long range shooting

[ADDICTEDto.223LOWERS]

does anyone know of a range that is longer than 200 yards? i have a 24" super bull barrel coming in to use with my super sniper and i want to take advantage of the whole 24"

The Angeles range has metal plates out to 800 yards, I think. As far as paper targets go, I think their max is either 200 or 300 yards.

That's still not very specific. If you are near Sac Yolo County Sportmen has a 1000yd range, but I think you would have to go to an event or with someone who is allowed to use it, maybe Pathfnder will chime in.

IIRC, the range in Oroville goes out to 300 yards.

[esheato]

Oroville goes to 550.

Yes, there is a 1000 yard range located in Sloughhouse, headed up by the Folsom Shooting Club. Most of the time you will need to go to one of the competetive events to shoot past 200 yards, but there are club members who use the line on Tuesdays occasionally.

It's a top notch facility.

Better get gooding at reading the winds if you're going to shoot past 300 yds

[NRAhighpowershooter]

actually you'll need to start learning to read the wind at 300 with a .223

where in Norcal are you? How close to Sacramento? Sac Valley has a 300 yard range available to non members. You have to "qualify" on the 100 yard range first, and then they'll give you a card so you can use the 300 yard range anytime you come (nobody laugh. you'd be surprised how many people can't hit squat at 300 yards and shoot the target frames to pieces).

They also have the 500 meter silhouette range (NO FMJ or MAGNUMS ALLOWED) which is available to members. A member can bring a guest or 2 with them onto the silhouette range.

The 1000 yard range is available only to members, who have shot in a qualifying match and been signed off by the match director, or to people (non members & members) who are actually shooting in a long range match.

If you have never shot past 200 yards I STRONGLY suggest you work your way up. It can be very difficult to tell where your shots went if you miss paper at 300 yards and beyond. If you can't tell / don't have a spotter along you are just wasting ammo and time, and possibly being a danger to other people.

If you want more info about Sac Valley you can't find on the website feel free to email me.

This range sounds good, but do they allow .50cal rifles? The range at Sacramento doesn't.

The longest range at Yolo is 100 yds. I've been amember for five years, and wish they did have a 200 and 300 yd line.

He did not ask for a 50 cal range.
