Nice looking facility. However, consider putting sound insulation in the front side of the roof, as that is where muzzle blast will reflect from. (As alluded to in a previous post.) Unmatted fiberglass, held in place by wire mesh is a possibility. Other possibilities exist, your local home improvement store has other options. Here is a link to one retailer selling acoustic insulation: http://www.homedepot.com/b/Building-Materials-Insulation-Acoustic-Insulation/N-5yc1vZc612

Hope this helps.

Shot under the roof this weekend and there's no need for sound insulation.







But I appreciate the link. I'm going to try my .50 BMG off the bench soon. We'll see what that sounds like.

PS - hope to get the gables covered and the loading bench in next weekend.
 
There is only one thing wrong....you need another bench for your shooting buddies. If I lived closer I'd come over and help you get started, LOL.
 

Really nice set up and your hard work looks GREAT.

It's always easier to comment than do such a fine job as you have done, BUT... Being in Virginia have you thought about enclosing the area and putting a window in to shoot through. Would seem that it would be very nice to shoot in the warm during the winter and cool during the summer.

Just saying.....................

Shooting from a heated room.makes for some interesting mirage effects
 
i have an indoor bench as well as two outside benches. the inside bench is almost a waste of time in the winter. As al said. You cant see squat!!! Blowing out brass or some informal steel plate shooting is ok but real accuracy work i use the outside bench no matter the outside temp Lee

LOL!

Yup. you've BTDT eh.....

Two things I've found that completely eliminate a rifle's ability to put two in the same hole, #1 shooting out the winder unless you put a fan blowing OUT THE DOOR sucking cold air into your face and #2 shooting over sunny snow on a beautiful Robin's Egg Clear Blue day...the mirage over snow can be measured in inches. Sometimes the dot wanders off the target paper :)

Now shooting IN THE SNOW, when them big fat flakes are falling making a wind flag is like magic. Watch for vortices....The only time I can shoot consistently in the dark is when it's snowing.

We thought about enclosing it but will leave it open. Any match I shoot in the winter will be exposed, so I want to practice in similar conditions.

I like the fact that who ever built the bench knew enough to stagger the nails in the 4x4 legs, the builder is a good carpenter! Over 40 years at it I can tell.
