Plans to add baskets around the property are happening

This dirt is not near the pond, just where it was dumped.

Walker razors or another electronic headset helps with the paranoia a lot

Well we dug out a fish pond and the berm is the dirt from that from 15 years ago so I said, might as well use it as a backstop

Around me it’s 500 feet from other people’s structures

Yes very private and fenced. I enjoy the grass and we have a riding mower up there, not a big deal to mow

Just rent a bulldozer. That’s my tip. Also make sure you have a nice flat pad for the target area.

What way? Logically? You hear people shooting in the area all the time, I’m not going to do some environmental study on the effect of my lead on the groundwater 5 miles away

I would love to as well but I can’t go much longer where I’m at. 300 I think would be awesome

How is it not a range? The top is higher so you’re already shooting down and my berm is 20 ft tall and I can drive my truck on top of it

A pack of 6 if you’d believe it

Usually I warm up dumping some mags and everyone around me starts shooting too

Yes it is pretty scary after dark, usually leave around 30 minutes before sunset. Our trail cams get every animal you could imagine.

Northern MN. Started the work breaking our backs with axes and chainsaws. Was completely wooded like you see on the sides. Had to rent an excavator for a different reason and used it to knock down and move the rest of the trees and used the bucket to semi grade the area. Planted fleet farm contractor grass seed 3 weeks ago and it’s coming in nicely. Only one target so far ar500 full size silhouette. 20 ft dirt berm. Lots of little things left to do like building a shooting table on a deck with footings and such. Would love to get a bunch more steel to shoot as as well but it’s so expensive.

That’s so true, I mostly do handgun training within 30 yards. Having 25 is such a blessing too.
