Keep it up Ken and have fun doing it.
Nice little shooting lane you have there nomojo65, it beats shooting 20-25 yards all the time and it gives you a better opportunity to see what other pellet weights will do at a greater distance.

Last weekend two of my brothers and I ended up shooting at the 4” ar500 steel plate at 100 yards with the HMx .30 and JSB 44.75 ammo and it got to the point that we got tired of shooting it, doesn’t even feel like a challenge anymore, need to set up a longer shooting lane for the 30 cal maybe a 125-150-175-200 yard lane, what a bad problem to have hahaha and the Bully .30 has no problem hitting 100 yards either but the RAW is so much quieter and smother.
old pic but I like it.

Man that’s a AWESOME shooting range you have Imold! I know your having fun... ya it’s nice to be able to shoot in your own yard but I wanted to be safe so I felt better mounding a dirt berm behind target frame plus don’t want to anger the neighbors..., it’s not perfect but will do!

It’s more then a lot of folks have and it looks nice, it’s more then I had when I started out, I had about 20-25 yards but then last spring I ended up buying 12.7 acres for when we retire so that’s the only reason I have my own range now.
I have a mile or more of trees and swamp behind my targets and no homes so I’m lucky there, I can also shoot my High Power rifles without worrying to much and I also check before I shoot just to make sure there are no people, vehicles or tractors back there taking out dead fall but other then that it’s pretty quite.

Imold: nice range setup! I like it a lot and am a bit jealous that you have some nice flat areas to shoot targets on (mine is all hilly-kettles and moraines).
Well, my son got a nice surprise today: his new Hawke FFP scope arrived! It was good to see that he was genuinely excited about it and was showing his friend the scope. I'm glad to see he's getting anxious to receive his gun. I'm hoping to take him on the Prairie Dog trip with Jim Chapman next year in South Dakota (if the trip is still on next year)-that would be an absolute blast!

Sean when I shoot my 100 yard steel target from my bench it’s like the target is sitting on the ground propped up even though it’s hanging 4 feet in the air, I have a slight rolling hill and if it was a foot higher I would not be able to shoot the 100 yard target from my bench unless I made a deck for my shooting bench so I lucked out, if I set up a 200 yard lane it would be a very slight downhill shot being my bench would be moved to higher ground. Here is my latest pic of my property all mowed now and you can see the hill better and how the 100 yard target just pokes above the hill, this was taken a few weeks ago.

Here you can see the white of my 100 yard target in upper left corner of pic, it’s like it’s sitting on the ground and look at that bad scratch on the butt of my stock, the blue marks up so easy I need to do some sort of a clear coat on the stock, so for now I don’t move my 357 to much being its a scratch magnet. The scratch looks worse in the pic then what it really is.

Shot 10 pellets of 25 grain at 1010 fps.
Distance is 65 yards. Shot from inside my car.
Amaizing accuracy at so high fps at that distance.

Sweet photos of the range, and the blue .357 cal Jim-love them both! When my target stock arrives at Ken's, I'm having him clear coat it right from the start...

Nice shooting Umair! That is VERY good for those pellets, at that distance (and a lot of power also!).
