Backyard Range Progress

Post by Sir Henry » Wed Aug 09, 2017 12:51 pm

I chalked the gaps between the boards and need to paint it again. I also need to put gravel at the base. But the big problem will be to address safety. Currently there is nothing to stop someone from walking in from the left side and they can not be seen from the shooting bench when back to 25 yards. I need to put a barricade or sign there to warm people the range is hot.

I like the pipe wrench saw grasshopper sculpture.

Hey, I see some flamingos, too. Why am I not surprised? :)

Seriously, though, very attractive range. Makes mine look pretty crude.

I can't wait to use it more but that will need to wait till I finish the shooting bench.

Very Nice... What color are you thinking for the fence?
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Perfect taupe is the current color of the house and I have extra paint left over.
