Froggy, you need to get out and about more lol.
Thruout the east where hills exist there are numerous places to shoot long range.
From our yard in PA we can shoot to more than 2 miles if we chose to shoot that far. But then our yard didn't just grow that way.
From Maine to the southern part of Georgia the same mountain chain offers lots of shooting opurtunities.
Granted, private property can be an issue, but there would still be possibilities if they are cultivated.
For those who want it its there, but it wont just jump out at you and say hey friend come shoot, it takes some effort.

In North Carolina it is hard to find enough open legal land big enough to shoot 500 yards on much less 1000. Most property that isnt farms is cultivated pine forest.
There is a range that goes to 1000 but unless you live in the Raleigh it is a drive to get too. You used to be able to shoot in the Croatan National Forest but slobs and unsafe shooters have brought an end to that. Down here around MCAS Cherry Point the longest range is 500 yards.

Fact is N C has an awfull lot of very good places where long range shooting can be done.
Fact also is there must be the desire and initative to pursue it or it wont happen.
Hawks Ridge rifle club in Ferguson N C is a very active 1000 yd club for example.
Id be willing to bet many shooters living in that state aren't aware it even exists.

never mind. I found the website and location once I had the full address. There's still 2 ranges with that type of distance that are half the drive time away from where I'll be at.
