[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1339902, member: 27307"] I can tell you from past experiences, no matter how cheap you want this to be, it will not be. There are too many variables which enter into the [B]safe[/B] and simple operation of an underground shooting tunnel. It's not as easy as running an exhaust fan at the end of the tunnel. Or designing a backstop, let alone maintenance of the target system and the tunnel itself. How do you clean up the unburned powder which accumulates in the first part of the tunnel? Talk to Sierra Bullets about their tunnel. There is now or was a bullet maker in Texas who had his own underground test facility, which he would rent out on rare occasions to those who were qualified. Ransom Rest used to have an underground facility in Prescott, AZ. I don't know if it's still there or not. I'm sure there are several others but I don't have a list. Good Luck!
