Maybe you guys can help me out with this. I’m looking for a public shooting range to be able to shoot 1,000 yards. It could even be a pay by the day range. My Dad and I have a few rifles that we would really like to try at that distance. I live in western Virginia and would definitely be willing to travel and make it an overnight trip. Thanks

There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

Kettlefoot Rod and Gun Club in Bristol Va was planning to put in a 1000 yd range. I don't know if they have yet.

It’s a ways away from you but out here there’s millions of acres of public land where you can shoot 1,000+ yards in any direction you like, just have to bring your own target and bench

be prepared to have to shoot at shorter ranges to prove you can do it

many places will not let you shoot 1000 till you have shot 200 , 400 ,500, 600 ect if you can't hold a group or find your dope then your not moving longer

Thanks for all the recommendations. We have a good Range here at home but it only goes out to 300 yards.
