There's a place outside Eufaula IIRC that offers long range training for hunting out past 1000 yards. Not sure if they use it as a general range or just for the classes. It's REALLY expensive though:

I've seen that place, but it's not an open range from what I understand. You're either taking a course or doing an event to be out there.

Got a turkey at 97 with a 4" S&W Model 66 revolver, .357 Mag. A hog at a little over 100 with my 7.5" Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Mag. 5X5 whitetail buck at estimated 400 with my Browning B-78, 7mm Rem. Mag. Called my shot to my friends, before walking up to the buck. Hit was exactly where I said. After loading up the buck, the shot was measured at 394.

Not me, but I did see it. Back in 1986 the new guy on the boat, kinda short with severe acne, his rank was so low he couldn't afford to pay attention. But had balls the size of bowling balls, took the opportunity to ask the current Miss Hawaii out during a VIP tour of the boat, she said yes!!!! Just goes to show that sometimes balls are enough, when the opportunity presents, take the shot!!!

Are all of you shooting long range somewhere in Alabama? I haven't seen a single range that went past 300 yards.
Not in Alabama. All my long range stuff was while I lived in Maryland. Mostly at Quantico for competition or a private range in the Shenandoah Valley.

Someone just told me about this range today at a USPSA match. Seems perfect for what I'm looking for, except the 2-3 hour drive.

I’m no rifleman, that’s for sure haha. I’ve plinked steel at 100 yards with an AR and a Ruger 10/22. I’m seriously impressed with folks who can send rounds downrange accurately at long-distance.
