New York Mills?

Haven't been there since the New York Mills Philharmonic played against the famous Danish conductor Heilige Danke Schoen:

The Facebook page was created in April, and still not a single picture of the place? :? :cogitating:

Do you have any info on the 1000 yd range, such as how many target/shooting positions, benches etc? Their FB page has ZERO details. I also wonder if they permit 50 BMG?

Is this a club, or open to anyone(for a fee)?

That's exciting! Props to the proprietor for making that happen.

If anyone is interested in making a weekday trip out there from Minneapolis, shoot me a PM. I've got wheels and a 2'x2' steel gong, as well as a range finder and some smaller pieces of steel. But unless I'm sharing gas with someone, I'm unlikely to be motivated to make the drive by myself this summer (I'm already a member at Caribou).

This is my second year as a member there. I'm pretty content shooting out to 500 yds there. Unless some miracle happens during my current load development, 1000 yards will probably be too much of a challenge for me to drive the 3 hours on any regular basis :oops:

I'd forgotten about the various practice shoots, thanks for the reminder
