Built the berm yesterday. Hope to pour concrete firing line next week and built roof. Can shoot to 600 yds from covered line and up to 1000 from a different firing line that will not be covered now. Will start with 12 concrete benches that can be moved off firing line to allow prone shooting.
Hope to arrange weekends for shooters to practice and have matches here also. Camping with water is also available.
Will keep you posted as to progress.

A little more progress yesterday. Built up the firing line to get the elevation need to shoot prone off the concrete. Plan to pour 10 x 90 concrete firing line Monday. Mowed pasture also and my son fired a few rounds at 600

Just getting started and I'm black balled already.

William will build my guns and then tell people not to let me shoot them. Boy thats a great way to generate business!
You wouldn't ban a fellow Texan on what a coon ass might tell you?

James H will be interested in this as well

I'm thinking .338L. The only reason I haven't built one is because our place goes to 600.

Awesome!! I've had 1 shoot at my place this year and have a second scheduled for May 28th weekend. Its just up the road in Crockett. I hope to get berms built and extend out past 1000 this year.

Saw the sign on FM1791 (between I45 and Hwy 30). It was for Able Ammo Range.

Maybe that was a different one.

Able Ammo is building a new store and range on FM 1791.
My construction company has already build the skeet ranges for them on that property. There will be a large new store, sporting clays, skeet, rifle and pistol range. Will be a nice place. Waiting on power company to bring power to the property to start store construction. They decided not to build a long distance range at their new location, that's when I decide to go ahead with my plans.
My place will not be open to the public or compete with theirs.
We will have long distance matches and scheduled practice sessions, targets and steel, along with LD benchrest matches. I can't sit out there every day waiting on one person to come shoot.
