Heavy equipment was moved in last week that will be used for, in addition to other things, building a (raised?) road that does not get swallowed by swamp facilitating access - the range already exists.
-However-
It should be noted by all that this will NOT be a 'free for all' range. You skill set at longer range precision rifle will be established and demonstrated prior to being granted access OR you will be accompanied by a Talon approved instructor (at your expense) on a one-on-one basis.
This is not gospel handed down by the owners of Talon Range, LLC.
This is the gospel handed down by the Rangemaster charged with the day to day safe operation of the range as well as assuring the safety of the people on, and downrange of, the facility. In other words: Me.

Molary I like your way of thinking. Make sure they're zeroed correctly etc. I know when we used the LR at Otter Creek we had to show targets before allowed to the 300 yard trailer.
You gonna bark all day little doggy or you gonna bite?
Arc, we had thick wooden railroad cross ties on the ground of the 100/200 yard range. Had a high wall built too up near the head of the range to keep people from even being able to see over the top of the 200 yard berm - much less aim a shot. And some person still managed to shoot so short SEVERAL TIMES they were bouncing bullets into and over the top of the berm at 200.

I used to go to the Idian River Gun Range in Central FL and they had a culvert pipe set up like that. Out at the 100 yard berm there were 2 culvert pipes at the last 2 shooting lanes. The long range shooters would prove to the daily range master that they could stay on target at 100yds, then they were allowed to shoot the longer range. There was a small berm at 100yds that divided the last 2 lanes such that even the guy in the 3rd-to-last lane couldn't angle a round down into either of the pipes. Finally, there was a wall that went along the outside that allowed the long range guys to go address their targets without stopping other shooters. A nice set up. But yes, the big issue would be that the longer the range, the larger the pipe has to be.
