would like to hear & see suggestions on what to do before getting started. Before I committed to buying this place I was a member of the East Texas Rifle & Pistol Club. There is also a small range on the ranch where I work. My range won't be near as nice as the Club's, but should get the job done.

Any pictures or suggestions from people who have helped construct ranges would definitely be appreciated. Hopefully this thread will also help others in the future who want to build their own private ranges across this Great State!
