[QUOTE="jollyrancher, post: 4111070, member: 48430"] What I like about pcc's is they don't destroy steel targets and allow more flexibility on the range. I wanted a place where I can move around and engage targets. I started a range, more like a course, on one of my farms last spring. There is a dry creek with trees running several hundred yards that has a cliff on one side. As long as you shoot to the south or west, the cliffs will catch the stray bullets. Plan is to load it down with steel plates suspended from tree limbs using rope and cut up straps from a round baler. We're talking lots of plates scattered down the entire length that you have to walk through and engage at different spots. I have about a quarter of it built, but there is already enough targets that I can blow through 200 rounds in no time. To build this with ar 500 plate would cost a fortune. Plus most shots are under 80 yds. Trees are a strip of about 40 yds so that keeps it pinched down on range. I am using 1/2 and 3/8 mild steel cut in varying sized squares, most are about 8 in by 8 in. Between the type of steel and distance, ar's in rifle calibers are a no go. They'd destroy my targets. I have an aero epc9 that I shoot on it. It works great for the situation. Allows mag change manipulations just like its bigger brothers, handles the same... good training. Another plus is if you run suppressed. Rifles get the suppressor hot, fast. It takes many more rounds to get the can on a 9mm to burn you. I practice dropping my slinged pcc and drawing my sidearm. Damn muffler always ends up on your pant leg, but I don't have any burn marks on my pants. Oh, and some will say a .22 would work in the 9mm's place. Umm, no. Zero recoil with a .22. Double taps are child's play. There is no training for recoil recovery. [/QUOTE]
