Gun Range in Elizabethtown area? (No KCR!) (West Point: legal, farm)

[Cards4fail]

Knob creek has become a busy mess among other things.

I'd prefer not to drive through the dump of a town of West Point as well.

Why is there not a range down in/ near Etown? Plenty of farm land.

I have no idea as to the answer to your question but am curious. In CT, now, we need ranges to shoot, for the most part. When I was a kid or teenager, (late 70s-80s) we used to walk down the street w rifles over our shoulders and shoot in the woods, at the quarry, etc.
Is it not still rural enough in KY where you can find open wooded areas to shoot if u want? Ranges are nice and all but sometimes, I just want to bring some cans into the woods at the base of a hill.

It is illegal to shoot from a public road, over a property line, or into or on posted property in Kentucky.

All as it should be. And all of which have been done on (or into) my own posted wooded rural property, by uninvited others who never made any effort to ask my permission. I don't like stray bullets flying around my head, or around the heads of my family and friends and invited guests who may be hiking, picnicking, etc. on my land.

If you (that's a generic "you", Cards4fail and beagleboybob, and not directed at either of you personally - I assume you both know better and are more law-abiding and considerate) want to go shooting in the woods, please ask the owner of said woods how they feel about it first.

It's rural enough and quite legal outside city limits, but as ststed above, you must have the owners permission. not everyone has griends with rural land that they are o.k. with people shooting on, hence the recent popularity of ranges.

to the o.p., the only other range I know of is in the east end of louisville. it's called "open range" yet it is indoor, lol.
