Zoomed in, the treeline is just over 1,900 yards.

Looking back from the 1,900 target.

This is from the far back shooting position. That is GPSed to around 3,000 yards. </div></div>

Is this what Heaven looks like?
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

Yes it is, Thank you. We are very blessed to have a few spots close to us to shoot, from 1,400 to 3,000 yards, that are all with in an hour drive or less.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

I have a new TRG42 .338 that I've had out to 1000 and I'm itching stretch it out further. I have some Predator Solids on the way from SW Ammo that I want to try next.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

Count me in. Did you come up with a daily charge yet?
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

Got a .408 CT improved that's just dying to stretch its legs past one mile. Lots of ammo on hand as well. Mind if I join you guys sometime? I live way out on the Eastern Shore but went to school at Radford so I'm familiar...

Samstone, we would like for you to join us sometime. We are planning a big shoot so get ready.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

I am in n.va and will like to shoot upto 500 yds to 800 yds. Is there a minimum distanc you hav to shoot? When are you guys shooting next ?
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

Our targets are from 100yds to roughly 2800yds. Hey Gameonn, What are you shooting? As soon as it dries up, we will go shooting.

I am acually shooting a very accurate .223 77 blackhills out of 700 platform. I have shot 300 yrds at qantico and its a tack driver. I want to push it to its limmit. The only reason i have not gone for a bigger caliber is because of placeses to shoot them. But yours sound like a very good setup and will help develop skills and equipment.

Let me know when you guys are shooting next. Thanks
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

I know a crap load of guys from the Virginia Beach area that would kill to get out there and streach out their rifles. C2's 300 yard range just ain't cuttin' it. Unfortunately I deploy within the week so getting the chance to come out is not happening.

Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

I am from WV and only get to shoot out to 500yards. If you guys dont mind a newbie coming out I would love to join you all for a weekend.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

Savage 110ba in 338lm

I would have to start out close and work my way out. Right now I shoot at 500 yd just about every weekend.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

Hello, Everyone who has asked me when we are going to shoot next, and where we'll be. This is it

http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3206753&gonew=1#UNREAD

We'll be at Ray's Fun shoot, and be bringing a few new toys of our own to debut, and let you shoot if you'd like. We'll also be there in case anyone has any trouble, or needs a quick fix. Ray's is always a nice place to shoot, very knowledgeable bunch of people, and plenty of food to be had.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

I would love to head down yall's way for a weekend! Please PM some info on this!
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

The land deal didn`t go through. We have other places to shoot besides the land we was trying to lease.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

Man that is some sweet land wish I had all that room
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

I'd be interested but I can't get a permit to move my 105MM Howitzer on the Highway!!
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

As soon as the weather breaks, lets get together and shoot. Send me a PM for info.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

I would love to shoot out to a mile once or twice, I have a couple of friends and I from Richmond that would be interested if you would have us down.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

I've only got a GAP .308 but I'm in. How often do you guys shoot?
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

We usually shoot every other weekend. I`ll send you a PM ahead of time.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

Yep...that would be lots of fun. I live in Ceres and that would be great to have new long range friends. Per my chart I would need 118 MOA...new base ???

Thanks for your time and invite.

Hold high and shoot straight
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

I've recently picked up a 338LM and have been hoping to find something like this. If there is room sometime, I'd love to tag along!
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

Newberry, we use 60moa bases on our rifles we shoot over 2000yds. I don`t see the need to shoot big guns (.338`s and bigger any closer than 1000yds. Thats helps to leave more elevation in the scope.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

Yep...that's for the 7mm rem...I have the L 192 bat action. Where/who has the base I need.I talked to Near Scope and he has 60 MOA rings 3 total $320.00.

Shot me a e-mail with info...I'll buy it next. Got to shot with you boys.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

I only use Ken Ferrell bases. He will build a custom 60moa base for around $200.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

Thanks...I sent Bat a e-mail and he is getting me a price and lead time. he had blanck in stock. Your price $200.00 is a good price I would think. You would need the gun ?? correct ???.I check with Ken.

Hope to meet you soon
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW VA?

I'm glad someone bit the bullet and had Mr.Farrel fab one up.
Just picking at ya old man. When we shooting again? No fly's at the chicken farm right now !
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW

Happy day someone else will run the targets.Just let me know and I'll do anything to help. I can bring my 4 wheeler if need be. Just a ideal if the local fire/chruch groups could feed us for $$$.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW

where exactly where do you guys go shooting? I can't shoot out to 3000 yards quite yet since I only have a 6.5 Creedmoor but I have gone out to a mile with it and would enjoy to shoot at least 1k or so.

I'm a student at Virginia Tech so just seeing how far of a drive it would be for me.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW

Triceratops, from va tech the longest time would be about 1.5 hours

That's not bad at all. I'm almost 2.5 hours from Thunder Valley Precision when I'm home.

I may have to come out sometime and check it out and shoot a little bit if that's cool.
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW

I may make the drive from SW Ohio if timing is right..
 
Re: Any Interest shooting out to 3,000 yards in SW

Hey reloader492, on your 50, what scope & base setup do you have? It takes alot for a 50 to get to 3000yds.

Anybody coming by the foot hills of NC? lol I'm not sure how far of a drive it would be for me but at least 2.5-3 hours.

Are you enrolled this semester? I'm in Blacksburg and it would be cool to partner up for a shoot in the area sometime.

I'm assuming you keep a rifle with you.
 
Did yall get the property I would be interested in shooting out to 1k-1.5k sometime I dont have anything to shoot out past that much more since i am shooting a .308. but I would make the 3 hr drive a couple times a year. Let me know.
 
Is this still happening? Would love to shoot! I am up in Christiansburg, VA, so not far at all. Would be able to bring others as well. Shooting a 6.5 Grendel AR.
 
You had my mouth watering looking at all the photos of where you are going to shoot out to 3000yds
