Long Distance Ranges

[OgenRwot]

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.

Byers has a range that goes 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?

+1 on that, one of the funnest days of my life plinking stuff at that place.

The range in Pueblo officially goes out to 425 yards. For some matches we can stretch it out to 600. Hopefully within the next couple years we will have enough land to get out to 1,200 yards.

Frontier Gun Club South Range in Fountain only goes out to 300, even though they promised to make it a 1,000 yard capable range when they were designing it. A huge disappointment of a range.

The Royal Gorge Gun Club in Canyon City goes out past 1,000. If there is a lot of people you wont be shooting past 200 as there is a common backstop for all ranges. Shooting over peoples heads isnt a good thing.

NRA Whittington in Raton NM is excellent for all things firearm related. The first Sunday of the month has a long range match on the north side of the property. Good times.
