Looking for a longer range

[mr_yuk]

Hi,

I'm new here and my searches didnt turn up much so I thought i'd ask the md experts.

Right now i shoot at 200 yards over at the AGC. I just mounted a vortex 6-24 viper on my savage 10 .308 and I really want to stretch her legs!

Does anyone know of a range where I can take her past 500 yards within an hour and a half of Columbia? If its private could you also list membership fees?

Thanks!

Tim

And welcome to MDS, by the way.

Are they only open for matches? I'm no where near ready to compete yet. I'd like to practice at that distance first.

Thanks!

Try reducing the size of your targets until you are able to shoot on a longer range.

I think other then Mayberry 200 yrds is the best you'll find close to home.

Its not 500+, but DSC has a 300 berm down by Salisbury ... the drive is pleasant as long as you aren't fighting beach traffic

www.340defense.com range near charles town goes to 400. $35/yr + $20/hr, also annual memberships.

www.peacemakernational.com near martinsburg goes to 1000, need a membership. they do however have steel at 250 and that section of the range is $10/day.

isaac walton near mt airy that goes to 300.

most of these are prob outside your radius but at least you can check them out.

Stoney Creek Fishing and Hunting Club in Pasadena has a 300 yard range, but only members can shoot at that distance (guests are limited to 200 and less).

Just to add: peacemaker is well worth the price and drive, its heaven for firearms. To use the 1000yd ranges you need to fill out a form and create a ballistic table using chrony, and supply a signed target with 5 shot 100yd group under 1 moa. No big deal only takes a few min and they have wifi in the office to used online ballistic programs. You may not have to be a member I think they told me they changed that but you have to go with a member....can't remember.

the IWL in mt airy is only 100yds unless there is a different one but I shoot HP RC matches there once a month.

It's not like living out west where you just pull off the road and start shooting.
