Where do you practice your long range shooting?

Recommended Posts

I would like to get into long range shooting and was wondering where everybody goes to practice? I live in Phx (east valley) and both ranges I know of only go to 200 yards. I know Ben Avery has a 1000 yard range but you have to be part of a club to use the facility. Do most just find a place out in the desert? Any suggestions for areas?

I head north to dugas rd. We have a couple spots up there . We can shoot up to 1000, but after 750 you would have to walk your target to get a 1000 yards. Ben avery sucks if you have more than one gun to site in, it would take all day with two.

Give me a call and I will tell you about a few area's that I use for 500+

 

Like the others have said Phoenix Rod & Gun Club have a 500 yard range that you can use. Rio also has a designated 500 yard range, but you must get approved to use it by shooting 3 long range matches and become a member.

 

Finding a desert spot is really the best!

I've been looking for a 500yrd spot in the desert close to the city. Been difficult so far.

 

When I have the time I just go up near dugas somewhere.

I found a nice 500 yard spot and used it a few times, but it's on state trust land. A lot of people go out there and recently FS put up extras signs stated no shooting state land. So they caught on and I stopped my illegal activity in fear of getting caught. So every time I go out I bring my range finder and drive around trying to find that one spot that no one else knows.
