Basement shooting ranges
 
Who has a shooting range set-up in their basement? I do not have enough room in my current house for one, but will make accomodations for one in the new house in 8-12 months. Any feedback would be great.

1/2 of my basement is finished as a rec / famliy room with a wet bar , sink and refridgerator.
The other 1/2 is the utility / laundery area , no room for a indoor range besides my wife would kill me if I shot an arrow inside the house.

Basement? No such thing up here. The water table is only 18" where you can dig and where you can't you'd be blasting out bedrock.

I used to shoot in my basement once in a while. There just wan't esnough room and a blind corner made me uneasy. Now I just shoot off the front porch and into the side yard (fenced in). I have to be carefull about that one though. I live down the alley from the Police Station [8D]
