A few months ago, my father-in-law bought his first hand gun. He already has a rifle range in his back yard (14 acres between a swamp and several farms in the middle of nowhere). But now that he also has a handgun, and he knows that I enjoy shooting (when I can find ammo), he wants to put in a small range using the same dirt backstop as the rifle range.
Anyone have any suggestions on things to include? We are going to build a table at a slight angle, and I think I might pile up a bit more dirt on top, because right now we are shooting at a slight down angle.
Other than that, how far should we put the table from where the targets would be? I was thinking of putting some markers for different distances, so we know how far to move back. I have already been told that my wife and I will inherit this land and the house someday, so I am more than willing to spend a bit of time and money on this project.
Any other suggestions?
