taken care of ..

Thank you.

Good idea. Not too late for a target board...

[PT7]

Have a suggestion, RR. Rather than target board, if you do set up a place to shoot from here, go for an AR500 steel target...or more than one. It's a lot of fun clanging & swinging this type of target rather than punching holes in paper (paper is okay to do, of course).

For your viewing pleasure, here is a short DIY video on how to build a stand to hang a steel target. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=ho ... ORM=VIREHT
Two outdoor ranges I go to have set ups similar to this. However, this one looks easier to build, and also is quite inexpensive after the purchase of your target.

BTW, there was no indication in the video info what firearm/ammo the guy would be using to demo his target. Just so happens he was shooting 1-oz slugs from a shotgun, which is most fun to shoot. I did that for a few years and enjoyed sending every slug down range! Anyway, an idea for your consideration.

Good for you, RR. We have an elevated deck on our place and it sees a lot of use. It's a great place to relax and breathe in fresh air. Enjoy.

[RanchRoper]

There won't be any shooting at home. We have a road nearby, so not legal.

Yes we are looking forward to new deck!

looks good man, and if you figure out the sideways things teach me because mine all always upside down

Found this explanation on GoDaddy.

Images might display sideways or upside down after uploading them to your website thanks to the picture being taken on a phone or camera that is in landscape mode. While most image viewers will automatically rotate the image to the correct orientation when viewing it, most internet browsers do not.

In order to change the orientation on an image, you will need to open the picture in a dedicated image editing software, rotate it to your desired orientation, then save the image and re-upload it onto your website.

In another photo forum, landscape mode is achieved by rotating your phone left or right from vertical. The picture can end posted upside down or right side up depending on which way you rotated the phone before taking the picture.

Latest progress. Fort Apache! The back half is closed in somewhat but open to the front. Lots of open area but can get out of the wind and weather.

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

Looking good. Will the rest of the front be closed in as well?

[RanchRoper]

No it is open to the front and then makes a right turn along the front of the house.

View from deck along front of house.

I really like that style .... Looks like a nice place to sit and relax and a wind break if needed.

[RanchRoper]

The rest of the deck will be some wrought iron railing between support columns once the roof is on the whole deck. The old deck had the iron railing likely from the 50's.

X2, it's designed and built for the north where RR lives. I think it would make an excellent Music Room to listen, play and get together
