Long range shooting area in northern UT county, souther SL county?
Hey folks, new member, can't believe it took me so long to find this site. It's AWESOME!
I'm looking for a place to take a few friends shooting, I'd like there to be enough area to shoot as far out as 500 yards. I saw a previous post about a BLM spot west of Utah lake, which is great. I remember seeing someone who posted (somewhere else on the intertubes, not here) a spot where there was 1000+ yards, but I can't find it now. It wasn't an official range, but a place where people go to shoot long distance.
Can someone lend a hand with some options?
Thanks!

Hi there:
The west side of Utah Lake is a great place to go shoot. I will not go there on Saturday's though, it gets too crazy with way too many people. One of my friend's was out there 3 weeks ago and got hit in the back by a .22 round . (He's ok)
I like getting more out in the West Desert and also on the road between Vernon and Eureka.

A buddy and I go out to a spot on the Southwest corner of the GSL. We shoot out to 1000 and there is room to go out a little further. It's just West of the salt factory.

Here's a list of some shooting ranges: http://utahshootingsports.com/usscranges.htm
And I've been to this one if you want an established range not toooo far from SLC and it's a great facility. 1000yd range, 600yd range, etc. etc.
