man its amazing that you can shoot in your back yard, I have to drive 1.5hr from Vancover to my range in Chilliwack just to be able to shoot 200 meters, as for the spot where we do actual long range shooting we have to drive 5 hours away to the location you see in the picture!

Guess I am pretty lucky when you put it that way. Once the crops come off I can reach out to the back of the field that’s perpendicular to my 100yd shooting table and reach out to 450yds

absolutely, having your own privet spot is something most of us dream of!

Suggestion:

Take the Ferry to the Sunshine Coast, go up Mount Elphinstone, you would probably spend less time driving, granted 45 mins on the ferry but maybe only an hour of actual driving and you could have the joy of shooting up in the mountains but with the Salish sea in the distance.

They have a sighting in days for public but generally members only. It's closer than chilliwack too, i get there in about an hour from North Van.

What's the range to the other side of the valley? 800m or so?

Where?!

The PCDHFC only has 200ish yards.

I'd love to try stretching the legs out on my 308 and 223/556 bolt action.

If it's not to far away then maybe even build out a 6.5CM.
