[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 890437, member: 1007"] Thank you. It's been rumored for 10 years that they would turn that 100 yard range to a 1000 yard range. If and when it gets complete it'll be a sweet deal. I won't even complain that it's 150 miles from my house. I used to be able to shoot 1000 yards in a sand river bottom 50 miles away but the state deemed it a recreation area about 10 years ago and banned shooting of any kind there. That left me with one other place to go long but I can only get 725 yards out of it. It's an old abandoned open pit coal mine 75 miles away. Windy as hell which is great for practice but not so great for the fine tuning. The river bottom in the dead of winter would be flat dead calm in the morning so you could really fine tune drops and see the real accuracy potential of a load at distance. The mine isn't accessible by highway vehicle in the winter where the river was. This is exciting news. Sorry about the hijack. [/QUOTE]
