What is your ideal shooting range ?

[scorpio 25]

so guys when you join a range what r some of the must haves ? Mine r hanging targets / some type of deck/also a board at 100yds to check your zero/ a lane dedicated from 200yds to 1k when i say dedicated i mean close to the exact yardages so you can really get your dope real close and calibrate your mv. other targets at UKD is fine.

 

[Supersubes]

My type of range

The neighboring range is pretty good too.

 

[Mike Casselton]

Sounds like you need to build your own range

[Mike Casselton]

Alright!!
@Steel head and @Supersubes you guys are just showing off.

Insert jealous face here.

 

[Charger442]

i just read the title, but id say my ideal shooting range is just inside of 100 yards. Thanks.

There is something about those open spaces that just yanks at me 'come here......' I flipping love it out west. If I was at your shooting mat I reckon I'd just sit there and gawk at the beauty for a while b/f getting set up. Flat beautiful man jealous!

I was a ROMAD. I don't like your position. All I need is a PRC, protractor, compass, stop watch, and map.

I guess it's not my "Ideal," but it's worth what I paid for it ($0.00):

 

[stello1001]

At my south Texas ranch or deer lease (meaning private land) with a huge ass clear sendero out to 1400 ish yards or so... I can set up any target I want anywhere I want.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

For long distance shooting I have a private range I goto that checks all of your boxes. I would like to find a range for more than just PRS. I would like to be able to run and gun with a carbine and pistol to practice some.

They actually allow that at JTAC.

It's an extra $20 per month but you get unlimited use of everything at the $85.00 rate.

This was a pic where I was flexing with the new axsr , but this range has a lot of what I like in a range. Lots of ukd steel, and out to a mile. Nice views. There are some vehicles in there with targets as well. Switchy wind, at least the other day.

Family paid for this:

Family bought this too. Benches added for the older folks who no longer appreciate getting down on the ground (and having to get back up).

Steel 200 to 1575yd

For anyone looking to build/buy "range land," there's some inspiration here:

Dream: Shooting out your back porch/window/walk out basement?

I was watching a YouTube channel, I think it was called the Military Arms Channel. What he was shooting isn't important, where he was shooting I thought was just a dream setup. It looked like he had a shooting bench inside a walkout basement, at least that's my best guess. It appeared he had a...

That would be me!

 

[sam4886]

That second hillside is right at a mile. Steel at ever 100 out to 1400 and one hanging at a mile too. Plus some stuff to put out wherever.

 

[Mike Casselton]

Dan, we could make a quick drive out to Idaho and shoot as far as we want. And, the chucks are up for about the next 6-8 weeks...
Well, the mountain chucks are.
The ones in the lava fields will go down before mid July

 

[atepointer]

Man I'd love to , but my back would be a disaster by the time we got out there. We need Star Trek beaming.

 

[hafejd30]

My favorites/must have is a range nobody else will ever be at

There's good fishing too.

 

[atepointer]

Ooookkkakaaay. How many hours is this? I just think we'd eat up the days I could get free driving vs flying By the time we got there have to turn around and head back!

 

[Sean the Nailer]

A range, like this-here Hide content, is "that which you make of it".

Much to that....

3000+ Yards?
No problem
From another landing we can get 4K.

 

[jbailey]

North of Bozeman, Hunting District 390 or 391.

 

[sandhiller]

A neighbor and friend of mine put this together a couple of years ago.
I believe he has steel to 1000 or 1200 yds.

 

[Im2bent]

My ideal range has no RO and no fudds. Why yes I happen to be a member of just such a range.

 

[MCHOG]

I'm seriously jealous of some of those venues photographed above.

 

[Fx51LP308]

One that is no where near any of my neighbors and on which I can shoot to my heart's content without being SWATed by any of them.

As for the characteristics themselves, for a while I was content with a 25-50yd short range for pistols, a 100 yd section for my ARs, but now that I'm into long range shooting, I'm going to have to figure out how to do 500-1000yds in a similar venue.

No heated and ventilated indoor shooting range for winter = poors.

1000+ yds? Pictures?

Now that would be something.

Your Poor is showing if you're living where it gets cold enough to require HVAC to shoot LR.

Too many blue people in warm areas.

Too many excuses.

I was just thinking, since we’ll eclipse 90 deg today, shooting in 30 is much nicer!

 

[Maser]

Any range that's not a public range is a winner in my book. I swear anytime I have no choice but to go to a public range, there must be a secret APB that goes out to all the retards in my area who are gun owners and they have to show up where I'm shooting.

Man, it is brutal. This may be the hottest day we get this year. And now we have lightning. If I wanted to live in Florida, I would have moved there.

Ideal Range would be providing over watch

You're welcome to shoot here.

I'm set, thanks.

Gotta figure out where to set up but my Great Granfather bought 5000 acres (well, 15000 but 10K was sold off during the Great Depression) in the 1920s. Fenced all the way around and family only on the property. The old fire roads might work...

The roads mark the property boundaries.

If I may ask, just out of curiosity, what are the annual property taxes for that land parcel?
