Public land to shoot out to 1300+ yards?

Post by khalvorsen87 » Tue Jan 16, 2018 7:11 pm

Not expecting much here but its worth a shot. Does anyone know a good spot to drop a steel target and shoot out over a 1000 on public land? I've driven around and been looking lately and haven't been able to find much that has good vehicle access (don't feel like hiking 3/4 of a mile carrying steel and a stand with a bum knee) and is also secluded enough to not interfere with hikers/birdwatchers/horses etc. None of the more localish pits I know of you cant get much more than a few 100 yards, and Mica's hours don't work with my schedule, and Rock Lake is way too much Money for the few times a year I'd actually do it.

I see this has been asked before but the replies are always about ranges and not so much just open spots on public land. Definitely willing to make a longer drive if needed.

Any tips are appreciated, PMs are fine if you don't want your honey hole forever posted online.

Does anybody know if Mica ever got their long-range setup operational again?
I know the used to have targets out farther than 1000 yards, but I'm not sure if they still do or not.

Last time I shot at Mica was Oct or Nov. Steel targets out to 1,000 yards but, nothing beyond that.

Range is still set up to 1000 yards. I was there two weeks ago.
