Jake
I'm in White Bear Lake (North suburbs). Email me thru AR15.com My friends usually go to Armored Fire ( [URL]http://www.armored-fire.com[/URL] ) if we don't go up to my Grandma's farm and shoot. BTW AF has some good looking British 30 rounders for $22 and change. I picked one up when I started to break in my AR15 there this past weekend. <- british steel ones. |

Checking in, Living in Champlin, working in Bloomington.
I know we'd discussed the next Minneapolis shoot - mcnielsen suggested that we go to Bill's in Robbinsdale - he mentioned something about reserving the entire rifle range for us undesireables. Is this something anyone would want to do in January? |

I started a reply, but it vanished on me somehow. So, I'll try again. I shoot at the Carver County Sportsmans Club in Waconia and at the Wealthwood Gun Club (north side of Lake Mille Lacs). I'd be hip to hookin' up anywhere for a shoot.

Hello,
I live too close to Armored Fire, so Im biased. Bills Gun Range does NOT allow brass or steel shell cases to be shot at the range... The range that is only 25 yards deep... So, I think Armored Fire is the BESTEST place to shoot in the winter. Nice people, costs are the same and they are great for group events. Not to mention I can shoot all my crappy Blazer ammo there! I know a nice place we can rent up by Princeton, MN...It is where they have annual machine-gun shoots. This would be good in the warmer months. 100 yard gravel pit that is JUNK FRIENDLY! DA |

Princeton is straight north on 169. Very roughly 1/2 way between Rodgers and Garrison. iNuhBaDNayburhood, are you still (IIRC) in Brooklyn Park? I go thru there almost every weekend. My folks live up in Deerwood.

If anyone wants to get a outdoor shoot going, I can start getting some of steel "swinging gongs" welded up. There's a great mexican restaurant on 169 in Princeton (Chicos Place). Keep us informed.
Sleepy717 BTW-Hope the tests went well. |

If so I have a few friends that like to go shooting. |

Quoted: checking in... Southeast MN - Rochester to be exact. Lab Rat.. I am in rural Rochester (Pine Island/Oronoco area).. where do you shoot in the area?.. I am member of Zumbro Rifle Club, but have not spent much time at the range there.. do most of my shooting at my own range at cabin in north MN.. Let me know your shooting "habits".. we'll have to try to connect. Bravo5-2 |

The friends I was talking about own guns but not ARs. I'm sure if they wanted to shoot others they would offer ammo or a "short term gun trade".

Hey sleepy, how often do you shoot at Wealthwood?
My cabin is about a mile from that place....the 300 yard range is nice but the "1 shot every 5 seconds = rapid fire" mentality gets a little old. If they want to see rapid fire, I'll bring up iNuhBaDNayburhood.....he'll show 'em rapid fire. |

MN shoot would be nice [^] .. great to see the number of posts to this thread.. let's arrange a get-together. ..I passed this thread on to "Westy".. he accompanied me to BRC'02.. from the SE Metro burbs.. waiting for him to check in. who else is in the Rochester area???.. sound off!

Lurch,
I shoot at Wealthwood about one to two times a month. My folks live about 15 min from there (Deerwood). I spend just about every weekend up in that neck of the woods. The only time the wife & kids don't venture up there is when work is too buisy. I hope to go shootin' there this weekend. I'm praying for snow at this point... Sleepy717 |

Bravo5-2.. I belong to the Southern MN Sportsman's Club (south of Roch). It's only about 10 minutes from where I live, but it kinda sucks in some ways so I'm looking for a new place. Thinking about joining the Pine Island club that has the little range along Hwy 52. How's the Zumbro range? I need someplace where I can shoot handgun at 3, 7, 15 and 25 yards. At the place I go now they bitch if you shoot anything other than 25 or 50 yards, sitting at a bench...
edited to add... Do you have any good ffl's in your area? I'm looking for one to do a couple transfers. |

Lab_Rat;
I live pretty close to PI range.. only reason I didn't join was no long range.. Zumbro has 200yds.. pretty good range.. several stations.. they were planning a roof over bench area this past year.. don't know if they completed or not.. have not been out for long time.. usually shoot at my cabin in north-MN. If we get some decent weather, I could meet you and take you up to Zumbrota range for a shoot.. if I recall membership is $25/yr + a few buck for gate key(?) regarding txfr FFL's, check AuctionArms for list.. thought I saw a few in area cities.

Too bad I won't be in town the 28th.....heading for lake of the woods on the 26th and coming back on the 29th........I have gone to Armored Fire once and it was pretty nice there......the only thing about indoor ranges I don't like is when I shoot auto's and it is too hard to get your cases from the floor since half of them go inside the barrier.......

Theres another BIG show coming to: Minneapolis Convention Center Feb. 22-23 2003 & March 22-23 State Fair grounds. |
