CHUCK, that's a great shooting range :) and the wind makes for good practice. I go out and shoot on windy day's just to get some idea's, that way when I'm hunting the first thing that I'm asking myself is , which way is the wind blowing. Ed

Yep you sure have some open area there.. Lots of elbow room..:) Ya the wind can mess up a good target shooting day, but what I have done is put up a streamer on a stick on top the fence..:) I just look at that and play with windage on scope.. Only problem is it hardly ever just blows at a constant speed.. hehe.. But it is a challenge and lots of fun to boot..

the targets you can barely see are a swinging 22 target and some spoons bent around a politician sign frame. I'll set something up when the weather breaks at 50/ 75 yds and post again. The targets are 30yds from my picninc table (where I took the pic from.)

Must be nice...Neighbors are a factor at mine.

You said "until they put the corn or potatos in.", corn and potatos make excellent targets.

Just kidding, happy neighbors are the best, wouldn't want anyone to shoot my groceries.

What Gene doesn't know is that I have a big fan out there that blows a cross wind when he's trying to shot.
