What is a typical day like for shooting your "opn range"? I'm contemplating coming out this Saturday and shoo past 400 yds for the first time. I think my scope dope is only good to 600 or 700 yds.
TVP has a row of about 20 concrete benches, and plenty of room to lay out prone. From this area, there are steel targets from ~170 yards to 1000 yards, plus another target at ~1700 (forget exactly how far).
Perpendicular to the range is a 100 yard range with a target backer for posting paper targets to get a zero. The 100 yard zero range also serves as a 250-300 yard rimfire steel range.
If you were to extend the line of benches 300 yards, you'd find yourself atop a steep hill. The top of this hill is "position 1", and provides steel from 560 yards to 1700 yards.
Halfway up that hill is the "headhunter" position 1, which provides spring loaded head-shaped targets (9" tall and 6" wide) from 300-600 yards, plus some other steel.
You can shoot from any of these areas, as much as you want as long as you're being safe:
1. Keep your CCW pistol in the car
2. Remove the bolt from your rifle until it's on the firing line pointed downrange
3. Keep your magazine out of the rifle (or don't load your blind magbox) until it's on the firing line pointed downrange
4. Don't put a cartridge into battery until you're looking through the scope and have the rifle aimed at the target you want to shoot
5. Don't shoot the rimfire steel targets with your centerfire rifle
6. Don't shoot anybody.
7. Have fun
Great place to shoot, bring lots of ammo (easy to fire 100 rounds in a day...easy) and have fun.
