Range maintenance

It needs doing and there is no way round it but it
is hard work digging and sieving a ton of sand from
the back stop. I helped out on just one lane (there are two more)
and I certainly knew I'd helped come the end of the day.

Kneeling down and sorting all the lead and metal jackets
from the accumulated stones. It's funny how sand that has
been there more than ten years and sieved twice a year can still
have small stones and pebbles init.

A converted cement mixer with a wire screen might save with
the back breaking sieving, does anyone use a mechanical sieve
to sort the lead from the chaff, so to speak?

A brass magnet and a lead magnet would solve the problem. Wonder why neither have been invented yet. Until then the cement mixer idea is the cheapest way to go I suppose.
