I went shooting at this range a few weeks back and had a blast.  I shot out to the 1k mark and actually hit a few times.  

My question is:  what are the actual distances to the targets?

I was told 565 and 1k for the long steelies.  Is this true?  I only ask because the come ups I had to dial in were for targets a bit closer.  It had me questioning either the target ranges or my muzzle velocity.  

Anybody been out there and actually laser range the tgts?

The distances are accurate.

Yep. I think benches 1 through 10 are the benches that line up with 1000 yards. Most of the other benches max out at 565 or less. Look the place up on Google earth and you will get a good idea of how it has been arranged.

If it weren't so far away I would have to make some use of that 1000 yard range.

Yup.  I was on lane 1.  I had the Barrett and my PSS out for the day.  I live up near Jax so this is a bit of a drive for me.  But you just can't beat hitting out to 1k.

Manatee is the best range I have ever been to.
The people that work there are way to friendly for range officers.

Wow, you drove from Jacksonville to use our range, very flattering! I guess I'm spoiled since I live only a few miles from that range.

When I went there for the pumpkin shoot it looked like there was only 1 target and a gong at 1k .

do 10 lanes shoot to just those 2 targets?

Depends on what target you were looking at, there is a gong and targets at 565 yards and a gong and a big (about) 8'x8' target out at 1000 yards. It all works out very well. There are also target stands at 75, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 yards,a berm at 565 yards and then you make the jump to 1000 yards.

Does the range have spotting scopes for rent?

And do they allow semi-auto rapid fire? I don't normally fire like this, but have the need to function check a couple of ARs while heated up a bit.

Thx

I was doing the same, the RO's didn't have a problem with it, but the people around me did, so I limited to times when there weren't as many people around.
