Found a used Birmingham school system classroom on craigslist and dragged it here. Needed a place with AC and heat for teaching classes. You can shoot from 0 to 15 yards on these ranges, draw from a holster and move and shoot. I made these two ranges paper only as we have all the steel now located in one range. New overhead structures and gravel surfaces. We now have over 150 plates on this range. It was perfect and a whole lot of fun to shoot on. Where just a few shooters had been shooting, we could now fit 20 groups of shooters, all shooting at reactive targets, set up at 10, 15 and 20 yards, requiring no one to go downrange. When the concrete crew finished we built a structure over it giving us 20 7.5 foot wide shooting positions. Added over 100 tons of gravel and laid out where we needed a floor and poured concrete, 150 feet wide by 16 feet deep. Built a new berm between the opened up area and our day shoot range. I took steel plate ranges 1 and 2 and tore out the berm dividing them. It was clear to me that we were not using the square footage we have as efficiently as we could. Members would show up and not have a place to shoot until someone left. On any given nice weekend afternoon, the place was packed. Poured a big concrete pad, build a structure over it that gives us 10 5 foot wide shooting positions, added 15 plate racks with remote resets and a pile of more steel designed for rimfire use and we have ourselves a really cool place to enjoy a rimfire more than 125 plates.īy fall of 2016, the range was at capacity. In a perfect world, it would have nothing but reactive targets like the ones we saw at the fair or carnival as kids. A place where you could enjoy a rimfire without the big guns around. One of the things I have always wanted here was a dedicated rimfire range. I added more steel plates for your shooting pleasure. A new overhead structure was built using trusses I build that give us a clear span 40 foot wide, no poles in the way. It has 10 36" wide shooting positions, each separated by screen to keep your brass with you and off your neighbor. We poured a new pad and a one piece benchrest table the width of the pad. The old Rifle range pad, tables and covered area were demolished and removed. The rifle range was too narrow so I cut each side out giving us another 10 yards of width. Then over 150 tons of gravel went down to give shooters a good clean surface to walk on. Each of the tables are coated with a bedliner material. The old metal building on the right side of the firing line was pulled out and gave us room for 2 more benchrest tables. Downrange, I dug out the right side of the range giving us material to build a berm at 25 yards and letting me move the 50 yard berm right about 10 yards. Each is 5 feet wide, replacing the 30 inch wide ones we have had since 2002. After it dried, a new overhead structure was built with 12 shooting positions. Then we laid out and poured a concrete pad with a curb at the front for catching brass in front of the pistol shooting area. Next came a new septic tank lid with a man hole cover access lid as the expanded shooting area was going over it. First was digging out the area behind the firing line for installation of a retaining wall and drainage pipe. ![]() Drainage was an issue and I was tired of shoveling it out so. We had a problem with erosion from the parking lot above making its way onto the range concrete surface. The most recent is the upgrade is to our day shooter range. The pictures below illustrate some of the projects we have recently completed. For you.Since April of 2017, we have made major changes to the range.
