I dont shoot big ones at my house, that is because I dont even keep them at my house, my friend keeps them at his house, he lives in the country. The reason I keep them there is because my parents dont want me using them and my yard is way to small to fire them, he has checked with the police and they didnt care, we shoot shotguns and things there too

Fortunately, I live outside the city and my neighbor owns most of the land surrounding my acre lot. You might not think this is great until you find out that he planted a bunch of trees there! Yep, my firing range is a field with a whole lot of seven foot tall trees. When I want to see more clearly how far I'm firing I'll go to my friend's house (he lives way out of the city).

And although I've never tried it, I've always wanted to fire it on my high school's football field to see how far it would go. The high school is out of the city too, I guess the school board got a good deal on some land.

I checked with the cops after my first gun was built up. It was legal and all, but he said the only place they could take any waction is if its in a school building or on campus. Seemed odd, mainly due tot he fact that beside our Drama hall theres a rack with 6 big "T-shirt Launchers." These are simple U -bend Ball valve pneumatics, but what do I know.
