As some of you may or may not know, I recently moved from Hawaii to Texas. Hawaii was a beautiful to live, but a very hard place to make a living ($$$$). My wife and I bought a small house on some acreage south of Austin. Here we plan on raising our daughter, getting back on track financially, and enjoying all that Texas has to offer (like great BBQ).
Originally I had designed an open air shooting pad, but I quickly realized that I would be dealing with a fair bit of weather, so I decided to go with what I will call a "shooting shed".
I started by choosing a fairly flat spot and then added some piers
Then the frame
And the floor
Then the pre-fab walls
Roof
Windows and doors
And finished it off with a table, chair, and some storage
Now I've got a clean 50 yard shooting range and I'm on to the next project... a projectile backstop.
