    Im looking to open a 1000yd range catered to the north Texas area, about $8000 worth of steel targets, unknown distances, BR style shooting, pistol berm, 100-300yd, You get the picture.

    My question is what are some of the considerations I may be overlooking in opening up a 1000 yd range?
    Additional costs as to a 100yd outdoor range? (minus 900y of more land)
    Range fan for big bore rifles? safety concerns?
    Would it be better suited to North Texas as a club or public range?
    What legal fees should i expect to incurr drawing up a rock solid liability waiver?
    Im in the initial stages of planning, would it be worth it to pay the NRA consulting team to come out and view the property?

    I know there is a wealth of knowledge on this forum and all feedback would be greatly appreciated. The proposed location is situated as to allow an easy drive for the Dallas area but not crowd or step on another clubs turf. If there are any range experts here that would like to offer any guidance feel free to contact me.
    Thank you all for the time.. Adam
