Again maybe this is delving into the "no brainer" zone (some tell me it's what I do best) but the use of reactive, easily resettable steel targets let a lot of shooters put a lot of rounds downrange quickly and efficiently. That was touched on tangentially when the 'Steel Challenge' matches were previously mentioned, of course. It's smart to plan in such a way that the steel is easily portable around the property when needed, too.

Another thing on targets in general: Relatively few places have ones that move laterally. The best systems use "tracks" of some sort along the bottom, which can be shielded from errant shots with a low wall, rather than wires/cables strung across the range and out in the open. And if you could build a series of concealed pop up targets....ooh how I love to spend others' money...well, you're getting into the realm of firearms theme park there.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!
