1/2 acre what is that like ? I have like a 8000 sq ft lot, that is counting the side walk.
I have to drive 30 mins to shoot in my truck whic gets 14 mpg if I am lucky
So after I buy diesel at 4 buck a gal and pay for the ammo my neighbors kids shoot I am in the hole for a bit of cash. That is not counting buying lunch for the kids, the price of fun and passing it to the next generation :-)
