    Hello,
    I live in Elkton, MD and would like to know if there are any ranges where I can shoot out to 1000 YDS.

    Thanks,
    Paul

    First, welcome to MD Shooters!

    There are a few 1000 yard ranges but they will be a few hours drive for you. Bridgeville Rifle and pistol club is likely the closest. There is also peacemaker in WV and Mifflin County Sportsman Association in PA.

    If you are interested in PRS Shooting, check out the Mason Dixon PRS as they shoot in New Holland, Mayberry, and Mifflin.

    Is there a range at Fort Meade? If so, what distance is/was the range there?

    Do they still open it to the public for competitions?

    There is a range at Ft. Meade, max distance is 600 yards. You have to be a member of one of the clubs that is allowed to use the ranges as far as I know. Meade Rifle and Pistol club is one. Access is limited.

    Used to shoot there before the State Association and the range parted company years ago.

    1000 and 600 are very different balls of wax in my experience, mostly due to 308 starting to run out of steam at 800. I could nail 500-600 with my eyes closed compared to 1000.

    600 yards?? I belong there and the longest range we have is 300 yards..
    Is there another new range this year?

    Nope - no new one that I’m aware of. I’m a member as well and only to 300 although its my understanding that they have property to expand to 500. (But no plans)

    I suspect the poster confused with New Holland. That has to 700. Its east of lancaster..

    When did they get a 600? Farthest last I knew was 300. New Holland has a 600 from what I understand
