Pascal, The range in Huntsville is a private range that goes out to 600 yards; not 1000.
The contact is Mike Cockcroft, who posts on here. If he does not post, look at some back topics to find one he has posted on.

The Bayou Rifle Club has a 1000 yd range in south Houston. The Texas State Long Ranch Championships are held there in October. It is a high power range and doesn't have benches. The first Sunday of the month they have their 1000 yard Highpower, F Class and F-TR match. Course of fire is 3 relays with 20 shots per relay.

There is only one range in Texas shooting 1000 yd benchrest, it is in San Angelo and is also privately owned by Tad Emert. There are other 1000 yd ranges but they dont have benches or conduct benchrest matches. Ranges with 1000 yd berms were approached about having benchrest matches and they did not want to build benches or promote benchrest, so we are trying to do it ourselves. You are welcome to come to my range, about one hour north of Houston but my berm is 600 yds from the benches. I have 15 concrete benches on a concrete slab under roof. Myself, Tad Emert, and the Duke brothers are trying to get long range benchrest going in Texas but it has not been easy. Our website is www.texasbenchrest.com
Call me at 936-661-1636 if you want to shoot while you are here.

I have to back out on my offer for this weekend. I had forgotten that this weekend there will be trail riders camping out for the weekend in the pasture the range is in. They have been doing this for the last three years on this weekend, I had forgotten about it but was reminded this morning. I apologize for my short memory
