Do you ever get tired of shooting black dots?
We at the RWVA range in Ramseur NC may have an answer for you. Though out the year the RWVA sponsors shooting events on our 500 yard pop-up range. The range supports pop-up targets at 200,300,400, 4++ yds. These are the same type pop up machine used by the US Military. Bring your rifle and at least 200 rounds of ammo for a day at the range like no other. We will start the day at 9:00 AM sharp with some warm up shooting at 25 yds. In order to shoot on the 500 yd range shooters will have to demonstrate a four MOA skill level. That means you have to be able to put 3 rounds in a one inch square at 25 yds. We have to insure that shooters can keep their shots in the impact area. Additionally if a shooter can't shoot at a 4MOA level the likely hood they will hit anything but dirt is remote.

8 Down: An individual event each shooter has one minute to engage 4 targets, each at 200 and 300 yds. Fastest time wins.
Counter attack: A team event 4 shooters engage 12 targets at 200, 300, & 400 yds from the prone. The team then moves on line down range and engage targets as they appear, all done safely with a range officer of course. Some of the shooters bring their web gear to carry ammo for this event. Its fun!
Sniper: An individual event shooter engage targets at 200, 300, 400, & 4++ yds, maximum of two rounds per target. Scoring is based on difficulty of shot. First round hits get more points than second round hits and 4++ yds more points than 400 and so on.
We will keep going until you get tired or run out of ammo.
