Made a shooting range

[grsthegreat]

I'm going to guess 78.

nope.. i bought 60 ties.

There pinned with #4 rebar I Used a 3/8" x 36" long drill bit and i pinned all corners and all centers of the ties. Each piece of rebar penetrated 3 sets of ties. That and the staggered ends locked it together just fine. Its even pinned 36" into the ground on the 1st run.

That was going to be my guess. 14 rows high, 2 wide across the back and 2 more for each side = 56, plus 4 on the ground in front...

yup...your the winner. i was going to go a bit higher, but after i got this tall i went and stood in front and looked up. i figured if anyone was to shoot that high they wouldnt even have been allowed on the range anyways. youd have to be a god awful shot to miss this backstop.

That is a great range set-up.

i built our range as our road was in risk of washing out. the road is next to a creek. the road is on the edge of a hill. at about 15 to 18 feet above gthe bottom land i built the bench for shooting and added a skeet thrower on a post.

so i am shooting from above and downward. there are no rocks in the soil - none for richojettes spelling?

the targets are placed so bullets hit into the ground or into the old creek banks. the creek was rerouted to save the road.

for targets we use:

2 posts with 1* across beaver board is mounted so i can staple targets to it. 5 of these
i made a frame of landscape timbers and hung full sized rams (cut from 3/8 inch steel hung with chain
old posts drilled with rebar through this .....welded bars, washers, smaller silohette steel tagets to 1/2 inch pipe ...... rebar was drilled placed in cotter key washer target on pipe washer cotter key we have about 50 of these

we have 2 heavy steel plates hung at 100 and 125 yards

we have slots cut in landscape timbers so we can stand clay pigeons on edge


this is our 22 range

behind this 1 mile of pure woods before the next out building.....

we shoot high powers only into paper

i had a sign made that i place on my gate when the range is live. a bit tongue in cheek
