so guys when you join a range what r some of the must haves ? Mine r hanging targets / some type of deck/also a board at 100yds to check your zero/ a lane dedicated from 200yds to 1k when i say dedicated i mean close to the exact yardages so you can really get your dope real close and calibrate your mv. other targets at UKD is fine.

The neighboring range is pretty good too.

I was a ROMAD. I don't like your position. All I need is a PRC, protractor, compass, stop watch, and map.

At my south Texas ranch or deer lease (meaning private land) with a huge ass clear sendero out to 1400 ish yards or so... I can set up any target I want anywhere I want.

For long distance shooting I have a private range I goto that checks all of your boxes. I would like to find a range for more than just PRS. I would like to be able to run and gun with a carbine and pistol to practice some.

They actually allow that at JTAC.

It's an extra $20 per month but you get unlimited use of everything at the $85.00 rate.

This was a pic where I was flexing with the new axsr 😂, but this range has a lot of what I like in a range. Lots of ukd steel, and out to a mile. Nice views. There are some vehicles in there with targets as well. Switchy wind, at least the other day.

Dream: Shooting out your back porch/window/walk out basement?

I was watching a YouTube channel, I think it was called the Military Arms Channel. What he was shooting isn't important, where he was shooting I thought was just a dream setup. It looked like he had a shooting bench inside a walkout basement, at least that's my best guess. It appeared he had a...

Dan, we could make a quick drive out to Idaho and shoot as far as we want. And, the chucks are up for about the next 6-8 weeks...
Well, the mountain chucks are.
The ones in the lava fields will go down before mid July

Ooookkkakaaay. How many hours is this? I just think we'd eat up the days I could get free driving vs flying By the time we got there have to turn around and head back!
 
My ideal range has no RO and no fudds. Why yes I happen to be a member of just such a range.

One that is no where near any of my neighbors and on which I can shoot to my heart's content without being SWATed by any of them. :mad:

As for the characteristics themselves, for a while I was content with a 25-50yd short range for pistols, a 100 yd section for my ARs, but now that I'm into long range shooting, I'm going to have to figure out how to do 500-1000yds in a similar venue.
 
No heated and ventilated indoor shooting range for winter = poors.

Any range that's not a public range is a winner in my book. I swear anytime I have no choice but to go to a public range, there must be a secret APB that goes out to all the retards in my area who are gun owners and they have to show up where I'm shooting. 🙄

Man, it is brutal. This may be the hottest day we get this year. And now we have lightning. If I wanted to live in Florida, I would have moved there.
 
Gotta figure out where to set up but my Great Granfather bought 5000 acres (well, 15000 but 10K was sold off during the Great Depression) in the 1920s. Fenced all the way around and family only on the property. The old fire roads might work...

The roads mark the property boundaries.

If I may ask, just out of curiosity, what are the annual property taxes for that land parcel?
