600/1000 yd. Benchrest or FT/R Competition

[TylerErickson]

Hi everyone. I work in the oilfield in Williston, ND and was wondering if anyone knows of any 600/1000 yd. or FT/R competition on North Dakota? Or at least any gun clubs with a 1000 yard range. I'm aware of the comps. in Missoula, MT, Southern Minnesota and Duluth Minnesota, however I'm very busy out here and don't get a lot of time off, usually one day a week at best, which makes a 9 1/2 hour drive difficult to do, even if i splurge and take 2 days off . I would appreciate any info u guys have.

You need to get ahold of Rod Vistol of Fargo ND. (Nodak7mm) he can point you in the right direction. I will send a message to his igloo to get him on here. Meanwhile you can go to the (Where to shoot) thread on the competition forum and take a look.

I would private message Donovan who goes by dmoran. He lives in North Dakota and shoots all the long range shoots, He would know where the shoots are. Matt

Tyler,

Far as BR goes, sounds like you are aware of whats available in MN & MT. Closest BR comp would be Elbow Lake MN (600) & Harris MN for 1k. Donavan is the go-to guy for BR, heck of a great guy/shootee at that.

For F/TR, your in luck, there is a 1k range that holds 5 LR highpower events a yr. Moffit ND, 20 miles east of BIS. There is also a 600 yd highpower range in Rolla with 2-3 highpower events a yr and then there is Grand Forks with 4-5 events. The ND schedule is being firmed up as we speak. If I can be of further help, shoot me a pm.

Billings, MT has 600 yd F-Class and there is some short range bench rest there too. The F-Class matches are monthly there in the spring and summer.
I think Worland, Wyo has long range F-Class.
Contact me by email for the points of contact for those ranges.

PS: if you are in the oil patch for awhile, you might want to see what is north of you in Canada.
