oldbadger said:As a short term member (only 18 years), I am quite happy with the short range we have now. 500 yd is quite sufficient for sighting in and plinking. If you want to shoot further, there are lots of places where you can lie over a log on the river bank and plink away at more serious ranges.
Now don't flame me boys, just because I am new to this stuff and lack experience, I try to get some shooting in every year and will soon move out of the "wannabe" classification (no insult intended to the fine member who uses that handle, by the way).
I figure another 10 or so years at a coupla k rounds a year of centre fire stuff should let me move up to "semi-serious" rating. BTW, am I allowed to count the ones that missed completely? That would greatly improve my round count!
The whole point of building a 1000m + range is to be able to shoot further and with others interested in the sport in an envioroment that is safe, educational and enjoyable. I have been able to get the LR bug started in many people up here in the last couple of years and a few have bought and are in the process of ordering rifles. I would say I know well over a dozen that are interested in the sport and more that would dive into it if we had the facility. Not to mention the ability to host shoots for all diciplines of shooting. I believe our Area at this time has the finances to make this happen as well as the interest, it just a matter of all of us getting together and saying what's it going to take and how we going to do it. I think growth in the shooting sports is good for all of us from pelet - IPSC - Long Rang Precision.
