Me and a friend Just wrapped up a shooting range project. With winter behind us all we need is the rain to let up for a second and we will be getting good use out of it. We could only get 450 yards out of it, but it will do. We equipped it with a fold down shooting table, AC , fridge and double doors for shooting prone. Although we are both novice reloaders we plan to change that this summer with the press a few feet away.

OUTSTANDING!

Very cool! I love having a loading bench ten feet from my zero line. But I don't have AC or a fridge....yet. I will before summer gets here, though.

Thanks, but I would trade the AC for another 500 yds in a Heartbeat!

Yeah AC is easy. Another 500 yards is difficult.

Thank yall for the compliments. We are pleased with how it turned out. I am itching to get out there and put some serious trigger time in. BTW does anyone know of a good source for steel targets?
