i have the urge to go shooting today... either Bills North or Burnsville pistol range... checking their hours right now... anyone else going shooting today?

i seem to remember bills north closes at 5 ? on sundays so that might not be an option  ETA shit, they do close at 5pm and burnsville closes at 6


anyone shooting during the day tomorrow?

Never been to the burnsville pistol range, is it any good?  I live in Eagan, and I would be a heck of a lot closer than going on the other side of the metro just to shoot.

There are two options in the south metro
Burnsville Pistol Range and Dakotah Firing Range at the Casino.
Dakotah is the cleanest, best ventilated, and best lighted range in the metro.  Downside no rifles and only to 50ft.  But, nice place with decent prices!

By Mil-surplus, do you mean steel/aluminum casings?  Bill's is pretty anal about shooting only brass, I have a shitload of CCI blazer aluminum that I'd like to pop off.

i think they didnt want me shooting south african surplus at burnsville if i remember correctly

a employee at bills NORTH told me one time to shoot all the milsurp i wanted to, "hell, it was made to be shot" or something along those lines

Bill's never got on my ass about milsurp, unless it was steel casings.  They really didn't even mind that some of it was steel core.

On the retrospec, Armored fire used to be range Nazis.  It seemed like they wanted to check every goddamn magazine I had.

IIRC Burnsville pistol will allow seel case, just one steel core bullets.  You might want to call and ask.

Bills doesn't let you shoot anything with steel cases.  ONLY BRASS.  They are very very very anal about it.  The will even boot you for it.
