[QUOTE="tinkerer, post: 959491, member: 50973"] Here's my design. 1/2" AR 500 at 45 degrees over a 12" deep pan with sand in it. You can mount wheels on it if you want to move it. If you want to assure no one shots it when your not around, maybe a couple of hinges on the back so you can lower the top onto the pan. Make sure front lip of pan is behind something, from a 45 degree deflector up to a railroad tie to absorb the bullet, just no ricochet. So, pull it to where you want. lift top with tractor to 45 and chain up from behind. Hang your targets inside lid. Occasionally mine the pan for lead. Close top when not shooting. See, easy. And probably heavy, as well. But all your bullets stay inside. Just no 50 cal AP rounds please. And I would be leary of 416 and 408 solids. Especially at 100 yards, and maybe as far as 1000 for some rounds. Everything else should splash inside. Larry Tinkerer [/QUOTE]
