Long over due range project

[Hoppy]

Finally got round to completing the new rifle range this afternoon, our last one was in a ride in some woodland but the winter storms we have been getting have destroyed the small shooting shelter we had. Bought an old cable drum and have cut out a section to get good access to shoot from and doubles as a seat, sanded the top, routed the edges (because why not) and weather proofed it, now have a good shooting platform with targets out to 380m with plenty of backstop!

Let’s see what others have at their ranges any handy hacks for shelters, rests targets etc.
A moving target would be great fun for a practice.

Did you make the seat leg or is it off the shelf? Looks really good

I however cheated but i have about 6 different spots i like to practice or just fancy banging some steel so i opted for a more mobile set up.

Lovely rifle. The more I use my composite tikka, the more I love a nice wooden stock.
