trying to ask farmers for target shooting permission
billzz:
there are a zillion acres of land all around me and i for the 1st time am trying to find out who owns what land around north platte nebraska.
i am willing to help work the land or give them money in exchange for a place to set up a dedicated shooting lane for my long range pistol projects.
but i dont know how to go about this.
i guess find a platt map to find out owners names and then send them a letter?
anybody have any input?
i have a 1 ton dually and a 28 foot gooseneck trailer along with plenty of tools

As a land owner and a hunter safety instructor, I'll tell you what I tell my hunter safety students. Be prepared to build a relationship before you'll be allowed to fire a single round. Also, be aware that crops and livestock take priority over your ability to target shoot and/or hunt.
I would suggest stopping by and introducing yourself to the farmers who own land where you would like to shoot. Dress and look respectable. No need for a suit and tie, but you should look like someone they could trust with their kids.

Maturity and a clean-cut appearance are definite positives. Community involvement is good too. If you're active in a church or social organizations that might be a good place to start networking.
