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.

I've been driving around some on blm lands and seen a few potential spots, not willing to pay the RIDICULOUS rock lake prices...

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.
