Benchrest shoots near Elko Nevada?

[ShaneG.]

Elko has a pretty nice public range, west of town and north of the interstate. We rented one range for a club egg shoot during the PM convention. I hunt coyotes around there. You just might want to get something started there.

I haven't been to the range in Elko yet but have been to the one just off I80 in Carlin a few times ro shoot steel. My son lives in Spring Creek and I think they have a range there as well.
I will probably be hunting coyotes around there as well.once I get more familiar with the area. It will be a big change from hunting fencerows and open fields here in Indiana.

They mostly shoot 600 and 1K F Class and CF and small bore tactical. Currently no BR of any kind as far as I know. Always a good bunch of guys.

Well it's been over a decade since I checked. They used to hold BR matches, but it seems to have fallen out of favor. Guys prefer to wallow in the DG now I guess.

I'll be moving to Nevada the first part of October. I was wondering if there are any benchrest matches held anywhere within reason. Couple hours from Idaho and about 3.5hr to Salt Lake and maybe 6.5hr to Vegas.
Thanks

This is a great match that I have shot it a few times when I had family that lived there. My folks retired and moved to Idaho now and my Dad and brother started up the same match on a monthly basis at their local range in Parma,Idaho. Some of the Elko fellas will travel up to shoot their match on occasion. Don't go and shoot this match, you'll get addicted.
