Kooty, I’m with you. It can be really frustrating to find out about ranges and clubs. Open hours, who can shoot when, members vs non-members, etc.
Especially when you get out into rural areas. Many ranges just have member’s only and “everybody knows” they are open certain days/hours.
I shoot over in Hudson at the Hudson Rod & Gun club. In fact, I was just there yesterday and due to the Packers playing (beating!) the Bears, it was empty. But that’s too long of a drive for you, I’d think. It’s a nice club, though.
Isn’t there a club up in Chiscago/Forest Lake/Hugo? I’ve heard about something up there and have been menaing to check it out as I recall they have longer ranges.
Sorry, can’t offer any more specifics.
