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.

P.S. Thank you all for your comments.

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.

Id sure like to shoot on either Rio's or Don's range.

Great job, both of you

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!

A great looking range!


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.
