How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

I' m in the suburbs of Los Angeles, a weekend trip to a range that has 100 yard and 200 yard targets is roughly an hour' s drive each way. Thankfully I can shoot trap within a half-hour' s drive, and there' s a pistol range about 10 minutes away.

Got to wondering how far y' all have to drive to get to a rifle range.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

Our gun club is about 5 minutes away. Pistol Range, 2 100yd rifle ranges, trap, skeet, cowboy shooting, it has it all.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

Our range is about 15 minutes drive from my house and offers a 550yard centerfire range as well as a handgun range and rimfire range.For the shotgunners two skeet and trap fields are available.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

There' s a range on a SGL about a mile or so away-I hear the shooting everyday.But when I want to range shoot,I' ll go to my club which is about 30minutes away.They have 50-500yd rifle ranges,a handgun only range and shotgun pattern boards.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

couple miles away, but only 50 and 100 yard range, its on a wma with big dirt mounds behind the targets for bullet stops.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

About 20 mi. Good luck.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

I have my own range on the property . We have four covered positions and up to 300 yard targets ,and one bench from in my reloading room up to 100 yards to check reloads and chrono without having to go to the range . The only local shooting range around here has a 100 yard max range ,and is mostly for pistol shooters or trap .

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

If i just want to shoot i go onto my deck and shoot. i have a hundred yard range behind my house. in timber for the realistic hunting setting.;)
i have a area you can shoot oh.... how many yards is it across 80 acres? about an hour and 15 a way. but it' s my hunting club so i can stay there to for a weekend.
now that 80 acres straight no trees and flat. i lease 2000 acres.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

I have a 25 yard and 100 yard range in my backyard...:)

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

Bench rest and 250yd range right next to the house.I don' t shoot on the weekend when neighbors are all home out of courtesy but can shoot till I' m broke all week otherwise.Advantage to living in rural Maine.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

for years i used the 100 yard range at the local gun club,2 min down the road.they did away with the rifle range to put in a sporting clays feild.about 20 min away was a gun shop that had a 100 yard range,then they closed up shop.at this point i said these 100 yard ranges just arn' t cutting it.so i built my own 500 yard range with stations at 100,200,300,400 and 500 yards.and if i get tight to the road i can squeeze 560 yards out of it.its realy the only way to shoot center fire rifles.i believe its important to know exactly where your bullets are hitting at all yardages you might encounter while hunting.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

The one I use is 25 miles,and I guess thats good for me or I would be broke buying bullets to shoot.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

I have a 100 yard range at my home, but if I want to shoot up to 250 yards I have to go to the range which is only 1 mile from my house.:eek:

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

I have my own range.on my property.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

Just down the road a piece. About 2 miles. 25, 50, 100, and 200yd ranges.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

I have about a five minute drive to get to the club. We have 50,100,200,300y rifle, 50y pistol, sporting clays, 50y archery, and most weekends 3D archery. It' s pretty nice, when I find the time to go, I pack the truck up with enough equipment to keep me busy for several hours.

I used to have a 300 yard range in my back yard. Built a nice bench and everything. I' ve since moved and now I have to drive 40 miles to get to a 100 yard range.:( Oh well, at least I still grt to shoot.:)

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

about 2 miles to my friends house 100yd range or 8 miles to my brother-inlaws 600 yds

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

about 30mins each way.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

If I only want to shoot 200yrds or less, I only gotta go bout 50-100yrds from my house, got a waterway behind the place that' s straight as an arrow till it bends at 223yrds, it' s bout 15-20 feet deep for the length of it. If I want to shoot longer, I just climb out and turn east, I can shoot around 825-850yrds, right around 1000yrds if I move back and sit closer to the road. Real big bluffs up on the edge of a hay pasture. In both cases, I' m shootin away from the closest town (bout 1/4mile). The nearest real range is bout 4-5 miles, nearest clay clubs are bout 11 and 15 miles away from my home, and there' s one 5 miles from my apartment at K-State. There' s a rifle range bout 10 miles from my apartment too, archery range 3 blocks and a pistol range somewhere around a mile away, but I shoot so much at home I never go there.

Just figured I' d rub that in you " city folks" noses a bit ;):D;):D:)[8D]:D:)[8D]

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

Takes 5 or 10 minutes to get to the rifle/pistol range (outdoors), there is also a nice archery course there too.;)

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

If I want to shot my rifle which I like to do. I have to drive an hour and a half one way. But there is a indoor pistal range about 15 min. away but I dont really like shooting indoors.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

I have a range set up in our back field, about a quarter mile from the house. I have the range' s marked out to 325 yards and a shooting bench that I drag back and forth to whatever range I want. Just have to feed the cows before you shoot though or the darn things will come stand in front of the target until you go feed the stupid things.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

2 places to go, both roughly 30 minutes to get to. First a public range out to 100yds and then on a friends property out to 600yds.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

i built a dirt backstop on my property but we still belong to a gun club that 7mins drive and it has: 1 (300yard, 200yard, 100yard, you can use what you want for highpower), 1 100yard rifle range, 1 silohuette range for center and rimfire, 1 standard pistol range out to 50 yards. 1 Practical pistol range, 1 set of falling plates and poppers. 1 range with moving targets, another 50 and 100yard rifle range. and 2 trap fields and 1 skeet field. i think that covers everything. though i does cost $100 and 12hrs of work

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

45 min.each way to shoot skeet and an hour each way to sight in the slug gun 25,50 and 65 yds. an hour and a half if I want the 100 yd range. every minute of driving insures hours of pleasure come fall.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

Got an 85 yard range in my backyard. Belong to 2 clubs with 200 yard ranges. One is about 35 minutes and one is about 20 minutes away. My backyard range is long enough to test and do some quick sighting in.

RE: How far do you have to go to get to the range?
 

all i have to do is go outside. i have a 300 yard range in my backyard with a birm evey 50 yards.
