New to the forum, so take it easy on me if I ask some stupid questions please!
Pretty new to the whole gun thing. I have 3 boys that are 20-25 now. Up until a couple years ago the only gun in the house was an old single shot H&R shotgun that sat in the closet. Now we have an AR15, a Barretta 9MM pistol, a Russian Mosen (7.62?), a 12 gauge Mossberg pump, a 22 rifle, a Savage 30.06, and just added a Saiga 5.45.
Brings me to my question. The boy has 600 rounds he's just itching to shoot with the 5.45. There is an indoor range a mile from my house, but he has no interest in indoor ranges. He wants to shoot at a variety of "stuff", including of all things a gallon jug of Aunt Jamima.
I understand that you can shoot in State Forests...but that seems to be hit or miss. It also seems to be our only choice.
Does anybody have a tried and true spot that they go plinking at that is maybe within 100 miles of the MPLS/St Paul area?
We are also looking at going to Zippel Bay, lake of the Woods area, around the end of July. Is there any area within a hour's drive of Zippel Bay that would be "safe" for some shooting fun?
Thanks!
