BLM Land, More Than 1,000 Yards?

[MrWhiteRabbit]

That spot is now closed. It is part of the closure for the Baker Draw Designated Shooting Area at CR 96&63.

I know of a few spots for shooting to +1000, but they are becoming more crowded with time. It's pretty common for me to have to try a few different ones even setting up at 7am on a weekend. I've run into long range classes hosted in the Pawnee which seemed odd, but the most frustrating is when people setup on a spot supporting +600yds and set targets to a max of 100 or just shoot clays. I try to be curtious and use spots that relate to my plans for the day. The further you want to shoot, the less options you have.

Don't get me wrong, it's awesome to have the access and you can do things that are hard to replicate at most clubs, but it's not without its headaches.

I would suggest sharing specific spots through PMs as this is a public forum and lots of people Google this topic. Some people just want to hit the easy button and will go to any spot for shooting regardless of their actual needs.

D’oh! I should have read both responses before replying to HBAR. Well, PMs are open if anyone knows of some land and wants to throw some .50 BMG over 1k with me.

Did you ever find a good spot? I have a .338 LM I would like to take out past 1k.

Nope. Seems like people are keeping their slots to themselves.

I can drive 15 min from my place and , with the right rifle. Could shoot out to 4k +

Finally made it out today and tested the new build, all went well, and it was open land about 20 minutes from my place. Great to be in AZ!!

I don't think people are holding out, most people don't shoot that distance. Pawnee is way to restricted and crowded now plus there are very few good back stops there for long distance shooting.
