SH ELR Trip - Dallas/Fort Worth - Hawks Double Mountain Ranch

[Yerman]

Hey guys, it’s time to get the 375CT dirty.

I found this place 4 hours from DFW and thought it could be a fun trip to get a few DFW guys together to head down there.

Packages – Hawks Double Mountain Ranch

I still need to call over there to get some details, make sure there aren’t caliber restrictions, etc.

For now, I’m gauging interest so post here if your up for going and I’ll reach out to you guys to coordinate.

My main focus will be on 2500+ yards so I’ll need a good spotter (I have the glass) but don’t let that deter you if you don’t have a rifle that will reach out that far. I’m more than willing to help you guys get on steel closer in and let you guys shoot my rifle. But if you have a dedicated ELR, ever better.

Thanks and let me know.

Their pricing is insane for the shooting range…
150.00 per day…
No thank you.

Took a class there a couple years ago. Class wasn’t much to talk about, but they had targets out to 3000+ yards. The facility was awesome, and the people that work there even better. Place is 40 square MILES. County I live in is 26 sq miles. Pretty mind boggling.

No thank you.

Other than driving to NF or BLM land I don't think your going to find anything less. RPR in Burnet will cost you that in a few hours and only 1770 yards. For ELR the range fee is the least expensive part of the day.

HDMR is 30 mins from our Texas property just east of Snyder Texas. My good friends, the Nixons, run the place. Don't think of it as $150 range fees per day. It's a 26k acre exotic game ranch that they are always guiding hunts on and there is lodging on site. There's a world class game lodge that's 10 yards from the shooting line. For the $150 you get all day at the place and they have targets setup from 1000y to over 3k yards. They have food, shuffleboard, billiards, AC, incredible mounts and much more in the game lodge and like I said, it's 10y from the shooting line. There's a ton of shade and nice grass to set your shooting mat on. What else can you truly do that only costs $150 for incredible experiences that last all day? It's worth it and then some. HDMR is the nicest place to shoot in Texas. The only thing that possible rivals it is the Greystone Castle and I haven't shot st that venue yet, so I can't say for sure.

On top of all this, most of the time they will get their target vision cameras out and setup, their spotting scopes out, and make sure you have clean targets and most of the targets have flashers on them. Is it more expensive than a standard range day, yes, because it's worth it.

I attached a picture from my first time out there, which was the first time I ever shot 1000y+. All I can say is the place is incredible.

i would be interested. i dont know that id be shooting at the extreme distance, but i've got a couple barrels / calibers i could bring out that i need dope on and start to stretch out past 1k that could probably get pretty far out there. sounds like it would be a fun weekend all around - meet some of the others here in the area

 

[Yerman]

Still putting details together. I’ll keep you guys posted

Hawks double mountain ranch is by far the absolute best place to practice , and 150.00 is a deal . just plan on shooting all day because there are a lot of targets, the clubhouse will spoil you and the guys are so helpful with anything you might need. The food is awesome and you will be comfortable. beautiful views and wild life .will do it again when the new barrels are on.

You replied to my thread on the Triple C shutting down. I’m in on this, also have a 375 Cheytac and would love to have another shooter/spotter to pair up with in 375. Ive got a NF spotting scope - can call shots depending on weather/terrain to just under 3,000 yards. When we going?

Sorry for the delay guys. Spring is coming and I'm thinking we plan something around beginning of April. I still need to call them and get the scoop. I'm not sure if we need to reserve a day, pay in advance, etc.

I've got a vacation planned with the wife in mid March and thinking shortly after that we can get something going.
