I'm sure we will shoot all pistol calibers and .22 ammo . It's only setup for 25 yards . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 So what is the shooting order? Outside, outside, inside, inside, middle? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 FYI, here are examples of the frames and shrouding we are mandated to use on our ranges here in Ontario, Canada. Transmission belting is screwed the inside wood frame to aid stopping splatter. Steel is AR400 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 At least 47 targets right off my deck - most of them between about five and twenty yards from the farthest shooting position. There are five plates on a rack left of center at the bottom of the hill, the farthest ones you can actually see in the pic, at around thirty five yards, and two pressure tank gongs farther up the hill at around sixty or so. You'd think I'd be better at this game. Panoramic view, so somewhat distorted - they're in more of a shallow U shape, not all in a straight line. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you could if you really wanted, but some neighbors might find it annoying. But who’s gonna walk over and complain to a 6’-4” guy in a fringed leather jacket and cowboy hat, while he’s blazing and booming away in his yard with a brace of .44 cap and ball pistols, filled with 33 gr of Goex in each cylinder - and a bottle of Basil Hayden with shot glass on the patio table. l’d drive down for that! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Our property is landlocked with other properties that have there houses on the sides distant from our property lines.

Gungadin Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 The Chinese 177 air rifle is the tool of choice for certain environments. Put the wheel barrow under the birdfeeder and do some squirrel management. The cheapest gun I own has done the most animal management by far. Now by weight it loses. Kids think the dog is really crafty catching them squirrels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
