Quoted: If the entire thing needs to be rebuilt it would be cheaper in the long run to put the uprights at 8' foot on center that way standard sized lumber can be used and easily replace as it needs to be. Also easier to transport 8 footers than other lengths. I would be for some repair work and buy materials. i havent had much time to do anything at the range let alone shoot the last few years, but have some free time for the next week. I do have a genarator for power but if using standard sized lumber only thing you would need to cut would be the 4x4's and those could be cut ahead of time. Cross beams can be hung with decking screws and a cordless.

--------------------------------------------
(14) - 8' long 4x4's
(28) - 10' long 2x4's (posts are 8'-9' apart, so you could get by with 9'ers)
(4) - 12'-16' 2x4's for support angles
(4) - ground stakes to fasten to support angles
(2) - boxes of wood screws
--------------------------------------------
Optional:
(14) - 4x4 base plate stakes
--------------------------------------------
There are existing stakes into the ground via a base plate stakes for the 4x4 posts to fit into. They use 2 bolts to clamp the 4x4 in, they are in OK shape, but if we are replacing the entire frame we might as well replace those too (14 of them).
