A few pictures of our Club's Shooting Range. Have 40 acres, purchased from US Steel. Entire area was fully wooded. Mostly volunteer help - local Contractors, etc. Doing some finish grading with my Kubota, so it can be mowed with Rotary Mower. Lots of rocks and wood had to be removed.
We have 100, 200 and 300 meters for rifle and trap house to right. Many of you probably belong to Shooting Clubs - our only claim is the view - Coppper Peak Ski Flying Hill in the background - only Ski Flying Hill in the Western Hemisphere.

Sweet shooting range... thanks for the pictures. The paper company we lease our hunting camp from is thinning trees now and I hope to have an area set-up for a small shooting range.. getting into reloading and don't have a lot of trust in yahoos at the public range. I've seen people walk on the range while still hot... they thought everybody should go cold when he wanted to.

Nice looking ranges! Are you guys planning anything for lead reclamation? It's starting to be a big thing out this way and has been used by the anti's to get some ranges shut down. You ought to look into doing it now; could save you some headaches later...

Have you seen plans for a simple 1 or 2 station 100 meter range? I have 20 acres that is almost square so I have space. The land behind me is used for cattle and will continue to be so for some time so is not a consideration now.
