Stumpy is exactly 25 yards from the edge of the gravel drive, so he
makes a perfect holder for targets of various kinds. There's a couple of
cords of firewood stacked high some yards behind Stumpy that act as a
backstop.


hmm, 75 feet. Pistol practice? I never did like pistols, even though
I have several. But I do have some impliments that could put "stumpy"
out of your misery at say .. 250 yards? Oh, and that's with iron
sights.

But it's your "stumpy" and exercise it for all you can. you never know
when "big brother" will want to take away all the cap guns.....



25 yards is all we have room for. The site is the future drain field and
is the only flat, cleared spot on the entire property. Everything else
is wooded, or very hilly or ravines or too close to the water.

It works fine for pistol practice, and for some occasional rifle
practices and tossing clays. I don't hunt.

There's a pasture nearby for more high powered stuff. I'm not much of a
rifle fan, though I understand the precision needed for long-range
target shooting.
