Hey guys I'm buying a house soon and was wondering how much land I need to legally shoot guns on my property. Anyone have a clue?

11 acres to hunt but I am not sure about private ranges.

From the CT DEP site: "A landowner must have a minimum of 10 acres to authorize the use of a rifle or revolver for deer hunting. There is no minimum acreage requirement for using a shotgun, muzzleloader or archery equipment"
But be careful of local laws. Some towns have laws against discharging a firearm in town.

look under "Private land permission"
