New House - Build a Shooting Range?

**PSURT** · July 8th, 2007, 01:04 PM

Just curious, but who is the builder for the house? I actually work at a building supply house in Bucks county, so if you need any suggestions as to who could finish the basement for you leave me a message. I also may be able to dig up a skid steer if you need a hand moving some dirt around, it sure beats using a shovel.

Not that close but if I do pull this off I will let pals shoot for the price of allowing me to shoot their guns

I know this is an old post but I just made a shooting range out of old tires (that any tire shop will give you for free) filled with dirt 3 rows deep. This works great and doesn’t take up too much space like a berm. Also I used shepard hooks to hang 8 inch ar500 steel plates that had a hole punched in them. Kind of like a redneck plate rack...

Cost:
8 inch ar500 steel $160
shepards hooks $70
tires and dirt $free

So fro close to $200 you can have a pretty nice range.
