When your grand kids grow up..

you turn their fort into a shooting range.
90% of this build is from the wood I recycled from the fort, I years ago built for my grand sons.
I put wheels on it, so I can move it to mow etc.
In addition to the wood backing, I used 2) 4x8 horse matts to quite it down.
The old roof is now used to catch any errant pellets.

Hehe pretty neat.
BUT ! i would never get there as i have not fathered any kids, i am told that require that you try at least, and TBH i have not done that as i am extremely picky about people not least ones i would have a profound relationship with.
In 55 years i have only found 1 i can call a friend,,,, and it is not that my standards are extremely high, cuz of course i can not ask for more than i am willing to give myself.

That is so cool. My wife was actually talking about building a portable backstop and I told her I'd seen this. Soon as it cools off around here (mid-October probably) I think I have a project. Thanks for posting.

One year later!
Turns out my oldest grandson(13 years old) is a crack shot!
He shot old spray paint cans and the small model paint bottles @ 100 yards.
He also knows that at 50 yards it takes just over 50 shots to go all the through a dryer (tumbler included, he shot it from the side).
I have a catch tarp at the bottom, it gets pulled up to cover the mess when not in use.

Please explain the "When not in use" part. Airgunners shoot all the time. Nice setup. Lol.
