Welcome!

Welcome glad your here.

Nordic had the AP custom 4 shell ($40), 3x3 and 4x4($65). I bought a 4x4 from them, don't remember how much the 3x3 went for.

Wow that looks good. You can use the section of fence for distance. Nice

Ordered 4 more of the 9mm they had a 48 hour sale they where $19.95 no sales tax no shipping. Got them today. For me botach has been gtg.

Jmorris just checking for updates on bullet trap. I need something for the barn that can be moved for winter shooting. Other picture look good so far.

I have shot the 87 and like it so i bought one and it's on the way. Great shooting gun! During may research of the 87 I read a lot of good reviews of the discontinued 89. So I figured I'd see if I could get some good info from here about the 89 before I buy one, if I can find one. Although the 87 has great review and I like it, some say the 89 was a better shooting pistol and a true target pistol but they are almost identical pistols. 87 aluminum shroud, lighter with 10 rds. 89 steel shroud single action, heavyer do to steel, 8 rds. Grips are different. If the 89 in your opinion is a better shooting pistol please let me know. If anyone has seen one for sale please let me know. Please educate me. Thanks

I spoke to Jamie (nice guy) before receiving My JP Chassis about the ring height. Again thanks for the Advice Jamie! I have a 20 MOA rail and a 30mm NF 50mm bell, I also went with the 1.2 high rings. Once I recieved the stock I measured for rings and the height was 1.1 inches with 1/8" clearance. I went with the 1.2 rings and not 1.125 rings to make sure the scope cover would be easier to get on and off. My scope cover has an thick bead on it. I have about 3/16" of clearance from bell to rail.

If you like the city live in Knoxville or buy some land just outside the city. We have UT, Maryville College, Roane State and Walter state to find a job. You will be really close to Orsa shooting club. You are also within 4 hr to shoot in Nashville TN,KY, GA, VA, WVA, NC and Al. We have the Great Smoky Mountains hiking, camping, fishing and hunting. Great yr round weather summer and winter IMHO. If you like to ride atv's or side by side we are close to windrock and ride royal blue. Gatlinburg has ski mountain for all your winter skiing or snowboard. TN no state income tax! Great place to live!

Welcome, a lot of info on here for all you will need.

Atomicbrh here is my range, still have some work to do but getting there. Jmorris cant wait to see the finished bullet trap.

Thanks Manny for the info on the Cherokee Club, I was down at River bend two week age for the first time it's a great place. I'll be back there as much as I can.

Welcome, have you ever shot at River Bend in Cummins Ga? They hold alot of shooting events, I have two friends that shoot there.

Sorry for not going into detail but yes you will need a larger bobcat (with tracks IMO) to carry the blocks to stack in place. It also depends on how high you want to go I notice you said 14' long but I did'nt see a height. If you stack more than three high which is pushing it (size of bodcat and your experience with the machine)use a excavator of correct size. You need to let the rental company know what you are lifting to determine size of machine. A footer will also be needed either concrete or gravel depending on weight of berm and ground conditions also helps to level blocks. By no means is this a throw in place job but once completed it will last. There are two types of block neither are rebar reinforced. 1) retaining wall block 2500lbs 18Tallx46Longx41Deep has hooks can be stacked with a chain 2)waste material block 28Tx60Lx28D 4000Lbs. no hooks must use a spreader bar. Prone to collapse with excssive weight against them. Most of the delivery truck will stack them for you if they can get to the location and have a boom to reach out. You said a dump truck can get to your berm so they might. Check with the company you buy the blocks from to find out how long the boom is on their delivery truck also check around your area for a longer boom truck to be able to keep them out the mud. Communicate wth the company that sale the blocks the will direct you on how the install an what is needed to install. Picture of our wall with decorative retaining blocks set with an excavator due to the height.
