Hi everyone,

Wondering what options (ranges) are available to someone wanting to shoot more then 200 yards in MN.

The three I am most familiar with are
Gopher Rifle Revolver Club; Harris /1000 yd
North Star Rifle Club/ Red Wing 600 yd
Elk River Sportsman's Club 600yd

These are private clubs, but non members are welcome to shoot matches, when they're hosted there.
GRRC will have open practice sessions, mid week, during warm weather; shooting 500-1000 at varying dates

There's a range in the area of Faribault that is ...?500? yds but I'm not familiar with it.
Also a range in/ around Duluth 500?600?; I am not familiar with.


Also apparently another commercial range with 1000 ...recently opened in Ottertail County

A couple of resources to comb through.

Here's the Rush Lake Range in Ottertail county. Nice place. They've been hosting some PRS competitions.

Faribault Rifle & Pistol Club has 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 yard berms. All shot from the same position. There are 5 pistol bays too. Rifle range was just revised this past summer. It is located NW of Faribault. Memberships should be available.

For some reason the web site is down at this time.

Have you shot up there? Been wanting to get up there to shoot my new RPR 338. Long ride though.

I

I shot a 3 gun match and a couple of 2 gun matches they put on. Haven't actually done any long range there yet. But I can shoot out to 1000 here at the farm so there's not much incentive, unless I get motivated to shoot PRS.

I think it is $85 annual family membership. $50 if you are over 65. No work requirement but it is a volunteer club so help is always appreciated.

Let me know if you need more info.

Be VERY careful of the roads and parking lot.
Crampons are recommended.

There is a 1K range up near the border. Northland Range and Gun Club. Membership is 30 or 35 a year.
