This is great news. Will it be similar to the silhouette gallery with steel in 100m increments?
I don't know for certain.
However, I think it is not a completely new range, but an extension of the current high-power range. This means it will have whatever targets are available there, maybe to 600 (?), then more at 1K. Some steel at 1K.
Do not take this as gospel, because I'm merely speculating.
Except I do know that there will be at least some steel at 1K.
Ohh.. ok. I think that range is largely paper now so that tempers my enthusiasm a bit.
No steel, just paper. It’ll utilize the shotmarker system like the 600 yard line. I love me some weekly 600yd league!
I was at the April meeting and the silhouette division offered to put up a steel target on the 1000yrd. If I remember correctly they thanked him(Jim Myers) and said they would get back to him at a later date.
Just saying that they could do a lot more with this range than just putting up 1 steel target at 1000 yds. Look at Tulsa's range as an example:

1000 yard range in the Tulsa area??
there is a private group that holds matches up around ramona, sorry dont remember their name, and a new range east of tulsa on fb, recon by fire range. which is suppose to be pretty nice.

Wonder if there is going to be a pit lke the 600 or maybe a fancy camera system to spot, that would be nice. Can't tell from the dirt work today. That white speck on the right is a decent sized truck.
Good question. The 600 is shooting downhill, the 1000 will be going back up the slope. I’m curious as to how the new operation will run. Curt bowman, Kent shomber chime in if you’re reading this!
Man, I need to get another range orientation card when they open up. I lost mine a few years ago and never got around to getting a new one.
A little more work has been done on the berm
