I live in Niceville and I've been stationed at Hurlburt for the last 7 years. There is a nice 200 yd range on Hurlburt open to anyone with a military ID (i.e. AD, retired,...) They have a High Power match every month. Pascagoula is the closest 1,000 yd range and has a High Power XTC match once a month and a long range (600 or 1000 yd, you choose) match every month. It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive for me to get the Pascagoula but its Interstate all the way. The Army 7SFG is building a new camp on Eglin and we are hoping they will build a 1,000yd KD range. Eglin has the room just not the interest. The Army has the interest so we'll just have to wait and see. I hunt on public land, either Eglin range or some state forest land near by and haven't found anything close to long range yet. Nice place to live though. I plan to retire soon and stay there.
