They have targets at 100, 200, 300, 400, & 500 yards. You start out at 100 yards. To shoot at 200 yards you must be able to put 3 out of 3 shots into a 1.5 inch group at 100 yards. There are similar qualification requirements to advance each 100 yard increment. All of the details are in the range rules at the above website.

What the website doesn't mention is that you must do that with each individual rifle. They will give you a card that shows the distances you can shoot with each rifle, if you have more than one. They're making sure both the shooter and rifle are up to the task.

Top Gun would be a good place for you to get started.

That sounds perfect! Thanks!

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;
Oh I'm with you. I didn't for a moment think I was just going to start punching holes in paper at 1000. Ideally, I would like to do it in 100 yard increments. I had heard of TacPro, but when I checked out their web site it said that the range was closed for pipeline construction.

Long distance shooting?

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.
