There was one massive slab of particle board about 1" thick and about 2' x 4' that I left till someone breaks it into more manageable sized chunks.

I measured off and fluorescent painted 20 yd. lines out to 100 yds. as well as a 25m (82ft) compass. These were for my own use and are not obtrusive.

No one else came to shoot but a couple of vehicles went on up 343.

And since it was so desolate I went and shot at 200 and then 250 yds. btw the sign for 343 that is just up the fork where the road goes off over the hill, is almost exactly 250 yds. to the berm farthest from the highway. You can't shoot from the sign if there is anyone else around.

I did not drive up 343...does anyone know if there are longer distance ranges further back? my 7.62x54r is still punching through my mild 1/2" steel plates

I mostly went to shoot my NM M14 that I received as a gift a few weeks ago. It shoots great but I really missed having other shooters to shoot the bull with like I always did at Rampart. I hope I can make it to the next group shoot.

No one else was at either of the 2 berms. There were a couple of pickups that headed off up 343 and I heard them shooting rifles. They didn't shoot much and didn't stay long.

I managed to measure off 300yds this time and had a blast with my new M14.

I'm looking at the overhead imagery from Google and I'm not really seeing any '343'? I see a range that seems about 100 yards long, orientated just west of straight north about 200 yards from 67.

I'd like to get my new JP and ACOG out and stretch its legs. Where can you shoot three hundred yards?
