There is a LARGE mound of dirt in the "parking area" that is slated to be moved to the shooting berm. If anyone has access to a dump truck or trailer that we could borrow for a day we can create a nice smoothe dirt surface on the front of it that should provide an arrow friendly surface to fire into.
Anyone?
