Deercreek has a very nice setup but unfortunately the rifle ranges are 50yrds and 100 yards and a 25yrd pistol range. The only extra rule they have at Deercreek is you have to put your target at the backstop so if you're on the 100 yards range you can't setup a target at 75yrds. Have no idea why it's like that but it is. The 100yard range has at least 7 or 8 lanes and the 50 has 3 lanes

Here's a picture of the 50yrd range from last weekend as the storm rolled thru.

The risk of placing your targets away from the backstop is that bullets can ricochet off the ground and fly over the backstop. Or, someone brings a target stand that is too tall, and they end up aiming up and shoot over the backstop. Both of these dangerous situations have happened more than once at my local range!
