Yes there is a backstop for the rifle area. Safety is ALWAYS priority. Its not a huge firing line with 10 positions, its good for mabe 2 guys at any one time. There is a steel swinging reactive target, and we can set up other things that are fun when they explode ( shaving cream cans…) but only 2 guns on the line at a time, the rest can watch, sit around bs’ing or cook food, we need lots of food. we cannot shoot rifle and trap at the same time, the impact berm for the rifles is 10 foot bottom on the pond. But once we get to the trap area, we are gonna shoot one thrower for a bit, and those that are good enough can get some 2 thrower action. I’m a Army instructor that has gone to many ranges and taught alot of people to be safe. I’m going to have fun and to shoot guns, anyone that i think can’t do that will be eating hotdogs and bs’ing, with the guns in the big kids hands.
