1000 yard shooting

**Lapuatom** · October 17th, 2009, 05:50 PM

I am looking for a range that enables target shooting out to 1000 yards. I know that McDonald sportsman club has a 600 yard range but I want to work out a long range sniper rifle out a little farther.I shoot when I can at nearby farms but can only do that so much.(don't want to wear out my welcome there). Any help would be welcome.
thankyou

When you find this 1000yd range, be sure to post the location. I have been looking for the same thing.

Are you a member there? I was considering joining that place just for the 500+ yd range. I would like to visit there some time, it seems like a great place. (and military get membership free)
