Utilizing the gas station as my personal indoor firing range

Welcome to my indoor firing range.  Here you can practice all day long, never loose an arrow and if you happen to break one, you can take a break and make a dozen more.

I started out by curing a bear hide against the wall and a wolf's hide in front of the barrel.  I propped a couple of meat bags up on the barrel and the Coastal Highway Quonset Hut Gas Station Indoor Firing Range and BBQ Pit was born!

Yes, we got guns, lots of guns and bullets too.

Bows and arrows, skill books always helpful and appreciated.

Range electrically lighted during Aurora event.  Perfect spot lighting of the meat bag targets down range.

Lamp lighted range during Aurora skies but sans electrical.  those green lighted windows are pretty awesome.

Rifle night.  This is my rifle, this is my gun, this one's for fighting, this one's for fun!

Taking aim at the meat bag...    steady,   steady,    booom!

So you can see practice has paid off some...  my meat bag impact wall has gotten considerably bigger.  Bagged a bear out on the ice and as I was walking back to the station happened upon a wolf taking down a deer, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity, so I harvested him as well.

Practicing on the bear skin target.  I circled the spot where the arrow struck the target.

Arrow actually ricocheted as it shot thru the meat bag and bounced off the wall.

WOW!! Just WOW!

What mode are you playing here? How many hours to get all the stuf?

Thanks man, yeah, lots of hours walking around looting and walking over encumbered.  Pilgrim mode just for that reason.  Just so happened that when I launched this game, I ended up spawning in Mystery Lake and it just so happened that the Weapons Bunker spawned as well.  After finding it, I decided to check out Pleasant Valley and when I did it just so happened that the Weapons Bunker spawned there as well.  I am already now +4 rifles, so next quest was to clear each map of rifles...   I think I am up to 18 rifles total so far and have about 85% of the world map explored.

Damn, you could arm a small militia to keep wolf populations in check with all those weapons..
