It’s been several years since I shot at the high power range, but the steel silhouettes go out to 500 yards, and you could post paper targets only at 600 yards on that range. Someone else might have more up to date info.

That is mostly correct.
There is a backer about 50 yards further behind the target pits that'll give you a little more distance.
I haven't really been to USSA for a couple or three years. What negative changes have occurred?
Don't we have to wait for the Russian spy balloon? Asking for a friend....
Last time I was there +/- 6 months ago, you needed a mandatory tetanus shot to use the bench rests and bring your own scythe to clear the weeds to post up targets. YMMV

After an hour long discussion between him, the RO and myself he apparently cleared the flag and said he'd comp my visit for the day and that I was welcome whenever and "sorry for the misunderstanding" but "he'd be watching me". I just went home and never went back.
So between incidents like that and the general condition degrading I am happy to never give them any more dollars. I've always considered the facilities and setup of Red Castle to be tops anyways.
Generally the condition of the facilities has gone down, as has the customer service. The main thing that I liked about it was having a dedicated bay when I was doing chronograph work, but I can live without that. The final straw for me was showing up one day to find out I was blacklisted because the owner accused me of taking all the range brass. (Which was funny because that occurred a month after the day in question and I had just finished processing all the brass and had come up just about even to my shots fired that day).

I'd be down with that. If they'll let us pack the place with visitors, we should do it on March 11th. They're having a wet t-shirt contest at noon to raise funds for the pistol steel range.
That sounds like good fun, will definitely be there for that. Just hoping they don’t have the ranch help wearing the t-shirts
I've also been considering checking out Open Range Shooters Retreat in Ramona because I hear they go out to 1000 yards. Has anyone else been there?
