Please use adequate backstop when shooting

When I cleared the trees to make a pasture, I built a 10' high, 30' diameter dirt berm at the end of the property and painted fence posts as distance markers. It works real good until I have to turn my critters out on it. The wife doesn't like me shooting when her horse is out there...:laughing:

Guessing the horse is not named Silver.

When I bought my property, one of the first things I did was look for a safe place to shoot. I have a pond dam that is about 20 feet tall that I decided to use. Mowing the thing was a pain though!

In your pic your bucket looks to be a good 2feet off the ground, seems a bit high even going down hill... While having it high enough to not knock grass down I like to keep mine low enough that if something happens I an slam it down to stop my movement.

I do agree back stops are a good plan, logs and dirt work well and ravines are better when shooting into the high bank at downward trajectory.

I built a log wall and then laid logs in behind that down inside an old pond/ravine basin for mine.
