long story short..i got to battle a left wing liberal-2nd amendment hater in court about shooting my bow in my back yard. i won!!!!good lawyer!!!
however i can't shoot in my back yard anymore (guess i kinda lost too)
I ma trying to find a place to shoot alittle after work. I like alpine range but it isn't on my way home anymore. i live in hurst, work off loop 12 in irving. i have my own target.
does anyone know of a range or public park or ANY suggestions for me. smithfield and alpine are just too hard during the week. anyone have any private "legal" land? please help

Can you go into more details about how it went to court? +1, I shoot in mine, but my neighbor is cool. Always wondered though. Glad you won!

Did Judge Whitley, if he is still there, treat you fairly?

Shoot in the backyard all the time in a subdivison. So far no problems. Glad to hear you won but hate to hear you can't shoot in your own yard anymore.

Sounds like you need to move out of the big city, and away from the libs.

I'll be curious to hear this story as well. I just shot for the first time in my backyard in my new subdivision in Katy. Hope nobody cares....don't really care if they do.

I would like to hear the rest of the story too.
I shoot in my backyard but I'm careful and I try and shoot during the day on work days only because I could understand someone worrying I'm gonna kill one of their pets or injure a kid accidently. Even though the corner I'm shooting into would completely destroy my arrow if I missed my target.
I do think I looked this up once and it is against city ordinance where I am. And I have a police officer next door on the other side who don't seem so friendly.
