Got busy - made a range

[Deputy819]

That's 300 yard target off my porch

Yep, now that's awful 'purdy' right there.

Thanks it comes in handy these days

Now more than EVER, Sir. I'm grateful (and a little spoiled) to NOT have to go to a public range to test my hand-loads. But, admittedly I'm unable to shoot past 250 yards on my property and would have to go somewhere else to scratch the Longer Range itch..

That's as far as I can go here but I a buddy that has one to a grand
I'm grateful I got what I have also no public ranges for me anymore

 

[sturner]

I did this as well....over the last 3 days. Got a clear 200 yard shooting lane now right out the back door.

LOL! Good thing he missed. Turkey (and black) vultures are Federally protected.

You got a real pretty spot too

Nice to have a 'buddy' that's got something like that for sure! The farm next to me has 500 yard capability and a guy I work with owns it and is just getting started in hand-loading. Hopefully, he'll need some 'help' soon.

I scored an 800yd airstrip. I shoot there after my 100yd load developments. Only thing it's pretty fair weather. Can only go when it's dry. With all the rain and tiling in the fields it stays wetter longer.

Thank you, Sir! You can just barely see a steel target and a wooden target stand (concreted in the ground) in the photo. There's been A LOT of deer that hit the ground in that same spot as well. Nice when you can hunt from the house sometimes, too.

I bet before this is done a lot of guys will have ranges at home or near home
Haven't shot a deer but I have killed a several pigs

 

[Deputy819]

I'd say you were 100% correct on that one for sure!

If the city wouldn't mind...i could easily put a 1000 down the street in front of my place........

Think they may make an exception during a shelter in place?

I have 33 acres, so after Muddy's post, I went out back and it looks like I could comfortably get 200 yards across the back field. The limiting factor for me is some rolling terrain that would preclude getting more distance. I want to do it but I'm hesitant because my neighbors and I have spent a lot of time trying to cultivate habitat where deer feel safe on the property. Uncorking unsupressed, high powered rifles next to our food plots would probably be counterproductive.
