[QUOTE="carter, post: 1915003, member: 11634"] i have shot at ranges that offered low back stops and little thickness of dirt. i have shot at ranges with 20 feet tall berms that were several feet thick. i decided to make my own range .... i had a dozer reroute a creek. this allowed me to be about 15 higher than the targets and shoot downward. i placed targets whereever there was a solid wall of the old creek bank behind the target. i picked the area so no rocks are present. i used pine lumer for the target holders and for the uprights for the metal spinners so they would scatter bullets as little as possible. i put out 6 paper target holders. i drilled holes into 4*4's cut rebar to 4 feet lengths drilled holes at ends and in about 4 inches. cut 1 inch pipe to 3 inches long welded pieces of steel to the pipe slid pipe on the rebar add washers on each side cotter key to keep each in place thesse are for 22's. hung 2 pieces of heavy steel under target frames at 100 and 125 yeards for high powers. that is my range [/QUOTE]
