    List of Shooting Ranges/Clubs?

    Is there anywhere on this forum that keeps an updated list of ranges/clubs for those of us looking for a place to shoot? I'm having a hard time locating a range in my area, Greenville SC.

    First ladder test. Looking for suggestions.

    First ladder test. Looking for suggestions.

    Starter Weapon System

    If you want the longer distance you mentioned (800,900,1000) then you should go with .308 over .223. I haven't heard of a 1000 yard .223. 600 yards may be about the best you can do with a .223, though I'm not the expert. But there are many different calibers available that can do what you're...

    260 Rem

    I'm going through the same thing with my .308. I had a Remington 700 ltr that shot really well until I completed my "upgrades" as shooters tend to do. I first tuned the trigger to about 2.5 lbs. The decided to upgrade the stock, bottom metal, barrel..... Now it's a completely different gun...
