Couldn't help but notice what looks like an AD into the back of that shooting bench in your picture. Bet that woke someone up!The Annoyed Man wrote:Tacpro has a 1,000 yd range, but you have to either be a member or guest of a member to use it: http://www.tacproshootingcenter.com/facilities.html. I've shot there once, and it seems a pretty nice facility. Takes about an hour and 30 minutes to get there from Grapevine, west of Fort Worth, between Stephenville and Mineral Wells.steve817 wrote:Hello Folks,
Recently I have taken an interest in shooting at distances longer than my local gun ranges offer which is usually 100 yards. Where could one go (I'm guessing outside of DFW) to hone these skills? I'm talking up to 1000 yards.
Also, it looks like ETTS Tactical's website is being rebuilt, but they have a 1,200 yard range: http://www.ettsgunrange.com/. Here is their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ettsgunrange" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Their membership is not cheap, but you get a mighty fine long distance shooting range. A couple of buddies of mine shoot out there regularly. They are in Waxahachie.
If you've never shot at 1,000 yards before, you might want to hone your skills at 300-500 first. Even 500 yards is a LOT further than it sounds on paper. Here is my own experience at 500 (with pictures) at TacPro: viewtopic.php?f=87&t=74156&p=933696&hil ... ro#p933696" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
This picture was taken from the 500 yard line. There are firing lines at 200, 300, and 400 yds between the 500 yd line where this was taken, and the tall berm in the distance:
