Norm, Scott,
See the bottom of this page (May 5th and 6th 2013) : http://www.matchrifle.org/Calendar/calendar.htm . I believe the reason they say a "possible" second 1500 yard day is that conditions have to be favourable at this distance or it could become a bit farcical - i.e. relatively slight wind changes can blow you right off the target.
I heard there is a 1 mile mound planned.

Quote " and when shooting USA, it is all about shooting long range..."
Linda not quite true. When you come over in Sept we will break you in slowly with 8 days at 300, 500, 600, 900 and a wee bit at 1,000 during the SoA (US Fullbore Championships) so you can get zeros for when the FUN begins. There is an old USA saying, "the longest 100 yards in the world is between 900 and 1k".
See you soon,
Larry Bartholome
