Minneapolis area ranges (moving)


Recommended Posts

Well, I took a job that's going to take me from having my own range with 24/7 access (a pasture, hah) to working in downtown Minneapolis. It looks like there's plenty of opportunities to shoot matches, but what I'm really interested in is ranges with open bays (preferably private)? I have my own steel, target stands, texas star, etc. but I enjoy live fire practice pretty frequently and shooting in a lane in anything but the dead of winter just kills me. 

 

We haven't started house hunting yet, but it's coming in a hurry. If possible, I'd like to live relatively close to the range, hence my question. Fees/work days, etc. don't bother me, but a 2+ year wait is probably a deal breaker for me. 

 

Thanks in Advance!

Whatever you do, do not live within the city limits of Minneapolis itself.

 

Seems to be common advice, thanks. We’re still trying to decide which direction to look as far as a burbs go.

Awesome, I appreciate the info. 

I should also note that if you live far enough east of the metro area, Eau Claire (WI) may be a viable option. They have several good ranges.

During the fall months our Minnesota Outdoor Gun Range opens the covered rifle range for Deer Rifle Sight In. Rifle shooters come from all over the Twin Cities to shoot from 50 – 400 yards in advance of the Minnesota and Wisconsin Deer Hunting Season. For more information click here.

 

Holy s#!t that's the time to stay away from their rifle range
