SEE you made more work for yourself . Now you will have to trim that tree on the left to shoot the 47 yards

Get you one tomorrow, dark now. Crow
I was risking death by unga bunga by trimming what I already did. Might have to move a post. Now that wouldn’t save no marrage. I’m trying to abstain from more work. I just spent 1 1/2 hrs picking up ground targets and screwing down on this frame.

I also shoot on rainy days , the screen porch is above me and runs full length of the house 16 yards , then range out to 50 total yards
I will take a picture as soon as i get it cleaned up

Thanks, Had to go out to reload a few tins, took this shot. Just a covered porch. I pulled the blind down, bought for shooting. It ties down at bottom. Stops wind in winter, big time bonus. I bought to stop sun in summer. Money well spent.

That's all you need ! Love to have a range. Not possible living in my city (12K population) while IThanks, Had to go out to reload a few tins, took this shot. Just a covered porch.

Nice, Crow! Good post. Thanks for sharing pics and talking about it. Those Brunswick feet are awesome. My bench is a Black and Decker Workmate.

Thanks. The feet actually make a big difference.
That B&D table is a work of art. Another great use. Almost as handy as duck tape. Crow
That’s the $64,000.00 question. Heat. The wind is the biggest killer. The blind I bought for the sun, it ties at bottom and stops wind from north which is my problem. If wind is too strong I just don’t shoot. The abominable snowman wouldn’t sit there. You know what I ‘m talking about, I think you have the same weather.
My range is wider, so I pivot on the table. Makes it harder to direct the heat.
I just layer my clothing. Biggest problem is my left hand which is exposed for loading. I just go inside 20 feet away to thaw. Coffee fixes, repeat.
Nite shooting in winter is absolutely the best. Everything is white and bright except your targets, and beyond is pitch black. I’m trying to set up lites so I just flick a switch instead of plugging in and setting up. No end. Crow

How about buying / building a temp shelter? An enclosed space you can shoot out of with a propane heater is awesome. Broke out the shanty and heater last week, was great. A collapsable plywood built or a turnkey shanty is the answer. Something like this.

Crowski, I hope you give thanks for your blessings before you crawl into bed at night. That's a setup many of us can only dream about!

I’m surprised the main squeeze is letting me keep the table up permanently. The tent wouldn’t save the marriage. I wear a thermal work pant with bib, Carhartt and if needed a thick bath towel over my knees. It works for an hour. If it doesn’t the door is near by.
You have a shelter don’t you?
How long do you stay in at a time?
Crow
It’s a real fluke that it happened. Thanks Crow

I do give thanks and unfortunately feel the aches and pains as well.

maxtrouble we used to use a gas heater in our little caravan until someone told us that we ran a very high risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. I hope you have lots of ventilation in that confined space.

The front of the shanty has two big shooting openings. Plenty of fresh air. We patched up the floors fishing holes but air still circulates. Not the best of jobs but it keeps the inside temps above sixty degrees, no gloves needed.

I think I remember pics of yours last year. Made me drool. No gloves, I have to reconsider.
Do you leave it set up all winter?

The shanty takes about five minutes to setup and take down. It is only a foot wide and half a sheet of plywood long when folded up. I will take more pics this weekend.
We also use an "indoor rated" propane heater to avoid carbon monoxide.
