Are these available to the public? I haven't been able to find a website or price structure. We shoot mostly 12fpe and under at the club. One of our regulars shoots at 10.5fpe, me at 11.5fpe. Will the targets reliably fall to 3fpe strikes? The long range ft capabilities are unnecessary. 

Thanks though and if I ever find the unicorn gun club or land owner willing to allow a long range ft course my interest in buying more than a target or two will change.

How do you cross an icy bridge?

Make another from snow.

And a plank

This creek creates a natural border between course 1, and the currently crowning course 2. Today Matt Brackett, Leo Gonsales, Matt Sawyer and I drove posts and climbed ladders to get targets set on 14/17 lanes. 

You may think us foolish for working in the snow, and rightly so. The advantage for us is that 2/3 of the course is in a swamp. I don't know about you, but if you've tried getting things done in a thawed swamp, the option of waiting for it to freeze is the one to take. 

There aren't anymore pictures though there are a few short videos showing the original, and new course on Instagram at #mrafieldtarget
 
What a difference a couple weeks can make.

Yesterday I spent the afternoon setting the shooters boxes, running line between them and making upreset strings. View attachment IMG_20220318_205329_625.1647702430.jpg

We have two more lanes to clear and set targets on. Other final touches will be removing stumps and clumps from the path and raking up other debri. Running the strings is the final, and likely most enjoyable task. 

It's almost there. We will have a break-in match next Saturday. It should be a lot of fun.
