I’ve lived in MA most of my life and only recently begun to free myself from the nanny-state programming, so forgive me for this potentially naïve question.
We just sold our house and are starting to house hunt in NH. We have our eye on a property in Newton, and I want to be sure that shooting on my own property won’t be an issue. The plot in question is about 6 acres and has a rectangular layout of about 100 yds. by 300 yds. The house is at the far end of one of the short sides of the rectangle. The adjacent properties have a similar size and layout.
It seems to me that somewhere in the middle of this piece of property I should be able to set up a small range (~50 yards) and easily be more than 300 ft. from any other houses in the area. I've sketched it out and done some calculations (yeah I'm a geek).
As a courtesy, I will certainly let my new neighbors know of my intentions. Are there any other considerations I should have? (e.g., town ordinance, etc.).
Thanks in advance for your advice.
