I think the major problem with the Cooper course is the concept of the rifle itself. I don't know of any rifle that's capable of doing that. Now if we're talking about some sort of firearm that mostly resembles a artillery gun mount, that would be different.
I don't think you could do it in Texas. We have too much heat mirage and our soil drifts so much my house isn't that stable.
I won't even mention the wind.

Got any 3/4 mile long railway tunnels? Straight ones? I know of one in Montana that'd likely do it. And some mountain cuts or passes would likely do as well.
I wouldn't be surprised if the first rifleman to score on the Cooper game is Swiss. Whem I last shot in a match there, the range was on one mountain. And the backstop was another mountain. And the old Swiss K-31 straightpull rifle loaded with heavy .308 boattails might just be the tool for the job, especially with a 12-shot magazine fitted.
