Your making me jealous, winter is taking over here in michigan and outdoor shooting is less appealing.

Looks like a lot of space though. Build yourself a nice trench? Lighting, space heater & you are set!

The underground range concept is very appealing to me. I've got the space for it, and could even dig it myself....but when I priced out the pipe I just couldn't justify it. I figured 18 inch pipe at an absolute minimum, to account for wiggle room and a trajectory of a 20ish fpe pellet out to 50 yards. Bigger diameter only made it harder to justify ($$$). Two nails in the coffin to that idea. First was when I trenched for the sprinkler system and the trenches had standing water in them the next morning, so water table is really high. Second was the flooding in the fields next to me from heavy summer monsoon rains. Both of which made me realize that pumping out the water from a wind-free accuracy testing setup under ground every time I wanted to use it would be pretty miserable.

Dawn liquid dish soap helps remove poison ivy oils from your skin. Wash with it regularly. The blue stuff.
Works as well as tecnu but way cheaper.

Been using Dawn 4X every day for the last month but no relief. I've had a problem with poison ivy all my life and a cortisone shot has been my only relief. The only reason I haven't got the shot is that I'm greedier than the doctors who want to charge me an arm and a leg for it.

An update: My new range will still be a thing, however, there was a setback. The guy that was building the fence, took off with about $5K that I paid him to build the fence. So far, I have recovered $2K. Probably early to mid Summer before I can start building the actual range

Christian that’s a real bummer. I got the same feeling in my gut when I read this as when someone stole my car years ago. Hope you get all your money back soon.An update: My new range will still be a thing, however, there was a setback.

@intenseaty22, what a bummer, to have to deal with the BS that unscrupulous contractor presented you with. Hoping you recover the rest of your money. Good luck.
