I have the opportunity to buy in with a friend of mine 187 acres of land, that among its other great qualities, it has a nice rolling hill that would serve as a great bullet back stop anywhere up to 250 yards.
My somewhat nutty idea is to make a life of luxurious shooting ease. And as is usually the case with me. I started off with something that makes a great deal of sense and went way beyond. Anything worth doing is worth doing to excess.
I started with a happy and simple idea of a really stable, fixed shooting bench. Then it occurred to me that it should be under cover.
I have now ended up with idea of one of those large garden sheds. I can flip up, down or slide some various size opening to shoot out of.
I'm talking large enough to shoot (sitting or standing) from my fixed mega bench from the inside.
That all sounded reasonable and then I took into consideration the weather. Heck, this place needs to be heated!
But you know....there is not just cold weather but hot weather. I need an air-conditioner as well. So it's hot outside and I just open the small part or the door, window hatch...whatever.
There's no power where I'm considering doing this...but I have a very nasty generator.
So what this essentially boils down to is a shooting house for all seasons.
No, I'm not buying into this just for a place to shoot. My wife has wanted me to build a house there since she discovered what nails were for. I've resisted. However, this could just be the thing that pushes me over the edge.
