So I believe this is in the right spot, but move if I'm wrong.

After reading through a bunch of posts and research, it appears that 1000yd ranges are kind of rare. Which surprised me because I have one less than 15 minutes from my house with good traffic.

So I'm now curious: how many of you have a 1000yd range close-by and what do you define as close by? For me, 1 hour is the furthest I would drive for an afternoon/morning at a range(presently, always subject to change). Probably 8-9 hours is the farthest I would drive for a weekend "range" trip, but I would also probably take some more time/different transportation if it was one of the lauded schools; aka Gunsite, Frontsight, etc..
