Hi Marty,

I am a Licensed Concealed Handgun instructor so I just put my "course" targets in the driveway where I can put down a Revolution and pick up a SIG.

Then there is the 75 yard "range" north from the upper deck (above the layout pictured).



The 150 yard range is to the northwest from the top deck. I just have to pick up my .223 empties because they can short out the rails.
You have me beat. 150 yards is my max. Darn, a bigger layout AND a longer range!!!

SIG? Small hands eh? LOL!! I'm jealous....garden railroading & shooting ranges all in one, now that's a dream come true! Very nice Jerry!

Nice B27s you have propped up there.

Plastic slip-over brass catchers work pretty well for me, when I need them...so your empties (soon-to-be-reloads that is) won't short out your track. I can't stand the canvas/nylon baggie ones, just the slip-over plastic ones.

Very nice!!

We now have a "tower" for 250 yd dear rifles. The guys set their sites on it.

Spotter for each shooter.

Blue rock off to the east after harvest is over.
no photo of tower yet.
CURSE YOU MARTY, you truly have it ALL!!! You have set the bar high, too high for mere mortals to reach....

NICE!!

No small hands. The SIG's are P-220's and P-226's.

I don't do much shooting anymore. Most of my guns were stolen in a burglary years ago. I never replaced them - getting into garden railroading instead. Some of the stolen ones were recovered by the police with the serial numbers ground off. I had new numbers engraved back on but if these are ever stolen the first cop that saw the re-engraved serial numbers would probably throw the possessor in jail for a LONG time. Fortunately I sold the big guns and the Class III's long before the burglary.

The nice thing about Arkansas is that paper and steel B27's don't bother the cops or neighbors. When a neighbor's burglar alarm goes off I am usually there long before the deputy and the neighbors and the deputies appreciate it.

Gun Control is a slow squeeze on the trigger.

Cheers,

Jerry




Nice SIGs! I went through armorer school for them in the 1990s, very nice handguns. I'm on my 3rd Glock duty pistol; I've shot so much over the years I've worn out my first 2 and need to send them back to Glock for rebuilding.

Sorry to hear about your burglary; but I'm sure that if you have the original report info about the serial #s being ground off, very few LEOs should have a problem with that.

Agreed about your point on GC.

As for your layout, I disagree about "bragging," as it provides inspiration to others (like me, about to move yet again and so have to put my GRR plans on hold once again). At least we're lucky enough to be buying a home with no HOAs nor CCRs, as our current HOA actually prohibits garden railroads! Fine, we'll show them, we'll move into a home with a much bigger yard and no HOA!
