Range Report: BB’s in the snow

Post by Sir Henry » Thu Feb 24, 2022 1:37 pm

I set out a BB target and shot this morning. I first set it out in the plowed driveway.

Then I set it out on the front deck. This is where I would like to shoot BB’s except put the catches on a post another 20 feet out.

I wondered out in the snow and was fence posting up to my knees.

This is where I was headed. It’s an old root cellar and this is where I want to shoot rimfire. I want to put the bullets stops out on the right of it and shoot from 25 yards. It will have to wait for the spring thaw.

Looks like the perfect set up to me. You just need to get yourself a pair of snowshoes. :D

Seems like a nice spot to setup for shooting!

Nice layout and target range possibilties! Could you stack thick timbers of the side of that root cellar as a back stop? How many acres you have?
