I'd like to get into shooting a match or two per year in the area. Unfortunately I don't really have a place to practice or a teammate to spot and practice with. I've gone to a couple long range shooting classes and have another one planned later in the year. If someone has a location where targets can be set up I'd be willing to go in on some targets and stands and what not to help bolster up a location. I'd prefer to have at least 600 yards available but barring that anything is better than the only 200 yards I have available at Izaak Walton.

If someone wants a partner to practice with I've got pretty much all the needed gear for one shooter and for a spotter. I'm a milrad shooter but I can get used to calling corrections in MOA for someone if they are willing to do the same for me in mrad. We'd be a slightly slower team for it but I'm very familiar with multiplying by 3.438 to give a MOA correction.

here's hoping...

There is a club up in Portland that does "Long Range" matches I think monthly. Might want to check it out. Forget the name now but you can search Portland "Sniper Match" Some kid that goes their has afew videos up. I sometimes travel down to Roseburg Area and will let you know next time I do so we can get some time in if you want.
 
Tri county gun club has 600 yard shoots, practical rifle, and a couple of precision rifle matches a year. They are in Sherwood, OR. Douglas Ridge is outside of Estacada, and they have quite a bit of 1000 yard shooting.

If you really want long range, drive past Burns, OR to Catlow Valley, or the Alvord desert area. I have shot areas around there that would go way past what any 50 cal, Chey-Tac, or other shoulder fired weapon can reach.
 
Greatly appreciated and good information but I was hoping to find someone who had a chunk of private land that they'd not mind a few people setting targets up on as long as we left them and kept them painted. ;) I mean a guy can dream can't he?

Yea I have a place where my dad and I shoot that gets us to about 1200 which is about the limit of my current setup. Its a lot of good spotter work to get consistent hits at that range. I'm shooting a 20" 308 with 175SMKs at 2567fps and 1200 yards is about 17 mils of adjustment (and about all that I have left including my 20MOA base under the S&BPMII 5-25). Anyway still yet hoping for a place a little closer to home and a competent spotter to team up with.
