[How to build a berm?]

Standard commercial range construction typically requires a 20' rear berm and 10' lateral berms. Anything over a 20' soil berm you increase the possibility of deflection due to loosing the vertical face of the berm. This is definately and expensive undertaking if you don't have the equipment or material. The U shape will provide increased options for stage setups but will require more material if used in addition to lateral berms.
