    I had the idea to build pistol/rifle range for the last year and I finally acquired everything I needed to do so.

    I am able to shoot 200 Yards at all of these steel plates.

    The Full size Torso, 2 8" circles, and 12" circle on the right side are all Bobcat Steel products.
    The left side is steel that was given to me as a present from my brother for Christmas. They were made by a company in Texas so i'm interested to see how they will hold up to Bobcat Steel.
    All targets are 3/8" AR500 Steel.

    Wow

    Looks like you have a great brother, and a nice place to shoot.

    My INGO friends and I will all stop by tomorrow (no need to make lunch for all of us.)

    Hope you have plenty of parking space. ;)

    The big Question issss, will you have enough bullets for all the fun. Even tho I reload I would have a hard time staying away from the fun. Really nice tho,tough to find good places to shoot in N.W. in.

    Looks fun. However, maybe it is just the angle of the pic, but it looks like you don't have much of a backstop, and are essentially shooting over the top of a valley beyond those trees. Be safe!

    Thanks for all the compliments. I'm pleased with how it turned out and it must be the angle of the pic because behind the setup is a hill, and about 600 yards of cornfield past our land.

    Now I need to come up with some other targets to fill in the gaps!

    Always jealous of these.

    Ditto, would love to go out on my own land to pop off a few. Gets old going to ranges, paying the fee, dealing with other people. Maybe when I get enough equity in my house and save a little, my next house will have some land. OP, enjoy it!
