Buckskin Hills Shooting Complex in Utah offers free public access and long-range shooting from 600 meters to 1 mile+, built for precision shooters and ELR-minded riflemen.


Set in open, high-desert terrain outside Vernal, Buckskin Hills delivers a rare public-range experience with true long-range capability. The shooting environment blends structured firing lines with expansive natural backstops, where concrete benches, open prone options, and field-style shooting conditions expose shooters to real wind and distance challenges. Beyond conventional rifle bays, the standout draw is the long-range complex featuring steel animal targets at 600 and 1,000 meters, a 1-mile range, and a 1,500-yard buffalo target for extended-distance work. Steel impacts and natural terrain make it feel closer to a practical field range than a static public facility. The property also supports PRS and hunter-style matches using natural features and props, reinforcing its role as both a training ground and competition venue for shooters stretching from traditional precision rifle into ELR territory.
Key Features:
Buckskin Hills is built for serious precision rifle shooters, ELR enthusiasts, and hunters validating dope at distance. It is especially strong for shooters wanting true long-range capability without private membership barriers.
