Bought acreage

I finally found my land after beating the asphault, gravel and dirt back roads of Alabama, I found it in the Collinsville area.
Here's what I am wanting to do, the property is 25acres approx. 20 is wooded with trails and two feed plots. I am going to expand the trail system and add three more food plots. I am going to open it up to other hunters the criteria is as follows.
Firearm requirements:
*Air Rifles .35 cal min.
*Archery and crossbow.
* Powder guns must be well suppressed (no un-supressed powder guns allowed)

I am also going to allow disabled Vets access for no charge and will provide pcps to hunt with to the Vets who don't have one or can't afford one. I am retired from the Construction and Oil Field Industries, my father (God rest his soul) was a Big Game outfitter in Colorado and I have been shooting and hunting from age 7.
My biggest regret in life is that I did not serve our country. I should have listened to my High School Counselor Mr. Calderon who tried his best to get me to join right from High School. Of course, I didn't listen and things happen. At 24, I tried to enlist however by that time I was already busted up with a broken back in two places and other issues. It was a no go.

I want to be able to give back to our Vets and this is one way I hope I can do that.
I also would like to support the Airgun Industry by hosting shoots, not just bench rest but actual shoots involving hunting blinds, brush, angles of target ect. Much how archery shoots are done for hunting.

Anyway, any feed back or ideas would be appreciated.

Larry.

I applaud your generosity. First things first, as the landowner you want to check your liability by letting people hunt on your property. Even if you provide a waiver, that may not be enough protection. I truly hope if works out for you.
Congrats on the acreage, I envy you!
Very good point, Thank you I have literally been looking for 1 1/2 years none stop, the great thing about this land is it has a natural spring and adjoins parcels that are 15 to 45 acres and the same for those parcels. There's like 1500 acres oof unobstructed land for game to roam.

I hope it all works out too, I am not looking to cash in from the hunting aspect, just want to give some support.

That's exactly what I was going to post. I have 40 acres of lightly wooded land with a 100 yard shooting range. I would love to open it up to fellow air gunners to shoot but the liability risks are too much. Heck, the only people we let shoot there are a couple of close friends and only 2 of our 4 children.

Yeah, damned lawyers and liability.
