1000 yard range

[zeddm91/30]

So my girl friend and I have been disgusting the possibility of putting up a 1000 yard range. Just trying to find out if its worth it and if people would come. Enough land is not a prob. It would be in rhodesdale md. Just want to see how many people would be interested.

There are a number of hard core long range shooters among the members here. If you also had 400, 600 and 800 yard target holders I bet you would get far more people on top of the 1,000 yard shooters. How many lanes? Membership or just friends?

 

[zeddm91/30]

It's going to be open to everyone. We may even start off out to 400 the move back from there. Not sure how many lanes. It will def be a while getting it all set up and funding it. The land is already owned. It's 620 acres.

The Eastern Shore version of Camp Perry!

What's the hold -up?

 

[Mark75H]

I'm liking it already

 

[hvymax]

Build it and we will come.

 

[STSCM]

Build it and we will come.

X2. You're not that convenient, but to unlimber the toyz would be worth the drive. Way things are going I'll have a lot of time to play in about a year, hurry up!

One thing, consider a limited membership. Google maps says I am 2 1/2 hours from Rhodesdale. I wouldn't mind joining your range, but let me pay a reduced fee for a reduced number of range visits.

If it would be pay per visit, forget what i just wrote.

 

[Mtwoodson]

Less than an hour from my house. I'm in.

 

[Dogabutila]

I wouldn't go regularly, but I'd def drop by every now and again when I have both the time and the ammo to make it worthwhile.

It's a little far for me.

 

[sparkymon]

I'm in! when are you going to open?

 

[Dave91]

Very cool. I shoot on the eastern shore and the farthest I can shoot is 400 yards but I have a few rifles that I'd like to stretch out to five or six.

 

[itsslow98]

I'm willing to trade my help building the range for permission to hunt the property!

 

[backnblack]

Would be cool, But on the wrong end of the state.

 

[zeddm91/30]

I'm in! when are you going to open?

We are still in the research stage so not for a while. Not sure if we're doing it yet. I really hope we can get it all worked out

 

[herr.baer]

I'd be up for that.

 

[jkray]

As others have said, it's a far drive for me but I would probably make a couple of trips per year especially if there were 1000yd competitions

We used to fly rockets in Rhodesdale. I would go down to shoot a few times a year.

The hardest thing may be the zoning. I don't know if that kind of use would be allowed under farm zoning in your county, but a lot of hunting stuff is allowed under farm zoning in most of the rural counties.

I'd be looking up the definitions and allowed uses at the court house before taking any other action.


I hope this thing flies
