The Grand Lodge ELR in South Dakota is a 2-mile+ extreme long-range facility tied to a hunting lodge, built for ELR shooters and long-distance rifle practice.


Set across expansive South Dakota farmland, The Grand Lodge ELR blends open terrain with long, unobstructed shooting corridors that naturally amplify wind variability and mirage at distance. The range is built around extreme-distance engagements, with steel and vehicle targets stepping from 1 mile through 2 miles, and ELR capability extending much further for organized events. Shooters work primarily from prone and supported positions, focusing on dialing precision, managing environmental shifts, and spotting impacts at extended ranges. The environment favors deliberate shooting over volume, with wide sightlines, minimal visual clutter, and long target acquisition times typical of ELR setups. As part of a larger lodge property, the range integrates into a destination-style experience, where multi-day shooting, matches, and structured sessions replace casual drop-in use.
Key Features:
The Grand Lodge ELR is built for serious long-range and ELR shooters focused on pushing distances past a mile, validating data, and preparing for extreme-distance competition or advanced field shooting.
