[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 358290, member: 2261"] Hey guys sorry to be so late to the party but every once in a while real life gets in the way of my forum participation. I've talked to Noel and here is essentially what we are planning to do. I belong to a priavte gun club in Boulder City, NV. I am allowed to bring a reasonable number of guests to the facility at any given time. Our facilty has 1,000 yard range, with target pits, as well as 900, 800, 60, 300, 200 yard firing points. The chances that we will be permitted to use that range is between Low and None. To shoot on that range you must shut down the remaining portion of the member range. But, we also have 4 100 yard shooting berms for getting zeros and a steel target range with a covered shooting point and either 5 or 6 concrete benches. Pus plenty of area to belly flop for shooting F-Class or belly benchrest if you like. we have Shilouette steel targets currently set at 200, 300, 400, and 500 meters. As well as a target set up at 864 yards and an impact pit that can accomodate a target at 920 yards. WE have teh ability to supplement each distance with other target types, including standing and pop up aromor plate steel We propose shooting for zeros and then drops at the steel shilouette range using either the 864 or 920 impact pit points. The next day we will venture to teh desert for the long range portion of our agenda. I do considerable Long-rang to Extreme Long range shooting in the Nevada desert. I have a location that i use that is on BLM land, but is accessable only by permission of the Moapa Piute Tribe since you must cross their reservation located Nrrth of Las Vegas to get there. I HAVE such permission and so will teh folks that accompany me.
