Long range

Four hours away and 400 dollars vs 50 minutes away and free - so there's that...
But now that I have an AR10 I'm definitely going to have to invest in some instruction...
Most folks need help to hit targets much past 600 yards; spotting, calling wind, giving dope corrections, etc. Giving most shooters free access to a long distance range won’t do a whole lot for them. It would be akin to giving me a free airplane.....I don’t know how to fly it.
How many shooters here have a spotting scope that will work well at 1200yds+? It costs money to supply the Instructors with the know-how and quality equipment to get folks on target at long ranges, especially when the Instructors are teaching you what to do so that you can do it on your own later on.
Most folks would be better off driving a few hours and paying money so that they get the needed Instruction and assistance. I’ve never failed to get a novice onto steel, repeatedly, at 1,000yds+. Most folks would prefer to go out for free and hit very little, and learn even less, than to put some money down and actually learn something from the experience.
If everyone could do it, I wouldn’t charge for it.
I couldn't hit Alabama at 1200 yds, No matter how bad it needs shooting.
But Id sure give it a try and enjoy watching people who can.

You aren't far from me. I'd be for some casual shooting from time to time.

Would certainly beat going to GSH and shooting downhill for load development and such.

Could use something on the north side and not having to go down to Blakely.cmshoot , do you want to put on a joint class? if the OP allows it
It was always an availability issue for me, classes are always scheduled when I'm on a business trip or the "warden" has something planned. I've been trying to make it since I finished my ar10 build in May of last year...
