Finally got started on a shooting deck three weekends ago. I got 99% finished with it today. The three posts holding the table top for shooting off of is not connected to the deck anywhere. I put a lot of cross pieces under the deck and lots of 4X4 posts supporting them. It's pretty solid. I am happy with it. The front 2X6 is only a couple inches out of the dirt which will make it easy for my FIL to step onto it. In the second pic you can see a 16" 1/2 steel plate hanging there at about 105 yards. I have a target frame that takes 2X2 pieces of wood for stapling cardboard and paper targets at 100.
