We had our annual maintenance day yesterday and some real hard work was done especially by the guys digging out the back stop and laying a new floor in the firing point. It looks nice now before the grass starts to go wild. Lets see pictures of your home range.

DRPC Maintenance Day
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!
Re: DRPC Maintenance Day
Interesting range, Mike. Not originally a military range i'm thinking............did the club build it originally or 'inherit' it?

No definetly not a military range! The club secured the land about 25 years ago and there used to be a clay shooting ground there. The club then built the back stop etc. Nice quiet location put a pig to get to and lacking in facilities. Hopefully all that will change in the next few years.

Re: DRPC Maintenance Day
That is a very nice looking range Mike. 100 yards or does it go out further?

The top picture is our pistol range, 25yds with covered FP at 25yds.
We do have a 100yd FP in the field next to th epistol range but the farmer refuses to allow us to put in a fixed structure at 100 yds so you need GPS to find it and a strong nose to put up with all the cow poo :-)
