There's many ranges here, but no rifle ranges with the distance I need.
I cull on a cattle farm, (image below), and shoot there most weeks but because head shots are required I don't shoot at vast ranges, only out to about 350 metres. It's only about fifteen minutes from home and easily accessible so I go quite a lot. It helps with the skills, but as a long range shooter 350 metres isn't much of a stretch. It's good to work on positional shooting and locating targets though.
For long ranging I have to drive over an hour or more and sometimes up to two hours depending on where I'm going, and I tend to make it a whole day thing, sometimes overnight so I can do some cold bore testing very early in the morning or late at night. There's only one chance to do a cold bore shot really, once a round goes through it's not cold any longer obviously.
Legit right? 👇
I've done several posts on this property, all found in this community.
Wow, that is some gorgeous property!
That's much nicer than shooting in the desert. 😆
Yeah...desert or lush green rolling hills...desert or lush green rolling hills...desert or lush green rolling hills...let's go with lush green rolling hills!
I have sole access here, I'm on the property's culling register with the government. I'm very careful about it, who knows I go there and where it is, because great properties to shoot on are so difficult to find. I was referred to this farmer (by another farmer) which is the only way I was able to secure it; from there it's a matter of building trust and it becomes a property for life.
The photo in the post itself is one of my other locations and I have another where there's some 160 year old ruins I shoot from, not quite Fallujah of course, but adds a different element.
