I worked on my range today and set the main hanger in concrete. It’s nice having a tractor to do a lot of the muscle work.

It’s not very purdy but it is functional. I fired one shot in my Henry to consummate the days work.

Wow you are really getting the range in great order Gene! Is that your Boot Hill way at the top with the little crosses?

It does look like it in the picture but they are flowers.

Yup, looking good. Didn't have a hillside to dig into here... so I had to build a berm... what a PITA. Hah.

I'm going to let the fire ants build my next berm. Then find out what real war is like after I start lobbing in 45-70 howitzer rounds!

I prefer an M109 Howitzer.

I worked on the berm today. Mainly behind it creating a walkway to the top.

I planted some bushes that will grow to be about six feet high.

And I picked up four bucket loads of rocks to prevent richochets.

These daisies grow everywhere and I transplanted a few to get them started.
