The clean fill gives a great visual report on .22 slugs. 450 yards or 25 with a 7ftlb .177, It’s fun either way. 

My property consists of 21 acres or mostly airgun dedicated land. I have set up some fine benchrest and Field target events on it. There is are a few cool videos floating on the Net that depicts the Field Target and Benchrest courses.

They are named:

Yes LD, you have a most beautiful range.Love it

I don't have a range out the back door, but this is a picture of the local conservation club range tonight. I rousted these two deer off of their beds behind that bank when I started shooting at the 175 yard turkey silhouette. It was like their dinner bell, as the deer proceeded to eat their way across the lawn as I continued to shoot 100, 175, and over them to 235 yards. They ate unphased by me or the powder burner guys shooting at this pavilion.

Wow,

Thanks for the edit to include those video links! I just dunno how to do stuff like that!

When I retired, one of my big hobbies was shooting airguns competitively, and I declared I would try to move to a place I could shoot right on my own place (beyond the roughly 13yds I had in my back yard at the time) .

First thing once I had the house settled and garage built was to trench and build a 51 yard underground testing tunnel, which I felt was needed to study the intrinsic accuracy of guns I had, as well as to test the Field target gun I had designed on paper, but was just beginning to gather tools and materials to build in my new garage/shop.

It's kept me out of the titty bars.

I have targets set up some of everywhere closest 14 yards(under bench)and farthest 123 yards(cowbell and frying pan).Everything else is 25,30,35,40,45,52,58,and 67

freak-eye.......You need more cowbell

Here's a few pics of mine - took these pics after sighting in a bottle build -

It needs a lot of tlc right now, but we had some nice weather here yesterday in LA (Lower Antioch)

will need to break out the wire brush, WD 40, and spray paint pretty soon

It's 50 yards from here to the backstop too dark to see in earlier pic. A new sitting position 5 yards behind gives me 55 yards, note the chair crushed by deadfall -

PeaceOut

Great ideas and Some very nice places to shoot. Thats what airgunning is all about.

Actually spent most of the day shooting yesterday. Had to re sight in my gun as I had it apart testing the Huma plenum prototype, and after the 30 wildcat was done, I threw my 25 WC on to make sure it was dead on. RANGUR1 had sent me some Hayde’s to try on my 25, and man oh man they were accurate. Highly guessing I had them going at around 940 FPS. Totally surprised me as I’ve never ever shot them.

Shooting out my front lawn from inside the comfort of my garage. The target set up is out at an accurate 40 yards. If I set up to my fence I can get out to 75 yards, and if I need more yardage I just head out to the back yard.

Any home range that has 50yds at the minimum is my ideal of a nice shooting yardage. You guys have nice setups I'm jealous 

We have an out building on the property and I use one room of it for my gun stuff. Gets too hot in Louisiana to shot outside in the summer, so I just crank up the AC and shot out of the window. If I rotate the aim 45 degrees left I have 200 yards.

 

Old (Redneck) shooting stand,new shooting stand at 100 yards. Notice the seasonal difference 

I’ll submit mine again from just last evening.

It’s a set up and take down range. Sometimes it just a simple set of dots drawn on cardboard or it could be a bunch of different reactive targets set up at various distances.

Greenarrow I’d watch those tail lights on that Ute of yours
