To all Appleseeders:

Trying to pull together the current Appleseed venues that offer distances in excess of 300 yards.  If your state has one, please respond to this thread with the range name*, maximum distance available, and the number of shooters that it can accommodate at one time. 
*= Please list the range name as it appears on eventbrite

Thank you for your prompt attention,

-ItsanSKS

A moral compass provides a basis for making decisions; an action is good or bad, right or wrong when viewed in the light of the individual's moral bearing. If no moral compass exists for the individual, then decisions and actions are made on the basis of purely subjective thoughts. This leads to "If it makes me happy, or makes me feel good, or if it's something I simply want to do, then it is right and good."

Thanks TW!  Let me know what you come up with for max capacity.

If nothing else, a good metric to use for KD is 1 shooter per 4" of berm.

Insert "This is Spinal Tap" reference here....

I think you mean one shooter per four feet of berm.

The San Angelo Gun Club will soon have a 500 yard range. Renovations are under way that when finished will give us 1 500 and 2 300 yard ranges. There are details posted on sanangelogunclub.org  We have hosted a few appleseeds (thats where i earned my patch) but since our nearest local instructor moved we have not had any events.

Howdy All,

The process has begun to re-introduce Appleseed to the Ft Bliss Rod an Gun Club in El Paso, Texas.
There is 1(one) Range(#5) with a 1000yd capability(50 shooters).
Range #6 has a 600yd backstop, this will be the Range that we will be using(30 shooters).
There are others with 300yd capabilities.
Rumor has it that there may be a Range opening with an 1800yd capability.

More to follow.

Thanks for getting that going. We sure need to get all them Texans out to a shoot. You know the ones I'm talking about, the ones that already know how to 'shoot.' Ha.
