The New North Range (pic heavy)

Great looking shootin' porch.
Looking down range, it doesn't get any better than that.

I wonder if anyone noticed my helper in the second picture?
She's always somewhere close.

The excuse, It's not my fault, I was left unsupervised can not be used LOL

Having a little reserve left in the tank I put a layer of thick roll up door vinyl on the roof, stapled it down and trimmed it. This stuff is black on one side and white on the other. I put the black side down. This should act as an added heat shied between us and that tin roof. It will also act as a moisture barrier.

I'm just hoping it's some useless Chinese iron and not a vintage Griswold or Wagner Ware, but it sort of looks like it could be a Griswold which has me clenching my teeth.

Make sure you do not shoot any good American made cast iron except maybe recent Lodge. You can tap it and hear it ring. If it does not ring, it has a crack and cannot easily be repaired, so shoot away.They made quality stuff back then. I have an eighty to a hundred year old Griswold skillet purchased in 1976 for 75 cents. You would not believe what they sell for today in California.
That North Range is a thing of beauty! You are going to have loads of fun out there. Keep sharing for us poor guys who have to settle for less.

It will get the tin roof tomorrow. Next will be some outdoor electric and some lighting.

Very nice!  And shooting with your wife, lucky man!  My wife does a wee bit of shooting with me but, she takes a few shots, hits the target every time and then hands me the rifle back and tells me to call her when I get better.  She even catches more fish then I do.  😒

Yeah, Betty Lou often outshoots me but she never out fishes me.

I thought I had updated this but I must have posted in a different thread.
Anyways, the tin roof is on and I installed an outdoor weather proof outlet.
I also hung a 2' LED strip light over the shooting table.
I have a double set of halogen work lights to illuminate the range and targets for night shooting.
We've added a few more target options including a balloon board for BB gun fun.

Might get more reactivity with this strung-together line of steel, what I call the Clang-a-lang.

The second photo shows the bendable wire that connects the cans. The pellet tin is hung from twine. You could add more cans of graduated diameters.

Oh, I almost forgot Number 12 - infinity..
These are all the moving targets that crawl, fly and climb in and around all those trees out there.   

I can almost imagine you, Bill sir, swinging from tree to tree, wearing a G-string like Tarzan 


Oh, and lots of spots for a hammock 😴

You would have to imagine it because it will never happen...  again.

Made a quick run to the Walmart in Greenville this morning. I picked up a qt. of paint to paint the wood framing of the shootin shed. It's not exactly the same color as we painted the other lean to but that's on the other side of the Red Shed and it matches so close that you wouldn't know. You can't see both sides together.
They had the sun shade camo burlap so I bought another section and hung it on the west side of the lean to. The one I ordered will go on the east side. Same stuff they use on a hunting blind.
Got the outside framing painted so I just need to finish the inside after my feet and back recover.

Very cool, I'm going to have to make one. Lately I've had a couple Budweiser aluminum bottles hanging from the trees, they make a nice, loud, "WHACK" when hit, and they hold up well

I dunno why beer tastes so much better when contained in those thick aluminum bottles
