[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2184280, member: 10755"] When I owned property and built my range, max for me was 800mtrs, past that was a steep uphill rise and lots of trees. I was able to have a pad levelled at 100, 200 & 300mtrs so that shooting from my bench was level. Each range was slightly offset so that nothing was behind each other. My range then went 400, 500 and so on to 800, but at a slight incline with each 100mtr interval and each plate was above the one in front. This made my shots flatter, but I was only interested in groupings and not trajectories at those ranges. If I wanted to shoot further, I had to shoot across a farm access road to my neighbours place and didn’t feel completely comfortable doing so. He did offer for me to use his place, but the noise had been mentioned before, he thought I had cannons or something! Lol. I hung my plates, which were 24”x24” with 1MoA centre dots at each distance using T braced railway irons and fencing wire. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
