Range Report: berm test

I took a few scoops of dirt from where my campfire pit will be and dumped it behind the gongs at 50 yards. Then I plunked for an hour. Ten minutes worth of work and an hour of testing. I think that is about right.

I need to make a few dozen more scoops to get the berm high enough.

Off to a good start. Make sure you keep the work to testing ratio the same.
Testing proves out the concept and assures the final product.

This it a telephoto view from the shooting line. The front targets are at 25 and the distance targets are at 50 yards.

Where are you getting the dirt from Gene? Are you still going to dig down also in front of the berm?

I will some but only with a hand shovel. I’m getting the dirt from the backyard where my camping fire pit will go.

It will define the space instead of just having it in a big yard.
