That's not up the road, it's up the crik. I usually shoot every weekend that I am home, unless I am fishing or hunting. I use the range out on Tom Beal road just north of Lapwai but also go out and shoot across canyon lands and that's usually out on the breaks of the Salmon River.

I live 2.5 hours north of you. Any longer ranges down there with some steel to shoot?

Yes we have a set of 7 steel targets setup from 410 to 1170

That’s fantastic. I’ve got a 300PRC I’ve been meaning to stretch the legs on. Might have to make a trip down there.
