This week, I set up a new/used bench in our son's abandoned blueberry field and will be improving the backstop soon. A cover may also be forthcoming. Yesterday, I did some load testing, picking the time with the least wind/mirage. What a luxury, compared with packing all my gear and driving 10 miles or more to the club range.
The range is a half-mile from the house/neighbors, so shooting doesn't bother people or livestock. Right now, the backstop is a large boulder, but we'll add more material to make it even safer.
The area has been unusable for several months because of harvesting operations through the winter that damaged the access road, but it's now been re-graded to some extent. Picture is the view from the firing point. It's about 280 yards to the woods. We'll be setting up backstops at 100 and maybe at the woods line.
