A couple of friends and I have to opportunity to lease some property for shooting. We have shot there before out to 1,900 yards, and if we moved back we could get tp 3,000 yards. The lease however is going to be a fairly large sum. What we were wondering how many other people would be interested in having a place to shoot that far? The way the terrain lays, we can shoot from 500-1,200 then from 1,760 on out. This is located near Marion, VA. Let me know, and I'll keep everyone posted, as plans unfold. Thanks

I'd be interested depending on the amount of the lease.

The Property is in Adwolf, VA shooting on a Christmas tree farm. We were not necessarily looking for partners, but at charging say $20 a day to come shoot, to help cover part of our cost; and wondering if anyone would be willing to pay to shoot.

Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?
I think I misunderstood your post, anyway I might still be interested in shooting there some. Once you have an idea of when shooting would be allowed and a set dollar amount let me know.

Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW
I'm definitely in.
I have relatives in that area and my family could play with the relatives while I shoot.
Please let me know if this pans out
Thanks!

We do have plenty of steel, from 6" round plates at 500, to bells at 600-800, and plates at 1,000 on out. Generally we keep the targets about 1 MOA to keep things fun, yet challanging for most.

I can think of at least 10 responsible shooters that I know of that would be interested.

Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW
Very interested would it be weekends only? Are there motels near by? Any chance for a camping area for a little more? I'm 6 hrs away but could easily make the trip with several other shooters but a 2 day would make it much more appealing.

Agreed, I'm near you, and a two day every month or two would be great fun with a group! Carpool?

Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW
So far it seams like there is plenty of interest. I'll keep everyone posted, and even in it doesn't work out, maybe some of us can still get together and do some shooting. I have a couple places to shoot, but only out to 1,440yard.

Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?
I'm loving all of the interest in this project. I'll try and talk with the owner again and see if we can work out some more details, in a few days.
Bogger02, Thanks, but we have around 15 different steel targets already, and it seams like we all end up shooting just a few of them. You know, the whole he hit it, now I have to games. LOL

You know what they say, "A bad day of shooting is always better than a good day at work" Can't wait.

Sorry guys, I've been away for a few days. I'll try and find something out soon. The owner of the property is hard to get in touch with as it's just one of his business properties. I'll try to get some pics up really soon. Thanks.

Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?
From the shooting bench.
Zoomed in, the treeline is just over 1,900 yards.
Looking back from the 1,900 target.
This is from the far back shooting position. That is GPSed to around 3,000 yards.
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?
I grew up about a mile from where you took those photos. Living in Fairbanks AK now. That part of Virginia is a wonderful place to shoot, lots of hills, very safe. Hope to be able and stop in some time and shoot with you guys.
