air conditioned range?

[akodo]

I normally go to BPR for my shooting. However, it can be darned hot at times. Back before the gun range next to mystic lake casino had it's fire, that was a nice ACed range.

Any other ranges roughly in the twin cities area ACed?

Bills?

Bills?

Got a few. Do my best to always pay them on time even in these tough economic times. Despite being off topic, I appreciate your interest.

Ranges have a massive volume of air circulating out into the filters and I've yet to find one that could get more than ten-fifteen degrees less than the outside temp in the summertime. To get a range "chilly" when it's 90 degrees outside would require HVAC units almost as large as the range itself. Bill's South uses individual AC blowers behind each point but on a very hot day it will still be warm out there.

Just a make up air with cooling coils. Yes you do have to over size it but you can make it happen. I just started up a make up air with coils last Thursday when it was 90+ outside. We had a discharge air temp of 55. On that unit we can keep supply temp at 55 anywhere from -45 to 120 outside roof temp. I would say the reason ranges don't do it is because it cost a lot of money to run it.

Bills has air circulation? Since when?

In Range in Monticello, is kept pretty cool, almost cold.

I'm sure the South Metro Training Center has AC...which is always on HI COOL.

That probably why they charge so much for the public to shoot there... Also the gov. pays for it too.

Vantage point in Kasota stays darn cool. They have the water running down in back. I am sure that has to help. Way cooler then Bills.

Thanks, up until today I didn't know there was a Kasota MN... Any thing else I should know about this bastion of civilization which apparently has a cool gun range?
