HDMR (High Desert Mountain Ranch) is a private hunting property in Rotan, Texas, that has developed into a serious Extreme Long Range (ELR) shooting venue. The range layout stretches across open ranch terrain with natural elevation changes, allowing shooters to engage AR500 steel from 100 yards to 3,590 yards, with stated capability beyond 2 miles.
One of the defining features is the ability to shoot directly from or near the main lodge porch, creating a centralized firing position with steel staged at graduated distances: 1,000+ yards, 1,500+, 2,000+, and deep ELR targets approaching 3,600 yards. The property’s size and safe shooting arcs support true big-country wind calls and long flight times typical of ELR work.
Additional on-site facilities include:
- Pistol range with multiple targets behind the lodge
- Half-circle skeet range with high/low houses
- Floodlit pistol and skeet areas for evening use
Access is private and guest-based- shooters book a ranch stay or event rather than walk in for day use. HDMR is best suited for experienced ELR shooters, hosted groups, and competitors looking for structured, long-distance steel in a controlled ranch environment.
