Considering there are trap, skeet, and sporting clay clubs nearly everywhere, maybe it doesn't make any sense to add another.

I'm not a shotgun shooter but if you can do it and stay within the wetlands nonsense I say go for it.

Non-lead shot? Jack.
I still think that would land us in hot water with the conservation commission -- putting anything in wetlands is verboten.
I'm pretty certain that there's enough room at the current shotgun range to have trap. Worst case, push the positions back into the existing parking lot. We even have a launcher somewhere, although I'm concerned about keeping it full of birds, breakage, etc.
Like I said before, I want to talk to some range chairs and the BoD about my ideas. I'm pretty busy so it might be a while. If anyone wants to help put together a plan, PM me.

Thanks, we were going to put a few screws in the back side of the railroad tie but we ran out of time and folks wanted the range.

I didn't put them in the back because someone would have to hit about 2 feet high to hit a screw. It didn't occur to me that someone could do that by accident

where is the power coming from, closest electric is 2000 feet away ?
91.53 million miles. solar recharged 12v batteries. And the power panel is only 1400 feet away
I was thinking for folks that tie up bottles with string.

sorry so my ruler is off, depends on what way you travel, you dont think the shotgun range is getting power without sharing it with everyone else down there.
We explored it some time back, both extending power from the 50 to the 100 and then bringing power all the way up the line, the cost wasn't really justified for such limited usage. There's portable generation available if there's a work party etc.
The frame will be two telephone poles and a railroad tie on top. We'll be putting the pole behind the top railroad tie.
If the plates are behind the vertical telephone poles, that will help with the spall chewing them up.
When we put the large plate in the middle of the rack, the spall damage was a lot less than when we put it on one of the sides.

When do you want to tackle that!
I was thinking springtime, but it looks like it's f#$kin springtime already!! I will go get the rest of the supplies as soon as possible, doesn't seem like the ground is going to freeze any time soon.
Only the moment you pick up a shovel!

Does the club have an accurate survey done? I could draft the layout for you guys if given an accurate survey and show separations of wetlands and such.
Edit - I could also do a 3d scan of the area to discuss with the town / conservation commission, ive been doing these for my projects, and they are very accurate and a point cloud can be exported, here is an example:

So cool!
Is anyone interested in working on the 100yd next weekend? I’m going to get supplies to fix the backstops that morons shot to hell, because they put clay pigeons on the bottom frame members instead of the berm.
So for the morons and the ignoramuses that use clay pigeons in the frame , don’t! You’re shooting your the frame members and now I can’t replace the plywood because I have to replace the frame members. Stop being ignorant of the destruction you cause.

Sure, I can be there.
I also noticed some paint type things that people shoot and it splatters paint. I’d never seen those before. They were like balloons filled with paint, but commercially made.
Alright I’ll get what’s needed for everything and be there Sunday April 2nd.
Paul no worries, we’ll plan the spring cleanup for a Saturday so you can get in on it too. I appreciate the help guys, it shouldn’t take long with 3 of us.

I remember back in the day Paint Ball would supply "grenades". That would essentially be paint filled balloons. Maybe they're using those?
I'm not a member, but I'd be in for helping if you need extra hands

Mark, I've said this many times but it bears repeating. You can make things a**h*** resistant but you can't make anything a**h*** proof. I'll be there. What time?
