I'll have gongs every 100, to 1000. And then 1200, 1500 and 1760 yards. Ordered steel this morning, 4-5 days to cut, then I'll be to bangin'.....

It just makes it easy to line up at known distances and let them go... And most shoot off the bench anyway, so not having to move it, works fine.

The few people who shoot at my little range are the ones that help out in iron and muscle. Life begins at 40. Recoil begins at "Over 40" Coincidence? I don't think so.

What a great range, beats walking them out and pounding T posts into the desert. I'll bet it's hard to walk or drive past w/out shooting something. mike r Don't wish it were easier Wish you were better Stab them in the taint, you can't put a tourniquet on that.

An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool. the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both.
