Let’s see your range

[CT10ring]

Sadly, I don't get out as much as in past years -- the site demands I work ceaselessly -- every day of the month. I used to go to the Winchester Canyon Gun Range twice a week when I lived in Santa Barbara. Here's the Shotgun range, where my brother and I would shoot trap. This is the view looking East.

A few hundred yards to the west, you could look down at the Pacific. Here's a professional photo (not mine). This is the view from Lizard's Rock trail, a 20-minute walk from the Winchester Canyon range. Yes I have watched the sunset from this very spot...

Then, after moving south, I joined the Ojai Valley Gun Club, which has a beautiful 600-yard range where we would shoot steel and paper at 600 yards from the bench.

One of the reasons I got involved in shooting (and started this website), was that it gave me a good reason to head up into the scenic coastal mountains.

Above is the gray-stocked Savage that inspired 6mmBR.com, the predecessor to AccurateShooter.com. I bought the rifle for about $300, and the stock for $130. Added a pre-fit 3-groove PacNor in 6mmBR and the darn thing shot high ones/low twos right from the start. Honest. My load development (if you can call it that) started .007 in lands with 30.0 gr Varget for round count 15-30. Then I went to 30.3 for a little better ES and a bit more FPS. That's it. Done. That 27" barrel delivered 2910 fps at the 30.3 gr load with 105s. It loved the original Lapua 105gr Scenar bullets (old style tangent ogive).

Oh and the first measured group out of the gun was a witnessed 0.168" for FOUR shots, rounds 15-18. But I can't claim honors. The President of the Winchester range in SB happened to walk by while I was firing the PacNor for the first time with the new barrel (shoot 2 and patch etc.). He asked to shoot the gun and I said sure. After he put four shots in one ragged hole, he got up and said "Mighty impressive -- but I won't take a 5th shot... I don't want to spoil the group." He had never heard of the 6mmBR cartridge before.

The break-in, BTW, was done with nothing but wet patches. But that leads to another story that most of you guys would never believe...

Stunning pics! Shooting. Just back from road biking in Solvang.

nowhere near Montana.

Nearest range to me is 75 miles. I use this highway gravel pit about 5 miles down the road on National Forest land. Can only get about 150yds. A few other guys I know use it also. Everyone picks up all their brass and keeps it clean.

We've never had to call a cease fire for the resident elk heard to feed through, or screwed up a load test to pop a ground squirrel.

That sure brings back great memories of an awesome range. I grew up in grants pass. Spent allot of time shooting there
moved to Idaho in 1993. I really miss that range.
shot there 3 years ago when I was back visiting family

Well if your ever back this way give a holler, I'm always lookin for someone to shoot with.
I believe its ownership is in the process of transferring from Josephine County Parks, to the Sportsmens Association.
It seems the county is concerned about liability of lead contamination.

I went to Kelbly’s today to check out the Super Shoot. I was a member there for several years, but left to join my current club which has some great RFBR matches. Here is a picture of Kelbly’s bench line. I don’t remember exactly but I think they have 50 benches on their 100/200 yd range.

I don’t normally take photos of the range itself but yesterday I snapped one from the 1250 berm back toward the firing line.

Strategic Edge Gun Range in Central TN. Membership required. Happy wife not included, nor guaranteed... (all hits at 1000 and 1250 for her)

Rimfire: 25-100yds steel, paper @ 200yds
Centerfire: 100-500yds. Guests OK here
Long Range: 100, 600, 750, 1000, & 1250
Pistol/Carbine: 3 bays, 50-75yds max
Wobble Traps: 2 throwers, 5 gates
Golf Carts: x2 for targets beyond 100yds
Targets: Steel at all berms, except 200yd RF

Clubhouse for training classes etc. and a reloading room on-site with A/C.

Well worth the 2hr drive IMO. I can shoot off my deck, but only 35-60yds. Great for the pistols, air rifles, and positional .22lr.

I’ve been a member of Strategic Edge since 2017 but I finally build a 400 yard range in my backyard so I guess this will be my last year it’s a 2 Hour Dr. from my house one way

Imagine my surprise to be watching this Jack Reacher clip and realizing this range is where I learned to shoot 22 Silhouette in the early 80s and where I recently returned and taught my daughter to shoot 500 yards prone with her 308. She outshot Reacher.

Good for her. And using real bullets probably set the bar even higher.
