that shooters stand when they shoot. From that hatched the idea for a Target Range Pavilion, a simple structure to provide shade from the sun and shelter from the rain.The Pavilion is built on six concrete pillars anchored into the bedrock. Pressure treated 4x6 posts are anchored to the pillars. Covering the pavilion is a “lean-to” roof framed with 2x6 rafters placed 24” on center. The rafters are spanned with 1x4 strapping placed at 24 inch 
intervals, and then covered with 3’ x 12’ metal roofing, secured with galvanized fasteners intended for that purpose. To provide additional rigidity to the structure, 2x4 cross-members are placed diagonally at the ends. The placement of these braces also forces target shooters to pass behind shooters to exit the pavilion rather than crossing in front.
Across the front of the pavilion, 5/4 x 8 rough sawn white oak left over from the rustic cabin project limits the shooters from shooting over the burm as well as adding a decorative touch.
Because the tops of the concrete piers are level with each other, a wooden floor deck can be added to the pavilion.

These photos, taken from the top of the burm and from the road coming onto the open clearing, shows the finished site.
