Rye Gate Gun Club in Montana is a private 1,000-yard rifle range, built for traditional prone and bench shooting in a quiet, member-only rural setting.


Set just outside Ryegate in rural Montana, this member-run club offers a straightforward long-range setup centered around a single primary rifle line that extends to 1,000 yards. The range begins with closer targets at 50, 100, 200, and 300 yards, allowing shooters to confirm zero before pushing out to distance on the same line. The terrain is open and lightly developed, with minimal structures and a focus on function over amenities, creating a quiet environment where wind and conditions become the main variables. Shooting is typically done from bench or prone, with additional firing positions added over time to support longer distances. There are no PRS-style props or high-traffic shooting bays, keeping the experience simple and controlled for members using the range for consistent long-range practice and load development.
Key Features:
This range is best suited for dedicated long-range shooters who want a quiet, no-frills environment for consistent 600–1,000-yard practice and load development.
