[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 235576, member: 6937"] I second the opinion about a backstop. Even with a good backstop, it's a good idea to go onto google earth, and check to see what's behind the backstop, and how far away it is, in case a backstop should fail, or a round should somehow skip and go over the top of it. A 22 long rifle bullet will travel 1600 yards if you elevate the barrel 31 degrees. Average pistol rounds can travel about 2000 yards. Highpower rifle rounds can travel about 5000-6000 yards. Shotguns firing birdshot can travel about 200 yards, and with buckshot or slugs, about 500-600 yards. As the safety rule says "always be sure of your target, and what is beyond." [/QUOTE]
