Longer Range Shooting

Recommended Posts

Anyone have a good place to stretch out to 500 or 600 yards or so? Usery and Avery have membership and competition requirements. A couple of my buddies and I would like to find a good, safe location where we can practice at some longer ranges. The 300 yard range at Usery is fine, but we'd like to stretch it a little farther. Somewhere closer would be preferable, but on the rim is fine too.

 

Thanks.

I can get you out to 500 at Rio Salado...You can actually go 600 on paper or 500 on steel targets. Once you shoot in 3 matches you can use the long ranges without any hassle. Its cool as heck because there is no one breathing down your neck like at Ben Avery. If you go after 2pm it is a ghostotwn on the long range. Rangemaster comes around every 30 min or so to make sure no one is getting to wild.Yes you need to be with a member to use the long ranges but I am sure there is no problem finding someone in here to get you on. If you are in need hit me up as I am there at least twice a month and dont mind helping anyone from the forum out. Its actually about 5 degrees cooler than Avery and they have a full on kickass gunsmith "ACCURACY SPEAKS" on site. They have helped me more times than I would like to admit. Hard to go long range anywhere in the desert these days and stay safe. The offer stands, I can get you guys on if you want, let me know.
