I'm looking for a rifle range around b'burg where I could do a little shooting, just testing loads, making click charts etc. I'd like to find one that went out to 800-1,000yds, but would settle for a 500yd range if there was one close. Thanks for any info.

check out this link it might help out. I do have friends that are part of a club with a range in giles but its only a 250 yd range

What in the world are you shooting that you need 800-1,000 yards?

Thanks for the info Krantz, I might be interested in that 250yd range if thats all thats around.


I'm really not shooting anything that I need 800-1000yds, I just would like to see how this thing groups at 500, 750, and 1,000yds, and also make a longer range click chart for some varmint loads.

Oh, and I'm shooting a .25-06 Savage 112 Varminter LP, heavy fluted 1 in 10 twist stainless barrel, dual pillar bedded, laminated beaver tail bench rest stock, Harris ultra-light 9-12" bipod, w/ Nikon Monarch UCC 6.5-20x44 AO scope mounted via Leupold dove-tail bases and Burris signature series rings with +30MOA.

Right now I'm just shooting some factory loaded 90gr P.E.P's, but I also have some 85gr Nosler ballistic tip (pushing 3,437FPS) hand loads that I've been wanting to try out. My buddy is also working on some Berger 115gr VLD's that I'd like to push out in the 800yd+ range.

Oh, and if anyone knows of some good groundhog hunting spots around these parts I'd def. be interested in that too.

Lemme know if you find a good range man. I've got a rifle that I'd like to step out for some long ranges.

Just to let ya know the giles range is a private one that will take any responsible person. Dues are 50 a year and i think you can take at least one guest maybe more. May could charge your guest a few bucks to offset the dues.

I'm interested in that one in Floyd, "Big Lick Longrifles." They've got a 500 yard rifle range and about everything else. I'll have to check into them.

Big Lick Longrifles 540-763-2792
184 Private Drive N.W.
Floyd, VA 24091

There is a range (well its just a guys field that they have setup) down in Franklin co. He's got a real nice bench and targets out to 500yds. Its about an hour drive down there though, and you'd have to go with me and one of my buddies, since its a private spot. I believe someone has an 800yd range in Franklin co. as well, my buddy was talking about it last time we went shooting, not sure on the details on that one though.

A guy at work here keeps telling me about a range in or near WVA that is a 1000 yd range (ridge top to ridge top) but I dont know the name of it.
