Thanks I actually been out it in a few times last week. Healing up pretty well but just gotta take baby steps some days I'm not going out to it to shoot I just stay on my deck and shoot 20-40 yardsHello douger,
Really like your SS ( shooting shed )

I shoot in my backyard. I’m on 2.5 acres and my range goes out to 115 yards. I have a concrete berm which is made up of large chunks of my old concrete drive way.

Shooting in the backyard is a pain, it requires moving livestock around. I can shoot in the front yard though.

Have you shot at the rubber ? Depending on how hard it is you could have a ricochet concern. I had tried a piece of rubber in my basement and I had ricochets.

45 degrees , backstop ricochets down into a sand pit . OR a backstop that absorbs the pellet , mulch or papers old clothes

This is a view FROM the target towards my veranda from where I shoot . Exactly 100 yards. I use a pellet trap box made from 3/4" plywood , 25" long , front size is A4 print paper. The box is filled with sand bags , inside walls covered with sound proof foam. Very quiet and safe tu use.
I really enjoy to shoot in my backyard when I want to .

As a matter of fact I have. I connected the 4 piece neoprene mats fro Harbor Freight and contact cemented 4 × 1/2" layers together and over layer that over 1 1/2" of maple plywood. It is at 90 degrees no riccoches that I know of. However it ment to be a backstop to my target ca stop incidental misses and to act a sound dampening. the few that I intentionally fired into it wer were just absorbed by it. As for my primary target I am using a latching utility bin, stuffed to the gills with rubber mulch. All well over built for .177 and .22 PCP's and most importantly wor my wife, quiet.

I'm able to shoot in my backyard. Really makes tinkering much more enjoyable. Feel bad for guys who have to travel to the range.

I have 115 yards but if I trim bushes? Can increase that to about 170 or so yards.
Now I have nearly a mile of woods after that! So even a BMG .50 ain't going through that!

I can, up to 100 yards. I live on the old family farm. If I shot down the driveway I could do 250 yards. I have target butts set up at 30, 50, 75 and 100 yards plus I can move some around to different distances if needed. My house is in the woods and my woods abuts a few acres of woods belonging to cousins of mine so I have a few acres that I can hunt squirrels on. I have to be careful when hunting with .22 rimfires as there are houses nearby, which is one reason that I like to use airguns quite a bit, much safer. My great great grandfather owned 106 acres of land here but over several generations of family the land ownership has gotten broken up into smaller pieces, with some lots sold off, gone forever.

Backyard is flat and dry. 175 acre farm, no trees like some of you guys who live in states where it rains more than the 10 or less inches we get here. Plenty of space to shoot way beyond current airgun ranges. Just have to watch out for employees!

We have a summerhouse situated on a hill in a forest. Here I can shoot 40meters as seen here or 70meters shooting downhill. I could clear some land a shoot a slight further(80-90 metrish), but I am too lazy.
My nearest neigbour is some 100meters away. No need for silencer really. Nobody cares.
Sitting on the roofporch plinking pinecones or whatever, drinking a cold Dr. Pepper is just grand.
Need to buy some spinners.

Someone just brought this thread to my attention. Last time I posted in this thread I was just getting ready to drive east. It’s 9 months later, and I’m sitting on my lawn shooting roundball out of my 9 mm Rex P. I have a nice little 40 yard range behind the garage and very relaxed gun friendly neighbors. I got a house on a little quarter acre lot in a hamlet right next to some beautiful state forest land. Not a lot of land of my own but that was all I could manage and it is good enough
Just moved in last month. Been working on the yard pretty much nonstop since and it’s starting to look reasonable.
Separated from my wife last summer and life is starting to getting better
