washguy Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hi yall....Ive been searching for a new long distance range ever since our other one was shut down...long story short one of my buddies has entered a run and gun 3mile deal in Crawford Tx next month...some of the targets are out to 500 and we have had no range until his buddy found this one https://www.triplecrange.com/ Im in heaven! its about an hour 30 or so ,and damn they have several slots that got out to 600/700 yds all steel targets at 8moa....they have one 1000 yd slot and OMG one slot thats an Effin mile .....plus several pistol bays too....we went there sunday to have him get comfortable shooting at distance....he is gonna use one of my 300 blackouts with a 1x8 vortex.....He did awesome shooting out to 500 yds....I learned something bout the 300 round...I was using my high power spotting scope watching the bullets hit the steel armor I guess that's what it is....so at every distance until 500 I could see impact and see the steel move....at 500 im looking, and he fires and I see nothing ,but then we could hear a lil rap...no ping just a lil rap....the steel never moved,,,he kept hitting it, and im sayinh nope and then theres a lil rap....By golly he was hitting the steel but the 300 120 gr otm round was prolly pellet rifle speed at 500....I wouldn't wanna get hit by it...but it was just funny at how it sounded from out there.....so now ive got a home again....20 bills for all day on 2800 acres of rolling hills...even have longhorn cattle roaming around...no conditions...fmj ,auto fire okay...whatever you wanna do....they treat you like adults...ooops that may be a disqualifier for me Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on down brother....looks like ill never get my old azz out to a fall shoot....and I even pledged to do so this time....Char's got another deal with her health going on....biopsy on her thyroid on Thursday....daaamn...im gonna have to take her car privileges away.....she cant be driven no turbo car with a lumpy thyroid....right? 98 daaamn there was no one at the four slots out to 600/700 but 4 shooters at the mile slot....I got a woodie watching that ...well I think I did? the mile deal was hill top to hill top...you could see the steel out there plain as day...must have been a big piece....whom ever owns this place must own or have cousins that own adjacent land ...cause shooting at distance no telling what could happen?

Armed Eye Doc Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 It's not that far from @mrmackc. Maybe he would like to meet us there. Saturday afternoon or Sunday are about the only time I would have that would make it worth the drive. Monday would be a stretch since I don't get done until noon.

98Z5V Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 wash, talk to these guys about... something... See if we could pull a Spring Shoot there. You would need to fully explain the camping on-site, unplanned fireworks, tannerite, and all the other shenanigans that abound... Maybe get more time there, under your belt, before you'd approach them with something like that?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemme get the lay of the land .....Im thinkin these folks are A plus types.....they cater to the different agencies so im told...with all the pistol bays and the cars that are there for practice....I think they have a facebook page,but im not a face booker maybe you could check em out on facebook and see if they have fun there? Wash Yep Doc Ron...it would have to be an all dayer to make it worthwhile....ill talk to Doc Joe and have him talk to our buddy that's been going out there for training Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday afternoon or Sunday are about the only time I would have that would make it worth the drive. Monday would be a stretch since I don't get done until noon. I checked out their web page https://www.triplecrange.com/ and also on Google Earth. the Triple C Range is about 4.5 miles NW of Cresson on hiway 171 (14333 Cleburne highway, Cresson TX 76035. coords are 32 35 26.70N, 97 38 10.49W and is 939" elevation. It is 83 miles from my home. Edited September 27, 2018 by mrmackc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
