You might think rapid fire rules are stupid, but they are fact of life. They are for the safety of all shooters. And, we don't morons who think they are the world's greatest shot making ranges front page news.
All you have to do go look at any indoor range in the metro and look at the walls, floors, ceiling, etc. If people great shots then the ranges would all look like show room new condition.
Till you can spend money on land and have it insured you best just follow club rules.
Most ranges have enough problems with neighbors. But bullets leaving range property makes the neighbors contentious.
Many have conditional use permits that can be canceled without much provocation.
Just stick to the rules and enjoy the range.
Most private gun clubs in and around the metro go through the renewal process in the late fall. There are some
you join during the year; IIRC the one out at Hutchinson (Gopher Camp Fire) and perhaps Rainbow Sportsman out by Cokato.
The clubs have to see how many non-renewals they have before taking on new members. Some have extensive waiting lists.
Some have hoops to jump through like finding a sponsor. (Pretty easy to do go to club meeting and ask)
There are some clubs that have public hours like
Oakdale Gun Club and
Beaverbrook Tri County.
There are some public ranges so to speak.....DelTone in St. Cloud and
Caribou near Le Sueur
