100 yard setup!

[Scotty1]

I finally got my 100 yard range set up! Just in time for the wind to pick up, but my wind app predicts low wind for tomorrow…

 

It actually measures 99.8 yards, but I can move my bench further back in my garage, maybe I’ll add a small overhang to keep the targets dry.

That looks great. Looking forward to seeing some 100 yard groups. Is that a rubber mat or steel backstop?

Now that is sweet! Like the idea of an overhang too, makes it an all-weather range. Well, most weather anyway

Enjoy the heck out of it!

Very nice setup. The overhang is a great idea. The wind will always be an issue so extra reactive targets are good to have when you cant soot for groups. Can’t wait til i move so i can build my own.

Looks like loads of fun, lucky guy !!

Install some lighting at the targets and you can use it at night. Wind is almost always dead still at night.

Awesome set up. I'm still figuring out if there is any way I could get a 100 yard range on my property, but it seems like I max out at only around 70 yards.

Your pellet and air usage will shoot up. Very nice.

It is a 3/4” recycled rubber stall mat from Tractor Supply, it weighs close to 100 pounds. I’ve only shot it with 18s so far, I suppose if I get a lot of penetration, I can beef up the frame, and add a 2nd mat. I actually have some usb powered led strips, and several rechargeable power banks. It is nice and quiet, so night shooting if definitely gonna happen!

Nice tractor! Is that a Massey Fergusson? I have one like it. Oh, and nice range also.

Yes! A Massey Ferguson GC 2400, love that thing! It’s the nicest vehicle I own. 

 

[Stretch]

Yep, I'd recognize a GC2400 anywhere. Perfect tool for a small farm like ours.

Congrats! A lot of us with limited space can only dream.

Awesome range! Enjoy shooting!

Nice! How's the stall mat holding up? Do you get a lot of pellets bouncing back?

 

[douger]

I’m not sure about longevity yet, only 100 rounds or so sent. As far as rebound goes, I doubt it, I think they are penetrating, but I’ll know better when I change targets later. If they are bouncing off, it’s 50 yards from the back of my house, and 100 yards from my bench, so no real worries there.
