Have your own range? Let's see it!

This is a shooting pavilion my parents let me build on a part of their property -- it's my very own private shooting range. Let's see yours!

The backstop is a hill (taller than it looks in the photo). The range is 100 yards. I have plans to put in a berm at the end of the field on the right side of the last photo -- that'd stretch things out to close to around 800 yards.

Hey! You can't speak for all of us like that. Of course ... _you_ might hate him. And well ... I know I do. And the 3-4 other guys I showed this to and talked about it with all hate him also.
But that's not _all_ of us. I'll bet theres some that really only disklike him.
And think of this - how would you feel if you lived next door to his parents?

Wonderful looking range Cortland. Hell - I'd even like the opportunity to shoot someplace that nice afer a long drive. Owning it? Darn!
Good job.
No. I don't live next door. Yes - I do hate you.

Oh I don't hate him. After all, I live in VA too. If I said that I hated him then there wouldn't be any way to get an invitation :evil:

Very, very nice Cortland.
Outstanding shooting pavilion.
Beautiful land.
No doubt one of the nicest ranges I've seen.
This is my back yard plinking range. 50 yards but I seldom shoot back this far. Usually in the heat of the summer I'm shooting while in the shade of the trees.:)

My 100 yard rifle range is in the woods a few hundred yards from the house.
The green door on the shed opens to shoot from a bench inside but mostly I just shoot from the outside bench. There's a 25, 50 and 100 yard backstop.
Been shooting here since 1967.:)

I would be their very best friend and bring them food and beer! That's just a fantastic place....

OH I am SO jealous now! :p
But I guess I can't complain too much there is an out door range less than 10 minutes from my house. I just have to get a baby sitter.:cool:

I've always liked Virginia.
Do you have an unmarried daughter? :evil:

Cortland, your little patch looks like Heaven on Earth. (The range is nice as well.)

Here is a shot of my son shooting steel in my father-in-laws back yard.

Whoa, awesome steel collection! Here's the bulk of my rather meager collection:

Although the plate rack trailer is awesome. I keep it parked under the pavilion.

Just rub it in.:) Is that an electric reset on the plate trailer? Very nice setup all around. So when's the big THR shooting meet at your folks?

Cortland,
Where abouts is your parent's land? And do you need a shooting buddy?

Oh no, it's a mechanical linkage with a long rope.
For the record this range is in Richmond County, Virginia. I'm open to giving out invitations but priority must go to MG owners. My little Uzi gets lonely ;)
