Range work


Recommended Posts

du338Mk.jpgThought  I would share.   Got the range behind the house cut back the 110yards. It was hot as hell and the misquotes damn near sucked me dry.  Hoping to have a clean shot at least 200 yards eventually.  I am ordering new steel targets and going to put 6 inches of mulch down. I built the berm on the property line but when I was finished the neighbor walked down to see if I was building a house or something.  He took a look at the berm and said I should have shot into his mountain.  If you look behind the berm there is a mountain but I wanted to stop the bullets at the line.  The mountain is about 100 yards behind the berm so I should have a 300 yard shot when I’m done with about 60 yards of mulch to roll around and to practice drills.

Very nice and 100 plus yds is very nice .

Ours (my mate and i ) built this last month for our 50 yd range .

Its on a 11 degree slope in a valley. So the platform reduced that to about 6 degree

Very nice.  It’s nice to have friends that share interest.  This is a private range that has become a public range.  It’s getting to the point that I don’t know everyone that shoots there.  I have ran into people that live a few towns over.  Nobody has permission to shoot but I don’t call the law on trespassers.  I don’t give permission because The Land owner protection act only protects land owners from trespassing and hunters.  Target shooting is not outlined in the law.

Isn't that armed trespass your side of the pond? If not that's mental, you can just wonder on to someone's land, shoot without permission, only as long as your paper punching? 

Oh it is if I would call the law.  Trespassing is illegal but I don’t mind. The land owner protection act is a law they says you can not sue a landowner if you get hurt on their property.  It doesn’t protect landowners from guest or customers.  So we don’t give people permission to shoot, but we don’t run them off.

This just came across Facebook timehop.  It was when we built the range. We had a range car to practice drive by shooting.  My cousin is screaming Aloha Snackbar!  We are not Muslim.  https://www.facebook.com/trevor.payne.98/videos/531463693575451?s=100000549832687&sfns=mo

The range car died because Honda put a computer under the front seat in a hole knowing damn well someone was going to cut the roof off that thing.  The rain puddled up under the seat a killed it.

I'm not sure you'd meet the standards of getting a firearms licence in the UK 🤣

Love the k&n sticking out from the bonnet (front right) 😅

Are you saying complete strangers turn up on your property, with a load of guns and just use your target range that you built? 

 

Cheeky illegitimates. Tell them to give you some money towards it!
