Your own 1000 plus range?

[Blancoalex]

Suggestion would be to secure you a cheap deer lease that allows shooting in off season with 1000yds. You could setup your own range then.

 

[jimisbell]

That is a great idea. I am not a hunter so hadnt even thought of that. How does one search for a deer lease?

 

[remingtonman_25_06]

Isnt a mile 1760 yards? Or am I missing something? Haha

 

[jimisbell]

Yes, but I am desperate and anything over 955 yds sounds good to me.....LOL

 

[jimisbell]

Maybe I could share a lease with someone that was only interested in using it in deer season and we could share the cost.

 

[Blancoalex]

Being in South Texas should be plenty of "day" leases that might entertain the extra off season reveune.

Another suggestion would to setup a good 22 LR and push it as far as you can, 200-300 will challenge at first.

 

[jimisbell]

Not interested in 22. Been there done that...not ULR, but 40+ years in small caliber. Now interested in my Lapua 338.

 

[Blancoalex]

Try 7foxtrot in Pearsall ,Tx . I know you want to mile but master 1000 first. Good luck and have fun.

 

[jimisbell]

Yess, I agree. But I am at 955 now so it wont take long I will be looking for that mile.

 

[Pro2A]

Well I would move then, haha. The west is just so much better all the way around anyway...I only have to drive 15 minutes to shoot for miles...And it doesnt cost anything but $3 for gas to get there, and I'm the only one there to boot. Dont have to deal with anyone, or any idiots... That's just dumb what some of you guys down south and back east have to drive, and pay for to shoot LR. Come out west, we have plenty of room...

NO....we're all full up.....no more room. Stay back east where it's safe and not scary. You won't feel safe out here.

Same problem here. Good idea to get a group together an buy land but unfortunately, if you live anywhere near an urban area-- where there are jobs to feel your family-- land prices are through the roof.

 

[lyotehunter]

Yeah, but they would hang me for my politics.

oh yea move to Oregon where all drugs are legal but not a plastic straw to snort them through ha ha

I feel your pain being in south Louisiana. We have one place that goes out to 935 that is public. Other than that they have a 1 mile range just outside of Jackson, Mississippi but that's a 3-4 hour drive for me.

There is a range about 2 hours south of Shreveport, I think it called Long Range Alley. It had opened when I was still living in Louisiana and went out to 1,000 yards.

Just join a hunting club that has a power line right of way or clearcut you can see 1000.
You'll have it to yourself except during hunting season.
