[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3364066, member: 5412"] Before you put down any money do some research. Go to the County Clerk to see if it is zoned for future development and visit with the County Sheriff's office to see if there are any restrictions to building a range on the property. If everything is good to go, the size of the acreage will determine the types of berms one would need. I'd personally go with dirt because of erosion from wind and rain. Dirt will erode too but as soon as grass starts growing on it the soil will not wash off as easily. As far as the height and width of the berm, the long range berms need to be higher and wider than the close range berms. Always take into consideration the drop out zone behind the berm. Bullets that ricochet off the corner of a steel plate or target stand can travel long distances. If you typically shoot in the evenings keep in mind where the sun will be at that time of the day. You don't want to be shooting into a setting sun. [/QUOTE]
