Here in Texas there are two simple restrictions when target shooting: No shooting within city limits unless you have an approved indoor range and the bullets have to stay on your property. It's the latter that drives rifle ranges to insist that shooters display both knowledge and ability about their rifle/cartridge combination at most Texas long distance ranges. Unless you're somewhere like buying lakefront property chunks of land aren't long and thin they're square and a section of land is very expensive....almost as much as a lawsuit.
