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. Web site>>>http://www.sturgishuntclub.com/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx  Open 9am-5pm 7 days.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll head over there on Sat and check it out. How much are the memberships?

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!

How far is this from Hot Springs?

The range is at the Buffalo Chip complex just east of Sturgis. I'm guessing that it would be close to 1+45 from there. I just moved up here and am still getting the feel for the distances. It'd probably be around a 90 mile trip one way.
