How far to your Outdoor Range ?

I am 26.2 mile from the the Club range I belong to. It is a nice in the country drive with a few stop signs and turns. 42 minutes driveway to driveway.
It is the closest one.
Then other club I don't belong to is 28.5 mile and involves a little traffic to get to it. Two thirds of the trip would be Intersate, then the traffic. I haven't timed it, but has to be close to the same time to drive and is a more stressful trip.
Where I live everything is either a distance that way or the other way, nothing local.
The congested flat lands of Ohio.
 
It's five miles from my house to the public range.
It's free and has handgun and rifle ranges.
You can shoot out to 500 yards.:D
 
Two indoor ranges are about 17 and 12 miles away - the one that is 17 miles away is in another state (MA) and the second one in (RI) has not opened up yet. It was suppose to open in June, then this week and today they said July 15. They are having some 'discussions' with ATF - even though they were already inspected and approved. I am a founding member but the wait is killing me!

The outdoor range (about 14) is actually one that my son belongs to - He takes me as a visitor. I am waiting for them to 'force' me into membership. :rolleyes:

Hate to brag....but...it's just about 15 feet to the back of our deck here on the farm, then it's 25 yds to the fence rails, 100 to the home made berm, and then all the way out to 300+ yds if I've kept up with the mowing. Life's good...Rod
 
The range I belong to is about 10 miles away, or 20 to 25 minutes drive for me. Not exactly in my backyard, but considering that I am in the northern Illinois I am lucky to have one that close. The closest open range is in Wisconsin, about an hour drive...
 
The public range is about an hour away and my uncle owns a farm about 1.5 hours from my home. I may join one of the private clubs which are a little closer maybe 45 minutes, but for now I generally make do with indoor ranges five or six within about 20 - 25 minutes.
 
I've got about 20 minutes to two outdoor ranges, 10 to an indoor pistol range, and 30 minutes to my favorite place to shoot. Out there I get to shoot out to 1,000 yards, and if I found a gun capable of shooting 1 mile that is also possible.
 
It takes me about ten minutes to get from my house to the range I belong to, only goes out to 100 yards but they have regular trap shoots which I have yet to utilize, and it costs about 1/3 of the other three ranges in driving distance, Ones $85 a year, one is $75 a year plus NRA membership required and there is a member limit so there is a waiting list, the new ones $80 a year, plus $1 per gun clean up fee every trip.
 
< two miles to our LEO range. Just too sorry to go most days, hate to go by myself tho. My shooting shows it too.
 
Indoor range is about 4-5 miles, outdoor about 50-60 and a one hour drive up into the local mountains. Both decent places to shoot!:D
There are no "free" places to shoot anymore in SoCal, That stopped maybe 25 years ago.............just too many d@mn people/screwballs out there! :rolleyes:
 
rodfac has me beat.

I have to walk a couple hundred yards, and then I only have a 100 yd range. But, it'll do.

Country living is good for a shooter.
 
25 miles and it takes about 45 minutes. Traffic has made the trip more difficult but there are surprisingly few other places to go. Have been a member since moving here and it is a really nice place to shoot. Being retired makes it nice to go during the week when the place is almost empty.
 
My regular range that has regular hours and out to 200-yards tho not closest per se...

33 miles and 46 minutes, or, 30 miles and maybe 52 minutes on alternate route.
 
mine is 5 miles away. I usually go about once a week. With all the rain the past 2 months its been tough with the mosquitos.
