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:

  • 600m and 1,000m dedicated long-range lines
  • 1-mile range plus 1,500-yard buffalo steel target
  • Covered benches with prone-friendly firing options
  • Open desert terrain with natural wind-reading conditions
  • Hosts PRS-style and hunter match events to 1,000 yards.
  • Free public access with multi-disciplinary shooting facilities

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.
