More like in place of barrels, etc. stack them 5-6’ tall , use for cover , shoot from around them, etc. can have multi stacks that would be like narrow hallway simulator,etc

if you're looking for something to use for a visual barrier, plastic sheeting or thin plywood on a frame are considerations
there is a down-side though: wind. it acts like a sail when wind picks up. sandbags are an easy solution for that tires would be overly difficult to arrange or re-arrange. and as you stated, they're not easy to dispose of eta: you would also have to construct some sort of method to prevent the tires from falling. stacked tires are not stable |

I would just spend the coin for old poly bbls. The first time you try and move a stack of tires you’ll wonder why you didn’t get bbls.
Tires also hold water, skeeters love that stuff. |

Yea, reason why im torn on the subject, my plan was to build VTAC wall and still may. Also want to work on “elevated” positions as my property is perfect for this type of shooting.

I have ridges that are over 200’ tall all around on my gun range, steep angles.
Ive got an atv trail going to the upper ridge, i can look down at my range, All steel is angled down, so elevated position would exaggerate this ( ‘mo safer) I just havent done it yet, lol. The joys of your own range, can go when ya want but i actually didnt shoot much last year, hoping to fix that this year. |

I haven't built any yet, but they're on my list.
Previous owners (going back to the 40s or 50s) disposed of dozens of tires over the years. Sizes go from 13" compact car to 10x20 truck. My plan was to build staggered walls filled with dirt and anchored with rebar. Right now I have wood barricades and plastic barrels, but I think tire walls will last longer. |
