It really was worth the investment I gave $750 an acre and it is now selling for $2500 an acre in this area. So with the house and shop that we built I am looking at around $500000 in value. Not bad for a 13 year investment.

Where are you located? A few years ago we bought 40 acres in a remote area in AZ for $28k but we still have much to do before we can move there. It is typ SW desert but we like that. Also looking for some wooded areas in Idaho or Montana. Then become migratory.
Shooting off or near my porch would be awesome.

While not off our porch our land we will buy in ID, MT or UT will have a range built on it with varying lengths up to hopefully ~300yds. I’ve already got the design in my head. Plus it’ll be awesome for my wife and i’s gun channel. :wink:

I want to us to be able to shoot on it anytime we want. Maybe we will get lucky and find land that borders BLM land…

Huh, I never thought of using paper plates. But thinking about it, why couldn’t they work? They’re dirt cheap, you can draw rings on them, the only thing to think about is the other shooters perception of you when your shooting. And, here in NY, anyone who has a problem with me can go fornicate themselves with iron sticks.

As for my latest, and second experience in my entire life, it was pretty good. Still learning to shoot my .22, but I do believe I have my scope centered for me at 7 yards. Now to get it centered at 15. I don’t like the feeling, of others concussive force of a .45 in an indoor range. But that’s the only real downside to the whole experience. The folks are nice, shooting is fun, so far I’m very glad I spent the money I did on a rifle.

Now these are a good idea. I see they go from 3/4" up to 3". Think I’ll pick up some of these.
Thanks

Another option is the binder ring repair circles they sell at walmart. Stuck to a piece of scrap paper. Also the many local pizza shop pizza boxes have 1/4 to 1" pepperoni printed on em. A family size pizza can be repurposed into like 50 target spots easily! :wink:
