FarmerRick:
What I've gotten done so far at my place, it's about 115 yards from one end to the other.
I plan on adding at least a few more feet of height to my berms.

Critter:
That looks great Rick, looks like you have a great start.  I will have to look into the zoning, I really have no idea about that.  The neighbors around here seem to shoot a bit so I'm hoping they don't mind the .338 Lapua or the Tanerite going off, as well as everything else.  This probably falls under agricultural, as I have a local farmer put up the hay here.  As for the grading costs, I have my own equipment so outside of the time and fuel, I’m good to go.  Thanks for all the help guys!

landon410:
not sure if you need some backstop material or not but Home Depot had those rounded off 4x4's 8 feet long and treated for $00.99
there aren't big like railload ties, but they'll hold dirt in place


I almost just bought 50 of them even though I have no need, it was hard to pass those up.

RobertH:
I would suggest a fire extinguisher when using exploding targets. Every time i used them, i got a fire. For that reason, they have lost all appeal to me.

AWick:
If it's a hay field with a random giant berm on one end with some trees surrounding it then I would still consider it a hay field. If any zoning yahoo asks what it is just say, "a pile of dirt with trees around it"... you know, cuz that's what it actually is... nvr mind that timber wall with targets hung up on it :)

I have a friend who's parents used to have some land just outside of Ashland with a range on it. They were great folks! They let her and her friends, myself included,  have an entire day at the range... thousands of rounds later and spanning guns from 1903 to the present, .22 to 50 BMG later we had a fish fry and deer burgers. It was one of the best days I've ever had!

Good luck!
