Home shooting

You're lucky, I'd lose my FOID card, my guns and my freedom. I have to drive 30 miles to use the range my gun club owns.

One of my neighbors shot his 12 GA at the ground to scare some young people that crossed his yard ( wife's flower bed also ) after he kept telling them not to and all he got was the fine. but the young people avoid his yard now lol

Wow! He either knows someone, or got extremely lucky! pull a stunt like that in any city in colorado and you will deffinately be spending the night in jail.
 
Nice bench! We're blessed with lots of space in a rural area, so I cleared the brush and saplings out of a section of woods and now we can shoot across a swale into the side of the next hill out to about 60 yards. I hung some steel plates and made a hanger for old tennis balls as well as lots of perches for soda cans, water bottles, plastic jugs - anything that will hold water. Last evening we shot some styrofoam coffee cups dug out of the trash from our family Easter get-together. When full of water they blow up in spectacular fashion.
I found an old cast iron well pump in a scrap pile and used it as the base for a table. Not as sophisticated as your bench; it just has a square oak top with brackets to clamp rifles for sighting-in. It's sturdy, though. Had to set it in place with tractor and loader.
BTW, it gives me the creeps when I see a video of somebody shooting at targets set up in front of a wooded area on what appears to be fairly level ground. Yikes! My policy is never to send a bullet in a direction where I can't see exactly where it is going into the ground.

Yeah, flat land and shooting into the woods! not good. I could go out shooting now but the dirt/ brick burm isnot ready yet. there is nothing in the line of fire but that could change in a heart beat! no need to kill some one from a stray round.
 
The second is my bench.

Love the bench. was lucky with mine was scrap wood sitting in the shop. Am only one shootin on mine so didn't worry abot lefties shooting of the bench. Its a 36" by 36" with 30" table height. bucket/ seat can carry drinks and snacks, ammo.
