[QUOTE="Rifleman97, post: 2026331, member: 103996"] I’m in Iowa where everything is flat so it’s hard to find a safe place to reach such distance. I had to get permission from 3 separate farmers to use their farmland for shooting, but only during the winter when the crops are out and the fields are not being used. I have one angle I can shoot about 1800 yards, but it was difficult to get one of the farmers to agree at all. There’s also a spot that goes to about 850 yards that has hunting land behind it, so you can only safely shoot there when no one is hunting that land. (There’s only one spot to park when hunting there, and it’s visible from where you shoot from, so you can easily tell if someone is hunting or not.) It’s not ideal but it’s something. Problem with Iowa is that any big open land that can be farmed sells for anywhere between $5000 and sometimes up to $10,000+ per acre. Figure a half mile, even if it’s thin, is a lot of acres for that price... it’s just easier to get permission and be accommodating with the farmers. [/QUOTE]
