Building A Rifle Range

[John -- '02 HAWK]

if you have a dozer you could dig a trench 3-4 feet deep to create a clean lane, line the sides with half buried tires or railroad ties, and create a berm 10-12 feet high shaped as a C from the top.

Alternatively you could use some wire mesh and burlap to create some hesco barrier/bastions

After my time overseas I don't ever want to see hesco barriers again. Lmao. The batteries were dead on the dozer so we decided to go ahead and sight in my rifle. We use one of the tank dams as a birm. Got it dead on at 200 yards. Forgot targets so we were picking off clay pigeons.

See if you spend more time around them they grow on you. I want to build all sorts of shit with HESCO barriers. Too bad you can not find the exact same ones in the States for reasonable prices.

That and sea (shipping) containers.

It's super dense/hard steel that can take hits from rifle rounds without any damage. Basically it's carbon steel plate armor. And it's really expensive.
