Re: any one from kansas
So Axe, there any place up there that a guy can shoot to say 500-600yd or more? It might be worth the trip to see if I can hit something!

Re: any one from kansas
stationed at Riley, go to Topeka to eat now and then, no offense but that whole town seems rough to me, being nice. Bet one could shoot long range at aforementioned non-productive "citizens"

Re: any one from kansas
300 is the limit at http://www.capitalcitygunclub.com/
up north there is a public 100 range at horton
i guess its private land for anything further. i find it hard to believe after driving across this state that there is not someplace where a guy could stretch out past 300y

Re: any one from kansas
I agree with Topeka being rough, but I like it better than Lawrence anyway. Lawrence is ultra liberal. Even the waitresses and gas station clerks are snobs. In Topeka, they just rob, stab and shoot, which I can deal with.
You need to get out in the country and meet the real Kansas people.

Re: any one from kansas
Topeka is like a mini DC. Anything close to the capital is suspect. Lawrence as stated is way liberal, doesn't help I went to K-State. Check out some of the small towns that are close but far enough to discourage low life's.
There are some guys from up there that come down to Tulsa for the 600 and 1000 yd. F-class matches. Get out be polite no telling what you might fall into.

Re: any one from kansas
Come down to southern Kansas, south of Wichita. There is plenty of open pastures but no public place to shoot.

Re: any one from kansas
Any Hide members near Sedgwick County that know of a closer place than Hutch's Central KS gun club for longer range shooting? Getting tired of shooting indoors at Bullseye and the LEO range is only 50 yards.

The Air Capital Gun Club is in Wichita but according to their website you have to be a member and they only have 100 yards.
I would say your best bet is private land. Get to know a farmer, help him with some chores on a semi regular basis and you could work yourself into a pretty good deal. You could also move out of the city and buy some land.

Re: any one from kansas
There are mostly individuals)private property) to get past 100yds around here. I don't know of anything that gets out there to far in the whole state. It's closer for me to go to Oklahoma to shoot past 500yds.

Re: any one from kansas
Come out west I'll get you to 1000 or further, Syracuse has a club to 200 yds, suppose to be extending to 500 soon.
