My club has a small 150yd range in need of repair. The backstop and hill behind the backstop are badly worn and need to be rebuilt. We are planning to truck in sand to build a berm against the worn down hill. It's been suggested that we alternate layers of sand and old tires. The tires are supposed to anchor the sand and minimize erosion.
Is this still the accepted way to build a berm? Is there a more politically correct construction method for stabilizing the berm other than using tires?
