I use private property and sometimes Pigeon Hill just south of St Joseph, Missouri. Pigeon Hill is unmanned and free for public use. I believe the ranges are 25yds, 50yds, and 100yds. They also have a shotgun range and archery range too.

I've not heard of anything >100yds in our area, public or private. I use Parma Woods for ease of access and mostly pistol shooting due to thier steel bullet prohibition. I do all my milsurp and rifle at Pigeon Hill. Lake City is out of my reasonable travel radius.

This is a good start.

How about Oklahoma, Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, and all the other states where we have members?

Ft. Benning is right up the road from me, they do have a couple of public ranges,as far as shooting distances i don't know that.

Pretty sure you can shoot 600+ yards.

When I was a member at the Ft. Benning range, IIRC there was a gong at 300 meters and another at 500 meters. You could probably put up a freestanding target farther - if you could see it through the weeds...

Now I have to wait til I get to the Mississippi Delta during deer season, where I can put up a target as far out into the cotton field as I want, and shoot from the bed of my truck.

Fort Leavenworth allows use of it's small range if you're an ID card holder but its so laden with classes, tests, regulations, and registration (yes, weapon registration to your name by serial number) that no one I know uses it. Its basically so cumbersome, and designed to be that way, that they run off anyone.
