Hello everyone, i am new to this site and to long range shooting as a whole. I did do a long range shooting course at K&M last year with a friend and became hooked. I have yet build or buy a long range rifle yet, but am planning on it in the next month or so. After which i would like to start trying my hand at shooting competitions or maybe even more training courses.

Welcome to SH.
 
Being near Alexandria (Ellick) is good. You’ve got a 700 yard range right there in Leesville and they run matches there.

For some reason seeing the saying Ellick in writing made me laugh. Is the place you are saying called White Feather, if so I just joined their Facebook page. I have just bought a rifle and still in the breakin process, but after I will love to give it a try.

Haha, good ole “ellick”

Yes that’s the place. I’ll probably be there within a month. If you ever wanted to meet up I can help get some numbers for muzzle velocity and help dope your gun out to 700 that day

Sounds great, hit me up when you are heading that way and I will try to meet up. Also, are there any competitions coming up?
