A friend built a berm to shoot into. He owned his own loader and was very good at it. Not exactly sure how "deep" the berm was, but since we shoot only accurate rifles, we literally drilled a hole through it! It was winter, the soil frozen, and we were surprised to go change targets and see through the berm.

Any decent operator can scrape up enough material for a berm.

My first berm was about 6 feet tall and 10 feet wide. It worked fine for decades.

My current berm is about 8 feet tall and 25 feet wide. A true ricochet is not much of a danger, the bullet bleeds energy rapidly.

The States range down the road is only about 20 feet high, but that takes a lot of material.

A modest berm is fine if you exercise good judgement.


Ignorance is not confined to uneducated people.
