I wouldn't want to shoot any quantity from inside a house - firearms do put out a good bit of lead and other contaminates that you really don't want in your system. Modern indoor ranges scrub the air and keep fresh air blowing on you, which wouldn't be practical in your house.

Shoot from a hallway, muzzle near the door, with a large fan blowing from behind you.

My ears are still ringing, but I'm not sure if that is from the sound of the little 6mm going off, or from the rapping my mother gave me on the top of the head with her wooden spaghetti spoon. :???:
My existing range is out back of the house, and I've considered shooting from inside in the utility room, but my dog would freak, so I'll have to settle for the front porch and a fan.

Call my a pansy, I'm just getting older and with my condition, I already sweat more than the average human. Is there anything like this in the dfw area? Preferably something close to Denton.

Funny to see this.....I just told my wife last night that I was going to build a new backstop that I could shoot at from the front porch, where I could place a large fan to help avoid some of the South Texas sauna.
