I ordered more gravel and lined the front and back of the target stop. Still have to paint it but for the most part it is done. Next up is to finish the bench.
That is 14 yards of 5/8 minus. I've already used and moved 36 ton of half man rock.
Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.

Re: Backyard Range Progress
Looking good. Have you been doing any shooting while you work on it?
I'm in the process of re-sighting in all our air guns for 35 yard work. Most of them had been used indoors, over the winter, and sighted in for 10 meter work. When I move back to 50 yards, I'll just use whatever hold over I need, rather than mess with the sights, again. Too many guns to be constantly playing with the sights.
Will leave some of the iron sighted guns adjusted for 10 meter work, though, because I setup some spinner targets at 10 meters from our deck where visibility is good. Because I still have to contend with shadows in the main target area, tough to use iron sights at 35 yards, anyway. Still working on that issue.

Re: Backyard Range Progress
Heavy lifting. It's a great work in progress.
As NCG said, I hope you are shooting in between working sessions.

Re: Backyard Range Progress
Good Job... Lot of work to make things look nice, and keep them that way.
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.

Re: Backyard Range Progress
I haven't been shooting at that range but instead just plinking at the side range with a BB gun. I still need to finish the shooting bench.
