Any Long Range BR in Texas?

[INTJ]

I am looking for my last career and there is a good chance the new job will be in Arizona or near the San Antonio area of Texas. I know about 1000 yd BR in AZ but I haven't come across anything in Texas yet. That is surprising to me. I currently live in the embarrassingly liberal state of Oregon, and I have two NBRSA long range facilities within 3 hours.

So does anyone shoot 600 or 1000 yd BR near San Antonio?

600 yard F class near SA. I dont know of any BR near SA. But if there is it wont be 1000. I think ive heard years ago theres a short range br shoot somewhere but cant say positively.

Near New Braunfels, and looks like they still do 500 yard F class.
I shot a match there when I lived on the NE edge of San Antonio. Suggest you go watch a match, and either get involved in their matches, or see if there are 600/1000 matches anywhere near by.

Thanks, but I am only interested in 600 and 1000 yd BR matches. So far it looks like a 12-13 hour drive to either Tucson, Memphis, Houston, MO.

Guess it's time to get a Seneca and cut that time down to 4 hours......

Any 1000yd BR at the Whittington Center near Raton NM? I know they have benches at the 1000yd line. Not close but closer than Tuscon and there is this ......http://www.ratonnm.gov/208/Airport

I don't think there is LR BR at Whittington. It is interesting that LR BR passed by Texas, the place of the 1 mile shot. Maybe GBR will have some matches in Texas?

None in Texas to my knowledge. It sux.

There is short range BR in New Braunfels. Max 200 yards I believe. On the same property there is CTSA that has a 500 yard F-Class match 1st Saturday of every month. Houston has 1000 yard F-Class. Not sure about BR.

I see a few long range BR matches at Long Range Alley in Shreeveport

If I understand correctly it is only 50 cal.

Call Dietz gun range. Maybe they know of a long range location.

 

[sdean]

If I understand correctly it is only 50 cal.

Now you made me read the match program. Have never seen one like that. Nothing based on 50 BMG allowed. Must must be .338 or less. 22 lb. weight limit and maybe muzzle brakes allowed. I guess a phone call would be in order.

South Central Shooters hold .50 cal matches there. Craig Martin has been shooting them. I was unaware of any other BR at LRA. It would be a good location for such.

I heard a rumor the border patrol was hiring people with long range talent.
Might be worth a shot

We would love to have you shoot with us in Memphis, there is no more 600 yard benchrest in Houston, MO.

There is small club 1000 br at El Paso. I believe that @Lbart runs these 2nd Saturday each month.

The FCSA holds a Spring and a Fall time 50 Cal. match a Louisiana Long Range Alley in Grand Cain, La (Shreveport area).
I also believe they shoot some F-class events up there as well.

That is a looooong way from San Atonio....... about 630 miles or so..

 

[Ringostar]

I understand that it’s a long drive, but it’s still in Texas. Which is what op asked about. It’s also a lot closer than Phoenix.

Hey Ron. On the Long Range Shooters website they list 4 matches called Hi Power Benchrest. No 50 cal allowed. Looks like muzzle brakes are allowed. I guess it's something like Fclass benchrest. If they would knock off the 22lb weight I expect you would have enough .338's we could all shoot.
