New to Texas

[KZCafe]

Hello,

I'm new to TX. Military moved my family here and I'm living in Lampasas.

I bought a Mini 14 and a Wrangler as my first gun purchases. Not a fan of the AR platform.

Is backyard .22 shooting pretty common in TX?

Welcome to the Forum!

Depends on where you live.

Thanks!

I'm on a county road in Lampasas county. Neighbors on either side but about 1.5 acre backyard.

Don't think I'd try it.

There are county regulations.

Some countries require minimum of 10 acres for hunting
Target shooting needs a really good backstop
Check county ordinance
Definitely not inside a city limit

Welcome to Texas and TGT.

Great choices you made on your first two purchases!

I am in an area where I could shoot in my backyard, but choose not to so as not to get neighbors excited.
My solution is PCP air rifles. I can shoot all day long and not bother anyone. I save the powder burners for gun ranges.

What is it about the Mini -14 platform you prefer over the AR?

Welcome to TGT by the way.

Could do a lot worse than a mini-14, but the AR is modular and versitile.

With a regular .223 AR,I can chang the barrel and maybe the bolt and have 300BO, 6.5 grendel, 458socom? And lots of others avaliable for use. Definitely value in the adaptability and inherent accuracy.

I love my mini-14 and its vool and fun to shoot, but the AR is unarguably a better design that beats the mini-14 in every area other than coolness.

As others pointed out, if you are in the city proper, shooting a firearm is a crime, even a 22. Get an PCP air gun and be smart about using it.


Where are you new to Texas from?
