How many ranges ...?

XTR

F-TR obssessed shooting junkie
I've been shooting a lot of new ranges this summer, and this came up in conversation. I'd never made a list. When I first started shooting F class in Oak Ridge I never imagined I'd ever go anywhere else to shoot. Two matches a month starting in March or April until October keeps one pretty busy (then there is deer season) Then a couple of folks convinced me to go to the FCNC in Raton in 2012... that popped the cork for me.

My current list is up to 19:

Oak Ridge, TN
AEDC, Tullahoma, TN
Memphis, TN
Camp Butner, NC
Camp Perry, OH
Bridgeville, DE
NFGA, Nashua, NH
Keene, NH
Camp Ethan Allen, VT
Scarborough, ME
Connaught, Ottawa, ON
Gaugetown, NB
Camp Grayling, MI
St Louis BR club, MO
Bar 3, Laurel, MS
Bayou Rifles, Houston, TX
Long Range Alley, Shreveport, LA
Raton, NM
Phoenix, AZ

On my list of to do:
Bridgeville long range. Only shot 600 there.
Colonie, NY. They only do 4 matches a yr, and one coincides with the Sinclairs, but I'll get there, it's actually the closet 1000 yard range to me since I moved to NH.
Reid Range in PA. I hear they put on a good match.
Bisley, England
Creedmoor, Ireland

Colonie, NY (Forbes) has a long range match on 9/8 & 9/9. I believe it is 5x20 at 1000 yards across both days.
I'm currently on a project in Gulfport, MS. Can't make that. Maybe next yr.

You shot camp perry also.
 
You are right, I did, twice. Added Camp Perry

Mike, the only way I make Palo, and I might do it anyway, is if I go and shoot the Practical match in 2 weeks with my F-TR rifle. They have a regular match next weekend but I'm flying home for Labor Day. After that I'm leaving here and going straight to Raton for the FCNC.

Good luck in Raton, stranger.
 
I've had just the opposite year.
I had expected to go afield often but settled into my 4 local matches instead.

R-e-a-d-e is about the only place I have gone. :)
 
Four as of now but going to add Whittington Center and Panola in the very near future. Bayou Rifles LR should follow shortly.
 
You should add Camp Atterbury to your list, being that we are so local (relatively).
 
Without a doubt we have so many great matches around the country now! The traveled shooter is a better shooter also... a little more ready for anything.
 
Just starting. Laurel and Shreveport and Henry co. I bring my wife and camper make a week out of it. Charlie Daniels in Shreveport next month. Hope to make Memphis next month too. Headed out West next year.
