Has anyone been out to the Buffalo Chip rifle range? I live in Rapid City and was thinking about heading up there, but wanted to see if anyone had any experiences there before I commit to a 50 min drive. Thanks for any info. Here's a pic of one of my ARs just because. |

Yes, I shoot there a lot I am a member. They have 100, 200, 300, 500 and I think 700 yds. Covered benches on both rifle and pistol ranges. Cost is $10 for nonmembers I think. Was a rumer they are going to members only next year. The clubhouse is over at the Chip complex and ranges are on the north side of road.

I made it out there today. Great range, I will definitly be back. I was the only one out there and had it all to myself. The 600 yd range is the first I've used. I was amazed at how well I hit the target stand out to that range with BH 60gr VMAX. I even had some luck with the 17HMR...had to hold the target stand in the bottom right corner of the scope due to the 5-7 mph x-wind. The best part was the four-wheeler they let you borrow to run your targets out with. I'll be back there often. Here is one of the rifles I was using. I'll get pics of the range next time. Great trip! |
