Things are happening fast
Today I did some more stuff for the field target club. I made these bow ties to wind up the strings.
I found 600 yards of yellow and orange Dacron .
I made the targets for the sight in range.
I have three of the five public use targets that will be permanently placed at the range.
And I got the numbers for the lane marked printed up
Tomorrow after work I’ll get the wood to build the shooting bench.
Sunday I’ll build the bench.
Saturday morning I’ll be starting construction of the airgun range.

Ten rat targets all modified and ready to go. Plus spray paint and tools.
I have all the sight in range targets made and I made all the string spools .

I’ll get 600 yards of Dacron next week.

I also made the lane markers. I am going to put a three foot 2x4 painted white in the ground. Then put the poles on each side. That will be the entrance to each lane. There will also be a pole with a flat platform that holds the timers.

Tomorrow is the ground breaking. I am going to start laying out the corse.

Today in history!!!
The construction of and airgun range and field target course has begun at the West Liberty gun club in West Liberty Iowa.
Still a lot to do both in the shop and with the club and on the sight but progress is moving really fast.

I cut 165 yards for the sight in range. Cleared the tall grass and mulched the path. It is clear all the way to the treeline. Really an ideal location.

Now I have to build the shooting bench and tomorrow I’ll deliver that and cut the firing lanes. After that it just some legality’s and I can set up targets and signs.
