I had heard about this range for years, but never knew where it was. It is free to shoot here, but donations are accepted and you are a dick if you don't drop a dollar or three into the offering bucket for what you are getting. It is a really nice place. They provide targets for you for free, and check to see if they are all shot up and replace them from what I could see. They even provide hearing protection muffs and spotting scopes if you need them. Free. I talked to a co-worker who has been here the last two years in the 2-week period before Minnesota and Wisconsin deer openers to sight in his rifle, and he said there are hardly any shooters even then. Since it is only 8.9 miles from my office at AMSOIL headquarters, I will be here every Monday and Wednesday with my sandwich for lunch from now on. On my first day, I burned through 200 rounds of 115-gr. Winchester 9mm with my Beretta 92FS pistol in less than 20 minutes and had to head back to work. Note to self: load more mags with ammo in the comfort of home instead of fighting chilled fingers on the range.
