1600 yards in Vegas last weekend

[TOPO-sniper]

My shooting buddy & his brother treated me to a little desert shooting last weekend. All three of us got hits for the first time on 1600 yard steel (in the road shown in the ellipse) using a .284. F-in sweet.

Later that day I was the only of our group to get a hit on the 8" plate at 900 yards....twice Good day.

Uh ya. Where is this spot? We need a new location and that one looks pretty good.

Nevada, 110,000 sq. miles of open gun-range.

Edit:

...well... 87% of it.

Were you shooting North or South of Vegas?

The site is north of Vegas, where we were talking about holding the ELR competition late last year.

Looks like work, but no Greys running around.

I have a place north of the valley where we can shoot a couple thousand yards! Let me know if you get a ELR comp together
