Also built 2 new wood tables, to put ammo and everyone's junk on, and 2 new gun racks that each hold 14 guns, waiting on new chairs and over head cover, next step is sand the old red wood floor and refinish it's 15 yrs old and really needs it, should have everythng finished in about 2 weeks if we don't have a bunch more rain.

Sharpsman, Every thing you say is true, and we know it, almost all of our shooting is done in the morning when it's cool and hopfully before the wind picks up, it's very hard to build the perfect gun range, in our case we work with what we have, we can't put the sun were we would like it to be, or get the wind to blow just a little bit, take another close look and you will see some of the steel is low some is high some is small some is large, we try to fix it so the people shooting on this range #1 are safe #2 have a good time #3 are successful, i'm not to worried about marige. Rio7
P.S. Thank you all for your comments. OUTSTANDING! Possibly I missed the location! Where??
Even birds know not to land downwind!

Still working on our gun range, I've got every thing done execpt putting up the wind flags and am still waiting on the chairs, it's working out real well for the few of us here on the ranch, it will get a hell of a work out in hunting season. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/da1AUX8.jpg) 6 Shooting tables ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/rQ8kP1P.jpg) View from spotters chairs ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/Kct8Fsg.jpg) Blue pig at 1000y rds looking to 1800 yrds

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

The Vets y'all host will have a grand time wringing out their rifles before their hunt.
We'd love to see those pics in a few months as well!
Thanks!

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
