John's backyard Swamp DIY IBO Range... Pic heavy
« on: June 14, 2011, 10:02:00 PM »
Here a while back I had posted and explained that my good buddy Kirk Barnard aka "Possum Head" had come up with an idea's for some cheap inexpensive targets made of scrape carpet.  Well, since then me and him have continued to expand on that idea and our home ranges, and I thought i'd show you in a pictorial my current progress. I now have two separate courses the "Red" stakes and the "Orange" each has 15 targets and both are scatter over my approximately  1.5 acre plot of mostly bug infested snake crawling swampland. Each have a good selection of deer, turkey, and hogs and a few different species to keep it interesting.  So with that introduction I will show you a view from the stakes and then a close up of the target, enjoy.

That's really neat.
Having 15 targets on 1.5 acres is an efficient use of space!

I can't tell from your pics. Have you got any treestands set up for practice?

Guys don't know what happening tonight with Photobucket (or me) but all of my pic's are reverting back to their un-rotated originals.  Can someone direct me on how to fix these before everyone get a crick in their neck   :knothead:

I'm in Biloxi a good bit for drill and a friend of mine is moving from here down to Gulfport. We may have to all get together and shoot sometime.

Looks like a lot of fun to be had there! Congrats on a fine setup. Can't help you with Photobucket as that site is like a shot in the dark sometimes!    :rolleyes:
