FINALLY got to cutting a new path today and got the way cleared for the 500+ yard range :banana: . This will be a nice improvement for the PR classes as now we will be able to range AND shoot targets out past 500 yards right from the front yard. No more going down the road...

All that is needed now is for me to get off my butt and build a platform, like the ones at the 200 and 300 yard mark, to complete the improvements. Guess I'll have to pony up for some more steel as well.

The 200 and 300 lanes will still be used for standing support/barricade shooting and the inclined/confined space shooting.

I had to actually stop James... he wanted to cross the road and go further west to get to 700-800 yards... while it's VERY DOABLE as the property line goes back a ways, I just was NOT in the mood for a full days work of cutting trees...lol. If the rains ever stop, maybe I'm game for it as it's a simple task of cut and drag... but for now and the near future, what we did today is more than adequate.

When all is finalized, I should be at or about 550 +/-....

I'm confused? Cross the road? Is this in a different direction?

Of course your confused, monkeys don't have thumbs.

In all reality, 550 should be more than adequate for teaching. Now 700 would be damned cool

No... you remember the big BOX out by the tractor shed? We were going to use the top of it as a platform, kind of like the way they built the tower at Legion just a hell of a lot smaller...lol.

Well... from there, we went straight to the southeast cutting out across the field towards the east side property line... turned out it was quite flat and super easy to clear. The new platform will be right there at the tractor shed one I get all that ground cloth up from the old green house project. We are going to clean all that up and move the two trailers and the old bronco.

The road the hunt camp is on is the road I am referring to... our property goes a considerable ways back across the road from the tractor shed to the west.... he wanted to extend back westward but with the water between there and the high ground, I said hell no... not now... too damn much work for now.

I'll need to get mapper out there when it's time... I'll need him to shoot me a line so I don't wander off course...

So you're going to build a new berm on the opposite end of the current berm? We'll be shooting back towards the rooftop box?

No... shooting from the box area to the east/southeast almost as parallel to I-10 as the 200/300 but due to the way I-10 runs, the distance, and the woods, no danger or risk.

Just let me know..even if it is flags tied up in trees or a couple of markers so you can extend it out at a later time..

I would REALLY like to see what I can do with that single shot rifle past 300..
Whether it is in PR 2, or custom reload 2
:veryhappy: :yourock:
