Same boat here. Harvard allows members to camp on site, and I have camped at Leyden for an Appleseed shoot. Maybe Alderbrook allows it as well. (Leydens one stipulation was “don’t shoot the porta potty”)
As far as I know, no camping allowed.

Looks like fun,but way too far for me to drive to justify $175 a year.
Now if I could pay $75 for orientation and safety good for lifetime and $20 every time I show up would be cool.Went to a range in the White Mountains a while back that just charges like $10 for non members to shoot,really nice range had 600yd I think.Cant remember the name of the range but long range was on a hillside.
Anyone know of a good campground or even wilderness camping area near by?
I'm one of those people whose eyes are bad enough I'd need a scope the size of the Hubble telescope to see anything that far away.
Is that where you measure the accuracy in MKA? Minute of Kim's Ass ? if it can hit a real life pic of her derriere at 1000 yards its 1 MKA, right?

People are re-quoting your quip without Ed's context,Is that where you measure the accuracy in MKA? Minute of Kim's Ass ?Welp, looks like I am interested in 6.5 Cardashian now.
There's a KOA right up the street from me in Twin Mountain. About 20 Minutes from the club.Anyone know of a good campground or even wilderness camping area near by?
I'm interested in joining, and I know a few other dudes who would be as well, but it's a bit of a hike for us. Being able to make a weekend of it would be awesome.
Glad you mentioned this. I certainly do not want to involve you in a personal argument, but my friend thinks that I am viable at that distance with my Savage bolt action .223 rifle. Am I sadly mistaken or are his claims realistic?

Somehow I missed these updates. I drive past Alderbrook regularly, but I'm not a member. I also drive past SAWS; didn't know he was the president of the club.
Funny part: Alderbrook is practically the other side of the mountain from Ridgeline, so now we've got two long ranges up here!
Camping??? That's what we DO up here!

The owner's manual that came with my rifle indicates that it was test-fired with a 69 grain Sierra Match King round. I called Savage customer service and was told that all Savage bolt-action .223 rifles are tested with this round. I think the twist is 1 in 9.Maybe - is your rifle's twist rate fast enough to stabilize the heavier bullets that would work out there at 1k?

And on the second Saturday in June, it's officially Pollyanna Day in Littleton.On your way home from the range, you can visit the longest candy-counter in the world at Chudder's . . . .
I wouldn't waste the time trying to shoot a 69 out to 1000 yards. Nobody uses them at 600 or even 300 anymore, either.I’d go with more of a 1 in 8 or 1 in 7 for a 69g.

1-9, forget it. Need a 1-7 at a minimum if you are hoping for any kind of success at 1000 with a 223.
Received Expert rifleman rating during quals with M16 at PI during boot. Green tip M855 was the issued load and I successfully whacked targets out to 500 yards. That is the furthest that I have ever fired. Only have 3 rifles at home: Savage .308, Savage .223 and little Jill's .22 rimfire. Usually, I shoot at 200 yards and use M193 ball in the .223.I wouldn't waste the time trying to shoot a 69 out to 1000 yards. Nobody uses them at 600 or even 300 anymore, either.

Last I heard, Alderbrook is 1100~ish, but they do have plans.I was chatting with a dude plugged into the Minuteman PRS league yesterday,and he was telling me Alderbrook has 1500 and is in the planning stages to push more, is this true? If so, incredible. I'll be joining after the holidays.
