Range & Armory Updates

So I guess the first thing is I am back in town.

So that is worth, you know, I guess, you know, some explanation.

And while I was gone and then in combination with how wet it's been here in the Midwest and the Ohio River Valley, I've had kind of a...

I've had a...

I guess a...

I guess it's almost like an emergency.

Like we've got to get the range cut and, and, and ready, uh, you know, for the spring.

I mean, cause it's summer, but I mean, it was so wet.

We couldn't get, we couldn't get back there to do a lot of the stuff.

So I guess the first thing that I haven't addressed on our podcast is the, the, um, the, what I call the bullseye range is now operational and fully functional.

So the bullseye range is a Officially, it's a 25-yard range.

It's right up there by the barn.

You've seen some pictures on social media, like in the videos where I'm shooting it.

You can see the barn in the background.

It's right by the front porch.

So this range accomplishes a couple things.

The first thing is it enables the ability to just step out of the barn just to shoot something into the ground.

We could always do that.

There's the backside of a berm there and everything, but You know, having a bench up there already set at 25 yards, having a target backer, that was the biggest thing, was having a target backer set up up there because we get so much wind because that part of the property is so high.

I mean, we were straight over the Ohio River at that point that if we just used, on most days, if I just try to have like an IDPA cardboard target stand up there, you know, it's blowing around or moving.

And if I'm trying to shoot something for even moderate accuracy, I don't really get a true reading.

So, you know, we kind of had to figure out how to put a backer up there, but then the backer also has to be removable so we can cut the backside of that berm with a tractor and all that.

So officially the range is 25 yards.

In theory, I mean, I could probably back it up to 200.

You know, it might, you know, it'd put us pretty close to the road.
