For you guys that are paying to shoot 1K yards..

I travel a lot and it varies depending on where you're at. When I was working in Montana, we had access to a 1000yd range (Ryegate Gun Club) and the fee to join the club was $30 annually. When I work in Oklahoma or the Texas Panhandle, I shoot at Fouled Bore Precision and it's about $30/day if I remember correctly. Both places have web pages and if you call ahead and talk with the guys @ Fouled Bore, they can get you setup to shoot a full mile.
I pay 0 dollars to shoot as far as I can find a backstop... 
Same here!
i hate both of you.....
Thunder Valley Precision, $30/day out to a mile
Rayner's Range, $20/day out to 1000 yards
Both in central Ohio
So jealous of you guys. Shooting space is so limited here. I pay $225 annually to be able to shoot paper at 600 yards. To make it to 1K there are only three places I know of and two involve a 3+ hour drive. The other is a $1000 annual membership and you can only use the range at their convenience.
That's cray cray... One more reason for me to never step foot east of the Rockies. My spot that I do my mile shoots is about 45 min from my house. I am a lifetime member of a 600 club 5 min from my house that I paid 275 for once so I guess I have it good.
Lol, I was thinking the same thing. Range? I don’t need no stinking range!
Less than 5 miles from the house.
Where in Nev are you? This looks like Elko or Reno.
This pic was taken on the eastern edge of smith valley. That’s Mt. Siegel in the background.
My "regular" private range that I go to stretches out to 1 mile from the 1st FFP. 2nd FFP can get you out to 2400 yards or so. Up in Lampasas, TX.
Very strange wind conditions there. A true challenge due to the geography (slanted valley with an intersecting gully). Wind calls beyond 1150 behave quite differently there.
Roughly 20 Accuracy 1st targets are UKD. About 10 Larue auto-poppers (TG1) at UKD.
Buddy of mine has 2000 acres down in Seguin, TX. Nice setup there if you can keep the chiggers out of your legs and nutsack. Those chiggers down there evidently drink Chig-Away and DEET like it was whiskey, hehe.

So, it appears by the posts so far that if you live east of the Rockies, 1,000 yd ranges are hard to to come by and pricey when you find them. I was debating whether or not I wanted to lose some trees on my place here in East Texas in order to pursue a hobby. It looks like it might be worth it in the long run.
A little 375CT action out there a while back. I don't think I've taken any other pictures out there. Usually have 2 or 3 AI's laying all over. I know, 1st world problems.
I live east of the Rockies...just barely. Cheyenne to be exact, and my local range goes to just past 1000. It depends on what bench I'm shooting from. $85 per year. Or there is lots of public land around to shoot on. I grew up in N. Colorado, and Pawnee grasslands, also east of the Rockies was the place to go shoot long range. There's also a shooting range there that goes to 1000.
I’ll help clear the land for range privileges.
I might take you up on that. These yeahoos around here seem hesitant to come cut/buy a little over 3 acres of timber. I may end up cutting it myself.
0-1300 less than 1/4 mile from my house on family land. 0-100 22 range in my front yard, shoot out the front door of my "Tavern"
I can shoot 0-1300 yards easily at our farm about 4 mi utes from my front door...
Rifle manufacturers would be well served to find ways to proliferate ranges in some parts of the country.
For just 1K, two steps out through the kitchen slider onto our deck. Zero actual cost, indirect cost in thousands.

Ya that's a fuck job without a reacharound.
But if you think that's crazy, it's $40 - $50 to shoot one round of 100 sporting clays targets...…..
We have a family membership at Pawnee Sportsman's Club, which is a few miles east of Ault, CO. They have steel out to 1000 and the price tag is cheap, like $170 a year IIRC. To shoot longer, we set our own targets on public land where we can go over 2500 yards.
I was really interested to see the location in Clinton, SC but I see they don't allow .338 Caliber which is a huge bummer.
We can shoot up to 1000 yds for $20 a day at CTA here in commiefornia, about a 30 minute drive from the pad, up to 600 at ASR about 15 away..
And I can shoot past 1000 at our Missouri farm, when I'm there...
