New Basement Range
I put my range in the basement this past week. It's portable. I used the Discovery to shoot at it.
The rangefinder says it's 12 yards max distance.

That's a great idea, Dave .... I really like that.
Is the backstop a piece of carpet?
It's perfect for the days when going outside just isn't an option.

I'm just a bit confused, though. What do you do with all the breakers while shooting?

Re: New Basement Range
Dave, that's ingenious. Love the idea of being able to close things up. Our basement range is now pretty much a permanent fixture unless I want too do a lot of work to put everything away.

Re: New Basement Range
Wish I had a basement. Best I can do is open a window and shoot from it. Speaking of which the window to shoot from is also the computer/hobby room which is now cleared. If the wind dies down just a tad I might just plink.

Re: New Basement Range
Excellent use of a panel box. I would love to have a full basement to shoot in.

Re: New Basement Range
I missed this thread somehow, but VERY COOL Dave.......
There is nothing like being able to shoot anytime you want, and 12 yards is a decent distance for airguns.
Basements are so useful; we don't have them here in Florida so nobody has pool tables................
