Yeah, but there's nothing "Royal" about the CMP.

No, not the Gun Club. However, if my CMP program keeps growing I may need to limit access or figure out how to add more daylight to Tuesday nights.

Or expand the 200 yard range?

Is that an offer to underwrite our expansion?

I like the range a lot but seeing as I can't practice for any action shooting that sure is a big draw back.

Spartan, I am interested in joining and have my dads DD214 for proof of elegibility . I live in Edina and can come to the post or whatever is needed. If you could PM a number to call, I would like more information please.

Thank you,

Jim

May I shoot my 444Marlin pistol on the pistol range, and my 50BMG Target rifles on any of the rifle ranges ?

My Father was in Europe during WWII, will that qualify me.
My service overseas was as a civilian (contractor now days).

sorry but we don't allow 50bmg....

I want to see you sleeve that monster rifle of yours down to 223 and then watch (and giggle) as you, Bigdawg and Joe lug it to the firing line.
