Maybe next time. When I retire I will move and having a better shooting lane is one of the things I will look for. The longest dimension of my current plot is one thousand feet, but I would have to cut down a bunch of trees to even see that far, plus it the slope drops off so I could not see more than maybe 150 to 200 yards even if it was clear. My next property won't be so steep.
As Hickok45 has his set up a gradual up slope would give you clear view of all distances, his of course is across a swale and gives down and back up visibility close to far.
Once the fire season is over if I'm still here that is.
I plan to create a good backstop about 75 yards from my deck, so I don't have to worry about my bullets striking sparks in the tall grass and weeds. I haven't fired a shot in weeks due to the extremely dry conditions.
Want to know what I'm living with look up the Chetco Bar fire in OR, about 160,000 acres so far and we are in stage 1 alert so far.
Rainy Oregon my eye, we could really use some about now!
