    Default Long Distance Ranges

    Thought it would be nice to have a thread with places to shoot that we can stretch our legs. Most places only have 100 yard ranges and you can find a couple out to 300. What about ranges/places to shoot where we can get out to around 1000?

    I've done all of my distance shooting at Rifle Sportsman's Club in Rifle. You can get out to 800 yards at matches and on precision practice nights.

    There are a few places way out in the middle of the Grasslands that you can safely get out pretty far. Haven't got the exact distances yet but it's close to 1000.

    the one in byers is Colorado Rifle Club. They have several ranges including a 1000 KD, 500 yd metallic shiloutte, a few action pistol berms, and other stuff. Nice facility. Mr Google can give you their website...

    You're referring to this range, correct?

    Yup. You've met "offgrid", a newer shooter at the PD matches. We've been trying to meet out there for six weeks. Can't get our schedules coordinated. If you like, I'll let you know when we get it dialed. He and I are shooting for a Wednesday, but if you wanted to make a day of it on a weekend, I'd be up for that, too.

    Old Dude (Meant in ALL respect Mr. Dino) helped me call some shots at the PD match I was actually able to make it too... I had NO idea what I was doing or even how to do it.
