[QUOTE="257wby, post: 1907598, member: 9582"] So a couple years ago I built a shooting bench and set it at 200 yards in a pasture of ours. What a bonehead idea! I spent tonight moving the "permanent" bench. Each leg is set 2 1/2 feet and the seat supports are 18".It was well worth it thought, because now I have a 550 yard range. Tomorrow night i'm going set targets at every 100 yards. I plan on making them out of 1" plywood and t-posts. One of my buddies can get all of the 1" plywood he want's so that is why I'm going with the thick stuff. I also made my first gong. It's a 10" round ar500 3/8" plate. The bottom of the plate is 30" off the ground to simulate a deer kill zone. I was able to make this for around $45. Anyways I will be updating as the range progresses. Here is a pic of the shooting bench/range and my gong.
