I've been a member up at Del-Tone in St. Cloud, but it's bit of a trip and their range only goes to 200yds. They've also had some legal hassles this year which has closed their pistol and 200 yd range (which I know they're working on). I'm looking for a place to shoot closer to the NW suburbs, prefe...

With State Farm, our home owner's policy had a set amount they'd pay to reimburse for firearms (I think it was $5k). There was a separate amount for jewelry.

Drive by that all the time. I'm probably not a potential customer, I'll honk.

k9barco,

If you visit the Cabelas in Rogers, look closely on the west wall, I think they have a plaque engraved with my name on it. Well, they should anyway... I'm pretty sure I've paid for that wall by now.

Tim, what business? I'll be sure to patronize it (unless it's the quilt shop).

Hi,

Just joined and it seems like announcing it here is the thing to do.

Looking forward to talking with some local folks. I'm into hunting mostly, I reload and have some interest and experience/training in long range shooting. I'm thinking of getting into F-class.
