Does anyone have any experience or advice on setting up a private pistol only gun range? I went through the regulations and they look fairly easy to comply with. We have 240 acres on our family farm and therefore plenty of space to set up a pistol range. Since we have very hilly land there are many ideal locations with huge dirt backstops. We legally can shoot our rifles wherever we want but I want to setup my own private pistol range. It wouldn't be open to the public but just our close family and friends (it is such a pain in the butt to go to the community range). Harvey

Read through those. There are other threads but those are probably your biggest help. Lots of time when "can I have a private range?" Thread comes up it's full of "you can shoot wherever man, dwellings n such" or on the other hand people proclaim you need a 500ft tall barrier from the outside world.
My range is similar to the 2 threads above, hence where I got all my ideas and info, I'm not gonna post my range here cause I know the queens cowboys visit this site frequently.
