Let’s see your range

I belong to the Benchrest Rifle Club in Wright City, MO. It is about 35 miles from St louis.
Rather than show my pics, here is a link to the Club website with pics of some of the ranges.

Range pics

In addition to the ranges listed above we have a 100, 200 and 300 yard range with about 20 shooting positions , and a 1000 yard range with 4 shooting positions. Also three bays with steel targets.
Every range has an adjacent (and spotlessly clean) toilet.

There are indoor loading areas on several of the ranges for matches.
 
I've got 2 private ranges. The first range is 2 miles down the road from home on a friend's farm that is covered with 2 concrete benches and 50/100/200/300 yard boards. There is also a spot to set up a target/steel on the far hillside at 500 yards. This is where I do most of my load development.

The 2nd range is 15 miles from home again on a friend's farm. This one we have a 10x30' concrete pad. To the west of the pad there is a 100 yard sight in board. To the north we have steel from 300-1K every 100 yards, and also steel at 1200 and 1400. This is where I do my long range shooting and confirmed dope charts for myself, and friend's, family, and customers rifles.

4 concrete benches under roof. Hanging Steel and wood backers for paper at 200,500,1000,1375 and 1603. Hard to see the 1603 in this picture but it’s back there. Just gotta watch for the cows. Lucky to have it.

Stopped going to a local public unmanned range few years ago. Never truly saw anything crazy unsafe but annoying mostly. Everyone in a hurry and needs to go downrange to set up targets. Will only and gladly make the hr drive back to family farm land to be safe an by myself unless someone comes with me. And can even be lazy and ride the polaris to check targets. 20200702_131531.jpg
450 to edge of the trees that were the old farm yard. Could make it to 1000 if I had anything that I shot that far but don't. The silence sometimes is truly Defining...and I love it.

Lots of pistol ranges, action bays (12), sporting clays, 5-stand, skeet & Trap. But I will focus on rifle ranges.
Big bore range - 300 yard w/STM target system for hi-power matches (XTC, Prone, F-Class, CMP Vintage, 22 NRL). 15 firing points. Concrete benches under overhead cover. Also gong boxes at 100 & 300 for those who want to bang some steel.
