My new gun range

[Podman]

I gave myself a new christmas present this year. I have been needing a place to store some of my junk, as my garage
and house is getting kind of loaded up after 35 years here!. So to kill two birds with one stone, I got a 40 ft. cargo container
and an Ocken bullet trap. One to store junk in and also to have a pistol range in my backyard. I am still working on it but
shot my first few rounds today. I think it's going to work out ok for me. I still need to do some work on it but believe I am going to really like it. I have enclosed a few pics of it.

Have you got the walls covered as well as ceiling and floor? Neat

Love the idea!

It's gotta be loud in there! Much worse than an indoor range?

Suppressor friendly.

Yes it's loud, real loud. I will have to work on getting some sound insulation etc. It's a work in progress, so I haven't worked out all the details yet. But with earmuffs it's not so bad, just hope
the neighbors don't complain about the noise!

Where does one buy one of these things and what do they cost? I'm not interested in a gun range but I'm wondering if they're cheaper than another metal building.

About 6-7 grand for one in great shape if I remember right.
