Hi Guys ,
I am thinking of making a small hut on my mates farm , to be used as a shooting platform & a sleep out now and then , mainly just a covered shooting position .
Any ideas on the design / layout , will be appreciated .
Cheers Chris

Build it on a trailer frame, so once the area is shot out....move it.
Not guna happen for me.... Back onto a rather large patch of bush (about the size of Stewart island)Quote:

Yeah ,
Should have built it years ago , I have a rough idea of the size , its going to be 3 sheets of ply for the floor .
both long sides will have hatches/windows to shoot from , from one side I have just over 900m & on the otherside a easy 840m & a differcult 1665m .
The short sides , one will have the door & the other nothing .
It will be just sheets of ply & a iron roof , and 2nd hand windows etc .
Thinking to put wires over the top to posts , like some of the Alpine huts , as its bloodly windy .
Cheers Chris

A good shooting platform is as essential as your shooting companion

simple A frame is pretty easy to build. I used to have a small garden shed I carted into the bush in pieces, bloody loud in the rain though.
Go down to your local Mitre 10 and have a look at some of the sheds they have on display and copy their design.
Make the ply floor to your sheet size and frame with 50mm square as they do. Can get 40mm sheets of polystyrene for $50 if you want to insulate.
Make it so rats/mice can't get in
Yeah ,
My mates got some free framing timber , & I have some free roof iron & a old door & a few windows as well .
Just want to keep the costs reasonable , no need to Taj Mahal It .
No "back door" with this model :)

iv got the bigger version here they seem pretty flimsy to set up but once you get everything joined together they are surprisingly strong & down the track you could easily line the walls with ply , cut a window in if you wanted
That is very poor shooting technique resting the muzzle on the rail is not condusive to accuracy, looks like some coaching is needed.Quote:
