I’ve been a member of a shooting club for a while now; it’s got everything you’d need, trap, skeet, pistol & long range shooting areas, even though it’s only 5 miles from my house, last summer I set up a shooting range at my house. I have 5 acres with 3 of them as a back drop to my range. I’ve used 10 railroad ties as the main back drop, with 2x4’s secured to the railroad ties so it’s really safe concerning stray bullets. In front of the back stop I have an old swing set stand to which I hang old beer can’s filled with water to shoot at along with 3 posts that I place used intact clay pigeon’s on a nail, they really dance and explode when hit with our 22lr bullets. I’ve also got an old pick nick table with a large umbrella over it for shade. Needless to say we love it, including my 7 year old grandson. I’ve never had any negative feedback from my neighbors, although I don’t shoot on Sundays, just to keep everybody happy. It also lets everyone around my house know that this isn’t a gun free home.
