I have a place to shoot at my Dad's place in East-Central Indiana that's not too bad. It has a downhill slope with a woods at the bottom and the opposite slope on the other side of the woods. There are some old 3 to 4 foot dirt mounds just before the woods. Plus there isn't another house in that direction for at least 3 miles.
I would still like to have another bullet-stop besides the uphill slope/Dirt mounds, something closer (the uphill slope is probably 500-600 yards).
For plinking with a .22 rifle and handgun calibers, I was thinking about getting some cheap plastic trash cans and building a stop 3 or 4 wide x 2 deep and filling them with dirt/sand. Question is, will this be sufficient for .22 and 9mm at 50 yards? Or do I need to go 3 or 4 deep?
