Re: Shooting range in GA

I'm jealous of having 650 to shoot. I am going to get my range built when I get home this summer, but will only have room for a 4 lane, 75yd pistol/carbine, with a 500yd rifle range cleared out next to it.
Post some pics of your range if you don't mind.
If you have any tips on building, best materials for backstops etc., let us know.
 
Re: Shooting range in GA

lol I can get 850 if I clear more but it's real thick with little trees. I may be able to do more pics in a few days. My tips for building lol all I had was a chainsaw and our bobcat and time lol. I just used dirt for the backstops. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: bs295</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I'm jealous of having 650 to shoot.

Re: Shooting range in GA

Property with good distance is around Elberton if you know it's there and have permission to use it. I've got access to a couple of places where we can stretch it out past 1000yds and am working on another to shoot nearly a mile.

Congrats on your range - make sure to use it often.....

Re: Shooting range in GA

Ace and Bill: Issac and I have got some various sized AR500 targets coming from the group buy, so we should try to get together sometime when he's not out on the boat and do a little stretching. I mainly shoot out at Chief's and have only been able to go beyond 678 twice, out at Ft. Gordon. Still haven't had a place to do quadruple digits yet.

And Ace, I've got a saw if you end up wanting to push it back and need some help. It's no massive tree feller or anything, just a 16" Husky... but I'm pretty quick with it and would be happy to help.
 
Re: Shooting range in GA

That would be fun for all of us out there and shoot. I dont have any of the ar500 steal I just use scrap plates and they work pretty good. If you want to come out here and shoot you can.

Yeah I am thinking of going back alittle more the max I could get is about 850. If yall want we can plan a day for yall to come out here or go somewhere. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: boudin</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Ace and Bill: Issac and I have got some various sized AR500 targets coming from the group buy, so we should try to get together sometime when he's not out on the boat and do a little stretching.

Re: Shooting range in GA

I just got back from shooting I tryed shooting the 4.5 inch plate ending up with a 2 inch group at 650

And another 3 inch group on plywood. I am very happy with those groups I'm not the best shot at all but it's still fun. I really need to work on a few things to get better lol mainly trigger pull.
 
Re: My Shooting range in GA

New member, have a range at our place in Jasper Co. Ga. Main range is 300 yds w/ 1" thick 2' x 2' steel plates at 200 and 300 yds, with a make shift 450 and 550 yd shots. Would like to compare notes.
 
Re: Shooting range in GA

yeah if we could get a few guys out here we could have it done in no time. It's ony another 200 yards of little trees. And then try it out at about 850 would be fun. Arts and crafts day+ shooting = FUN lol <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Wolvenhaven</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I'm over in Marietta too, if you want help clearing it farther just ask, I'm sure we could get a ton of us close by to come have an arts and crafts day + shooting. </div></div>

Re: My Shooting range in GA

lol as soon as you try it your hooked forever. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: redx</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The hunting property I picked up yesterday has the potential for a 650+ yard range, I dialed the owner in for a shot out of the back of my truck with his hunting rifle and he was hooked after hitting a vase from 600 on his third try. </div></div>

Re: My Shooting range in GA

I went and shot the first time today at 850 yards and with 3 shots I was hitting a 4 inch plate
smile.gif
. I hit it 3 out of 5 shots and the other 2 went right off the edge. The deer are going to be in trouble this year.
