The weekly Shooting Match at the Trading Post has grown quite a following and the Shootin' Shack needed to be enlarged, weather proofed and refined. Not the greatest pictures, as it hasn't been cleaned out from the previous night's match, but doesn't it give an air of authenticity? The ghosts of shooting matches past. Just imagine bearded men in cammo, holding shot guns and smoking and dipping. The ultimate Man Cave. Where to start....
Wood burning stove keeps it nice and toasty despite below freezing temps.
"Managers" booth and shooting window. This is where Nathan, Lee, and Matthew stand and check out the cards, x's and money during the rounds.
Bench seating all around. This is the "extension."
And the award for most ingenious use of shot guns shells goes to.... this gun rack. I think this is my favorite improvement. Very clever. I wish I could have gotten a shot when the all rifles were lined up here...
Now this is pretty clever, too. A bicycle wheel and cable system runs the targets out and back in with the crank of the pedals. No one has to run back and forth in the line of fire.
