Thanks for all the good replies everybody. And thanks to those who included pictures. Very interesting to me. I have always been curious as to how everyone else does it.

The ones that have the ability to shoot in their own back yards or at least close to their homes are very fortunate!!!

I used to shoot at a public range about 1 hour south of my home. The facility charges by-the-hour. I had the same problem that a few of you had mentioned- long and frequent cease-fires. When you are charged by-the-hour and shoot black powder it can get EXPENSIVE lol. It is a nice range, though.
