I have lurked on and off for a while and just confirmed my membership. I have had a Ruger RPR in 6.5 creedmore with a
Vortex Viper HS LR 6-24x50 that I finally got around to messing with. Most of my shooting used to be my hunting rifles, pistols, and AR's but this seems to be quite interesting. Just wish I could find somewhere where I can reach out past 100 yards.

welcome from delaware while it does not make up for the differance in distance you could try a smaller target though I am not sure what sized targets you use now at 100 yards you could always try 1/4 inch circle stickers at 100 yards put 5 shots in that consistently and you should have no problem hitting a 3'' circle at 600 yards or something to that effect anyway good luck finding a place to shoot further than 100 yards

Welcome from MI as well. I live in SE Area. I don’t know where you’re at in MI but I drive down to Young’s LongShot down in Wolcotville, IN (about 2hrs) away. They have steel out to 1k yards.

I have yet to make it up there. Heard good things though. Hopefully Oakland tactical in Howell can get their long range up and going sometime. Would be nice to have a place close in the SE area

I'm in SE Dearborn actually. I have been thinking about joining a club but have no idea about any of them, if you have to be sponsored to join, or if you can even join currently with the COVID situation. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve shot several 1,000 yd fclass matches at MTC. If it wasn’t a 5 hour drive I’d have a yearly membership in a heartbeat. Awesome range. Lots of sand for spotting misses

Here is a link to the membership info. I live in Ortonville and it's about a 3 hour drive for me but I've been there and back in the same day many times. It's well worth it in my opinion.

That would be outstanding if they were able to open up but I'm not getting my hopes up. Great store though, it's one of the few places where you can put your hands on high end gear. I'm a desert tech guy and they are the only ones around selling them and parts for them. Very knowledgeable owner also.
Go Team Swanny!!

I've heard great things about that place. During a match at MTC at the end of the season I met a guy who's a member there. I took his number and was going to go with him as a guest to check it out. I've yet to take him up on his offer but definitely want to check it out.

No doubt, great store!!! Got my DT SRS A1 through them. Looking to get a new rig and debating between a Covert A2 through SAC (6.5 and 450bm conversion) or getting an AI... decisions decisions decisions 😩

I've got the A1 covert, even ran it all season at the mprsc matches. I've since ordered a MPA for a platform that is easier to use in prs style competition. I love my DT though!

I'm the only one at the match with a DT🤣

Welcome from the Clarkston area! We shoot at Young's as well. It's actually closer for us than MTC.

How much is Young’s? I’m near Toledo, I don’t know anyone who has shot there.

Give deb a shout. Very nice lady there. Super easy to join. I believe it was $300 first year and $200/yr after that for single membership. $30 for a guest you bring. Prices could’ve changed for start up but the yearly is still $200/yr
