There have been 1,000 yard hunting clubs in PA longer than I've been alive. They were using the .30-378 before Weatherby ever offered it and they used the .300 Weatherby mag prior to that. I just learned on another thread they also pioneered the 6.5/300 Weatherby mag. This long range stuff is nothing new.
Yes,I remember growing up in PA in the 50's hunting in Clinton County of guys doing LR shooting. The ones I knew sported a .308 Norma Mag. We hunted out of Renovo. As I remember there were matches in a town east of there.
Williamsport has a 1,000 yard range. They've had matches there for decades.
