600-1000 meter range would be nice.

The amount of land that would be required to build a range that size is probably worth way more in today's market than could be justified in building a range that size. It would be nice, but I don't see it happening. Maybe it could happen in Missouri or Oklahoma just over the border, but I can't see it happening around NWA.

Ft. Chaffee and Camp Robinson military reservations are the only longish ranges I know of in Arkansas.
Most places are constrained by geography and land availability. NW Arkansas has a premium price for available land due to population boom. I don't expect to see any long ranges open up anytime soon. ROI would just suck for getting that operating. |

It is a shame the Walton clan are not into shooting sports.
That 2700 acres the grandsons just bought would work. |

But I can't see that far anymore. My backyard range goes to 250yds and I can barely see to hit that. |

Isn't Benton Gun Club down by Little Rock (NOT Benton County)?
How does that help NWA? IMO Reasonable = $0 |

IMO Reasonable = $0 Arkansas is full of name surprises: Benton is in Saline County, not Benton County. Conway is in Faulkner Cty, not Conway Cty. Searcy is likewise not in Searcy Cty. It's like this was a plan to confuse people from elsewhere. |

I think the geography up here makes it tough.
I have a few acres and the most I can squeeze out is a 325yd shot due to all the hills and valleys. |

If it makes yall feel any better, I work over in the flat lands in NEA. You can see for miles in every direction. Not a single (public) rifle range over 1 or 200 yards.
