300+yd Ranges in the Hill Country?

[T-FAST]

I'm from the Rio Grande Valley where everything is flat, so we have quite a few 1000+yd ranges which is awesome! Now that I have moved up to the hill country, I am lucky to find a rifle range past 100yds. Maybe I am not looking hard enough but does anybody know of a range in the hill country that has at least 500yds or does f-class shooting? Thanks guys!

None to my knowledge. Bexar is 200 so is dietz range here in NB.

Where are you in the hill country? There's a few north of Austin.

 

[T-FAST]

Boerne area. I'm not opposed to driving north of Austin. What's the name of the ranges? Thanks Jeremy

Best of the West in Liberty Hill is rated as one of Texas' top ranges. They have state and national IDPA matches there. They also have up to 1000 yd range-I've heard. I haven't had a chance to check them out yet.

Hicksville Gun Range in Gatesville is a Texas Gun Talk favorite. They have a very nice, spread out, clean, and friendly range. They have up to 600 yds.

Hicksville charges $10 per person per day for shooting paper or long range. To shoot steel targets is an extra $5 per person. They have 5 different style steel targets to shoot. You can shoot almost any round you can imagine (tracer and incideary are not allowed for fire reasons). Younggun takes his .50 up there. Other guys take full autos. Explosives are encouraged and sold on site. They also sell about 10 different paper targets, ammo, ear plugs, safety glasses, and drinks. They rent out guns and ear muffs.

I have not been here, but it seems to suit your needs and is not real far from SA.

I can confirm the 1000 yard range at Best of the West. It's a very nice range, the staff has always been great when I've shot there. Rifle line is (IIRC), 50, 100, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 yard distances, the targets are steel gongs at 250 and out. Ask real nice and the RO will even set up a 4" gong at 1000 or throw some of your clays on that berm if you want. It's an extra fee and you need to qualify to shoot 500+ there, so ask before you just do it.

Dude - you need to read the rules if you want any of us to even look at your products.

 

[Shotgun Jeremy]

Products? What product? I don't see any rule abiding vendors....

 

[T-FAST]

I find it pretty odd that Best of the West doesn't hold any long range shooting competitions. Bit of a drive for me anyways. Thanks to everybody that gave suggestions! Time to go out and sample the various ranges.

I'm always in the tac bays shooting pistols there, but didn't know this about the 500+ range. Qualify how?

 

[TreyG-20]

Probably at 100 or 200 like Hicksville. They don't want people shooting at 45 degree angles where they miss the berms at 500 or 1000. Got to qualify at shorter distance to make sure your on target and not just trying to zero at that distance.

Don't know, never done it.

Only time I shoot close to 500 out there is in the 3 gun matches.

 

[breakingcontact]

That makes sense. I'm not against it just didn't know.

I need to pay to join BOTW. Cheaper to shoot and would encourage me to go too. Need to join Austin Rifle Club here too. We are pretty fortunate with our ranges.

 

[T-FAST]

I miss my range in South Texas... $10/day or $60 yearly membership. 1000yd range, steel targets 400yds+.

5 hits on steel silhouettes at 500 qualifies you. After a few sight in rounds I was able to hit all 5 in a row with my AR for qualifying. If the wind isn't too crazy it's really not that hard as long as you don't have a 3+ moa rifle.
