Working in Louisville for the next month. Is there any gun ranges somewhat close by with steel out to say 600 or anything even close to that? Or what's my best public option around here?

The only Long Distance Range in the state is Rock Castle Shooting Center in park city, ky with 1000+ yards avaliable. Knob Creek is just south of Louisville but only has 350yrds available and its BYOS (bring your own steel).

I appreciate it. I'll take a look into both of them

Make a trip up to thunder valley. It's in Ohio but it's a great long range facility.

The ROs are pretty on top of things there. A guy got told to pack his stuff up for muzzle sweeping the line when I was there last week.

That's certainly some good news!

To the OP, Just be careful if you do bring your own steel. A few Arfcom machine guns shoots ago, one the members had hole shot through his steel.

Not everyone on the line is smart. People see any target and will shoot at it. Just ask any of the orange cones on the sides

There's a small 500 yard range an hour North of Louisville. They have steel at 100 to 500. $10 for the day. Range name is Deputy Big Shot, located in Deputy, Indiana.

Never knew about that place. Good to know a longer range is fairly close for when/if I ever want to shoot longer distances than Knob Creek has.

Deputy Big Shot is having troubles. The local government is trying to shut them down with zoning regs. I don't know exactly where this dispute stands right now, but it is a serious threat to their continued operation, the last I heard

AFAIK, that about sums up the situation. However, it's business as usual right now.
