These shooting houses will last a long time but I tell ya. I got in one and if you sneeze cough drop a bullet its loud as crap. A tractor dealer I deal with sells these.

Got into a bit of a thing one time in a house and lost a plug during a bit if a tussle - after all the shooting was done my ear never recovered.
Even if you stick the muzzle outside it will be loud.
They are nice but I would rather have a roof and just a nylon tarp for a wind break. Lets some of the sound dissipate.
You might want to have someone stand inside and move around a bit while you are outside - you might be hearing a lot more than you would like. Looks like a human sized bass drum.
At least you will be dry! 8)
What are they worth?
Cheers

Was in a government type building once....all concrete with high ceilings. Explosion went off about 40 ft away. My ears rang for 3 days I think. Then I had tinnitus symptoms for days. As long as there was some type of noise I was ok. If it got quite I couldn't sleep for the ringing in my ears. I refuse to shoot out of a box these days.
