Built a Back Stop

[rebelracer79]

I had some free time today, so I grabbed some materials and my dads skid steer

First I drove in a couple of T-Posts, then tied a piece of ply wood between them

Then I started piling up dirt, this is after 2 buckets

I kept piling and after 7 buckets I called it good, I'll have to add some more dirt after the rain packs it and my bullets tear it up

The board layed over backwards quite a bit after packing it with the skid steer.

I tested it with .22lr, .38 speacial, 9 mm and .30-06, even at the top where the dirt is the thinnest the .30-06 did not exit. I mainly built it to shoot my pistols and .22s at, but it will also be good to sight in my rifles, can't tell from the pics but it is about 10 yds from a fence running parrallel with the range so I can mark off distances easy, only bad thing is the furthest I can shoot on it is 100 yds.

i'm gonna do somethin' kinda like that, i'm gatherin' up railroad ties to make a walled stop behind the plywood target holder, then i'll pile up dirt behind the wall of ties. i don't like liftin' ties, but i'm gonna make'em about 6 or 8 high.

I'd love to have my own place where I could shoot 100yds,

Here's what I did for a backyard 50 yd rimfire range at my house:

Yes count yourself lucky to have a place where you can walk out your backdoor and do some target practice! I hope to be able to do that some day!

I built a pretty sweet one at my dad's place when I noticed he had some nice scrap laying around. I'll grab a pic next time I'm there.

It is pretty nice, I plan on making it a little bigger since we have alot more dirt I can use(county cleaned out the ditches and needed somewhere to dump the dirt)
