Construction cottages often involves the construction of additional facilities and premises. It can be "back rooms", and a pool, and a mini-court, and a volleyball court, and even a stable.
But there is such a thing that many only dream of. It's about dash.
Having started repairs in the country house and once having taken out all the construction waste, the owners can find out that the basement in their house has been vacated. Or just one room is empty. But it’s precisely these rooms that can be turned into a place where all family members with pleasure will gather: adults and children, boys and girls in order to “shoot” at plastic bunnies, paper targets or moving objects, developing their dexterity, vision and willpower, both from children's pistols and from air rifles.
A place for a shooting gallery can be allocated on the site itself, but for this you will have to build something resembling garage, do it yourself.
The advantage of such a home shooting range is obvious: it’s safety, because shooting at a tin can mounted on a stump is not a good option. "Games" with pneumatic weapons without additional protection, and even in the circle of laughing relatives who had drained a glass of wine “for a meeting,” they didn’t lead to anything good.
In order to organize a shooting range, you will need at least 20 meters of free space. Then it all depends on what the owner means by the phrase "shooting comfort".
If the shooting range will be in the basement or another part of the cottage, you must immediately make sure that no one is at risk in the house, and that shots will be sent from the house.
Targets should be located on the side opposite from the front door. The walls of the shooting gallery are sheathed with any material that extinguishes the rebound.
The first task that the owner needs to solve is the one that concerns the maximum safety of people, animals, and home, and only after that it is worth thinking about where and how to place a large structure called "shooting gallery" on the garden plot.
Next, you should think about a bullet-proof wall, which should be at least 1.5 meters above the target line. It is very good if the owner installs an anti-rheumatic visor. The same wall should not have glare. One of the options for a “wall” is an earthen rampart, a wooden shield or a concrete fence. If it is an earthen embankment, then it should not contain a single stone.
A summer shooting gallery must certainly have walls that prevent the unexpected appearance of anyone at the firing line, and they also prevent the bullet from deflecting from the wind.
The place for the shooter is equipped with a stand serving as a support. The main requirement for this design is stability and strength.
If the shooting range is indoor, then the next task of the hosts is to solve the problem with lighting. Windows in the indoor dash are not provided, and light should only fall on the target, and not on the shooter.
A shooting range can be built both stationary and collapsible.
And the last one is the choice of targets. Here the owners of the shooting gallery rely only on their desires and financial capabilities.
As you can see, a little effort, and you can have a great time in the country with friends or relatives.
