Husband and I stopped there while we were staying at McCormick's Creek earlier this week (we needed an adventure with some a/c on the way!). We were saddened by the obvious absence of any kind of target holder - it seems everyone just uses the trash can. It is certainly nice and secluded, but the broken beer bottles didn't make me want to try any prone work, even with a mat.
Dirt berms to treated lumber doors. They all work. Where can I get used bowling pins. I go through too many clays.
Just go to your local bowling alley and ask for some of their worn out pins. Some charge, some give them away.
AR500 is the grade of steel or is there a preference. I have some 6"Dia x .312 thick 4140.
The highlights-
15 Truck tires
7 Skid-Steer Tires
8 ton #23 Sand
3 ton #8 Stone
100' Conveyor Belt
10' Road Widener Belt
Treated 6' Dog-Eared Boards
ALOT OF SWEAT!!!!!!!!
Just got it finished, a little over-engineered, but I like it. Works great, can get 25 off the deck, and up to 50 in the yard.

My closest neighbor is about 300 yards away and not in the direction that I shoot. Other than the railroad ties the burm is all sand, no rocks. It is 6 feet tall. I only slow fire and keep the targets low. I plan on going a little higher next year.For those of you with a range how close are your neighbors? If any. How tall are your burms? Are the burms fill dirt (rocks and all) or just sand (no rocks)?
