"...1000yd ranges are kind of rare..." Yep. It's because of the fall zone required. CF 1,000 yard ranges have 10 kilometer's of fall zone behind the back stop. And it's not square. Hard to get that much empty land.
The 600 plus yard ranges in Southern Ontario are backing on one of the Great Lakes. Where stupid fishermen drive their boats into the fall zone regularly. Despite the 'Danger' sign and buoys.
