I am from Great Falls. The new range is a work in progress, should be pretty good when it is finished. Missouri River Shooters is working on a 300 yard range for a start with plans for a 25,100, 300 and 600 yard in the future. The shooting complex will have the Ed McGivern pistol club, Great Falls Skeet Club, Missoui Rivers Shooters and a black powder club. It will have a archery range, camping spots for meets and a pond to train your water dogs. The public portion of the range I think will have a 25, 100 and 200 range. Rigth now the MRS has a tempory range set up with a 25 and 100 yard.
This range has alot of differant organizations involved, hopefully they can work together. There is talk of a 1000 yard range sometime in the future. The NRA and the Montana FWP played a big part in getting this going and I hope it works out.
I am going to the range this weekend and will check out the progress.
If you need AR stuff Mitchell Supply is a good place to buy from. They are at the Helena shows and I think in Billings. Jim is the director of the MRS youth program, 4-H program and is very involved in shooting sports.I bougth a 20" Rock River and a Glock 30 last year and a RR stripped lower this year at the GF spring show. They are a RR, Armalite and Robinson dealer. Here is a link:
