Are there any public shooting ranges in your area? Lot of times located on conservation ground there will be a public shooting range.I'm sure there should be some private shooting ranges around Springfield check with a local gun shop.
I shoot on my farm we have some dirt bermed up for a safe back stop,I have also been thinking about building a bullet trap to save lead and keep bullets from skipping away.With a hard steel plate behind my target at an angle will cause the bullets into the ground or sand pit.I am going to build one just large enough for one target to keep size down so I can keep it portable to move it around and gain 200 plus more yards with a safe back stop.
