Purpose-Built Shooting Berms for Safety & Containment

John Marr Bobcat Excavation provides professional shooting berm construction designed to safely contain projectiles and support responsible firearms use on private property. Our shooting berms are built with proper height, slope, and compaction to meet functional safety needs while fitting naturally into the surrounding land.

Whether for private landowners, farms, or controlled-use training areas, we focus on stable construction that performs long-term.

What Is a Shooting Berm?

A shooting berm is a raised earthen structure designed to safely stop and contain bullets. Properly built shooting berms reduce the risk of ricochet, control projectile travel, and provide a reliable backstop for shooting activities on private land.

Each berm is shaped and constructed based on terrain, usage, and site conditions.

Our Shooting Berm Construction Process

• Site Evaluation & Layout
  We assess terrain, slope, and space to determine proper berm placement and orientation.

• Earth Moving & Material Placement
  Berms are built using quality soil and proper layering techniques.

• Compaction & Shaping
  Berms are compacted and shaped to maintain structure and reduce erosion over time.

• Final Grading
  Surrounding areas are graded to manage runoff and improve access.
