Looks like a pretty place to have a range. Do you have a good back stop?

Looks good so far, now for the clean up. I built my 100 yard range when I had my pines thinned, just got them to take out a few extra rows. All I have to do is bush hog it a couple times of the year.

I'll be getting power line poles to use in my backstop.
Along with excess pine logs.
I'm building a 16 x 14 log cabin next to the shooting line using some of the logs. But they will be sitting for a year to properly season.

4 covered shooting lanes
2 picnic tables
BBQ grill
32 steel targets

Good deal, nothing like having your own range... I have found that my ammo doesn't last as long and I am constantly reloading! But that's okay, I enjoy reloading almost as much as shooting.

I know exactly how that strip of land smells and how the sap feels on your hands. Nice work.

Nice spot wish it was closer 😂. We did something like that once and rented a Bobcat to make a hill around an empty steel shipping container that we filled with rocks and dirt. Then took a bunch of logs and stacked them along the burr. Lots of fun times there. Enjoy!
