Where do you shoot???

Here's what and where I can go, how about you guys?
1 Semi-organized range where the only real rules are the 3 basic NRA rules, and no full auto or excessive rapid fire, shooting within in your lane only, and no tracer ammo. This one is about 10 mins from my house.
3 Seperate areas of state land that shooters have been using for years. No regs. These are about a 45 min to 75 min drive.
4 seperate areas of private property where I know the land owners and all I have to do is call ahead and let them know. All of these are out here in "wheat field" country where most of the farms have some livestock so the rule is to retrieve brass & targets, and shoot any coyotes on sight. You nail a songdog or two and you've made a friend of any farmer for life. These are about an hour and a half from my house. The only rules that apply are good common sense.
The 25 Meter indoor range at my National Guard Unit's Armory Bldg. I had to sign a release waiver and take a class to run the range, but I'm on the list as an authorized user and can bring a guest. The only drawback is the pistol ammo must be jacketed and under 1,700FPS, rifle ammo must be either .22LR lead, or anything else must be softpoint or frangible, and under 2,000FPS. This is 2 hours from my house, but my unit is getting a new armory in the next 3 years which will be a half an hour from home.

I can't extend the bayo only at 1 range. It's the only out-door range left since it's so strict.
Rules:
1 round in mag for centerfire rifles
6 rounds in mag for rimfire
6 rounds in mag for handguns
No bayonet extensions
No standing up with centerfire rifles
No standing up with ANY gun at 100 yards (Yes, even a .22)
For pistol's and rimfire, only 1 shot every 3 or 5 seconds.
And the list goes on and on and on....
The more I read, the sicker I got.............

(Jacksonville,) Two indoor gun ranges,
one trap/skeet (really nice,but gets expensive after a while)
one outdoor that has TOOO many AL Gores (nicknamed for anti gunning rules), but it is a nice range.
And the "farm". Place where full autos are welcome, friends can bring what they got, and expect to be able to shoot it with safety. If you ain't got it, come anyway, cause somebody will have one. Ammo is shot as fast as you want and skeet is shot when you get somebody to throw it. Friendly place, usually opens around sept and stays open as long as we can stand the heat.Only drawback, by invitation only.Sandman2234
Have Gun, will travel

Rule #1----I make the rules
Rule #2----Refer to rule #1

(this is made easier however through another Supertrap product,ballistic tiles.These are 2'x2' rubber sound dampeners.
For me this was the best product,it has minimal upkeep and creates the least amount of airbourne lead than other backstops due to the way it grabs the bullet,stopping it in one whole piece rather than fragmenting.While this product is not for everyone it sure is one of the best of its' kind.Finished I must have spent in the area of $10000 over a few years time but for me it was worth it.

Shoot in the middle of 320 acres, towards a creekbank at 800 yards that serves as a backstop.
Have shot coyotes and crows from my patio door.
One advantage of living in a rural area, where a gunshot will probably bring a neighbor wanting to get in some target practice too!
Instead of a call to the law.
