where to shoot out to 1000 yds

[deserthntr]

well after pulling the only elk tag in my house hold, a 22 north late hunt, i am pumped to get going... i have a long range rig and know it doesnt contain enough energy to humanely kill and elk at 1000, but i would like to shoot out to 1000 yds to make 700yds or under more comfortable. i can consistently hit balloons out to 600 yds, but a balloon is alot different than your heart pumping a million miles an hour. does anyone know where i can shoot out to 1000yds on the east side of town, either off the beeline or in that general area? im in mesa... btw i have my 6.5x284 shooting 1/4 MOA, so i know the rifle is capable just depends on me

Off the b-line may be kind of tough but down towards Florence and out toward Superior should be pretty easy to find a spot

alright, i have no problem going that direction, the only problem i see there is with how flat it is, will i be able to get a line of sight at that distance?

Plenty of spots near florence to get out that far. Florence Kelvin highway isnt too far. Between there and black mountain just find a hill and set up your target. Plenty of flats with a few hills high enough to shoot from and be able to see 1000+ yds to your target. Also a few spots off beeline come to mind. Mesquite wash east side of the rd there are a few areas you can shoot that far. Might have to work at it a bit but it is definitely possible.
