Shooting on Power Line Trails in SC

Re: Shooting on Power Line Trails in SC

Property of the power companies, no doubt. They have easements. I'm thinking it's not a good idea to shoot there.
 
Re: Shooting on Power Line Trails in SC

Easement or right-of-way, not exclusive ownership. By definition, in order to have an easement or right-of-way, somebody else has to actually own the property.

ALOT of shooting occurs on powerlines.

Lotsa shooting along power lines out here. I used them to range my 338LM at 800yds. Not a big deal in OR.

Unless it's public land, you still need permission of whoever actually owns the land.
 
Re: Shooting on Power Line Trails in SC

ah, that's for setting me straight guys (and that opens up some possibilities for me).
 
Re: Shooting on Power Line Trails in SC

I'll ask around then. A relative of mine owns quite a bit of land with a few lines running through it. Maybe they'll let me shoot on them.
 
Re: Shooting on Power Line Trails in SC

Just remember if you are going to shoot under the lines...bullets arc ALOT...especially at long distances.

In Tennessee the "right of ways" are property of TVA and they DO prosecute to the fullest. Don't ask me how I know. Don't hunt on CSX track berms either.
