Prairie-dog towns on the South Plains make for a long, high-round-count day behind a flat-shooting rifle. It’s the best marksmanship practice going, and a favorite of riflemen in the warm months when the birds are gone.

Bring a varmint rifle and plenty of ammunition; we’ll put you on active towns with room to shoot safely.
