just about finished the new personal range

[Byrd666]

Okay, the Good Book tells me not to covet thy neighbors wife. It didn't say a damned thing about a great little backyard range like that.

Nice job. :_)

Impressive.

I'm glad you got out of the echo chamber and built a shooting porch. That should help cut down on the noise level.

I would be concerned about the backstop heights on the pistol range and any exposed rock, even on a 100yd rifle range, is a safety issue if someone throws a round outside of your hanging mats. Great idea of using the hanging mats.

Great range and "Clubhouse?"!

Okay! I am being jealous. It looks like a really great all weather shooting facility. It appears you can still shoot from inside the shed if the weather gets really nasty and you so desire. And a really great place to store things like your Clay target thrower, targets and such.

And to the people who are freaking out over the bare stones, This is a rifle range and at a hundred yards, nothing is going to "bounce" back at him, and from the looks of the terrain, there aren't any neighbors close enough to worry about.

I know we all want to be safe, but really, a little common sense please!

Very Nice!
The only thing I will ask about is the foundation - looks like you just set the posts/stairs on blocks on the dirt? Don't know what part of the country you live in - but I think you will have trouble with that...
Here we have to dig down about 3' and pour concrete to mount the posts to prevent frost heaving and summer contraction...

Source for heavy rubber mats?

What is your source for the rubber mats? I've been told to use old conveyer belts but am not finding any locally.

And the range looks great by the way,


Thanks

This is so cool. I plan on building something myself (30 years down the road when I retire, thank goodness for wives who make more money than you do!), and I couldn't imagine it looking this good. Kudos!
