Any long range shooters here?

Legba · 04-06-2008

I am just getting into it myself. Just wondering if anyone here is involved in it.

Shore am. It's just hard to find good long range in this area. I went to Oklahoma last summer and was hitting 900 yards easy. It would be nice if I could find a 500-600 yard range somewhere around here.

Its a really good time if you have the time and patience.

Dont know where you are located at but there is a 1000yd range close to where im at. You shooting 308?

whiskeytangofoxtrot · 04-07-2008

Well I am located about 30 min north of Terre Haute. May have to make my way up there sometime.

Yep, the .308 is what I was shooting, with the match ammo prices now, I'm getting started on reloading.

May have a .50 on the way, if it works out, I'll definetley be up.

Another one here, I'm shooting 6.5 Grendal,.308 and .300 Win. Magnum. Looking at
building a 6.5x47 Lapua bolt gun to replace the Grendal. The local ranges are 200 &
500 yards, but I have access to a nearly 1700yd. soybean field in the fall.

Well I'm not shooting the big guns yet. I'm starting off with my 22-250 and working my way up. Just starting to get into reloading also. Figure I'll see how it goes before I buy another gun. Probably be a 308 nothing real fancy to start.

There is a 1000 yard match once a month at Camp Atterbury. cihprs.org

I shoot long range at Attuerburry.
There's a nice range in NE Indiana called Young Long Shot.

sloughfoot · 04-28-2008

I live in NE Indiana and I have never heard of a range called "Young Long Shot". Where is it located? Do they have regular sheduled matches?

I travel around to Ypsilanti, (200,300 and 600yds) Camp Perry (200,300,600, and 1000 yds), Cincinnatti, (200,300,600yds) and Atterbury (200,300,500,1000yds). Also, Lafayette, Lima, sometimes WI, MN, IL, and TN. A lot of Southern Indiana shooters go to Fort Knox, but I have never shot there. And of course my home range Fort Wayne Rifle and Revolver (200,300yds)

Are you folks "F"class shooters, NRA Classified competitors, or casual shooters?

Competitive rifle shooting is my passion and just about all that I do on weekends during the season.:do2:

Maybe I will see you on the range sometime...
