Morning at the Gun Range

Anyone up for a Sat morning even at Bills in Robbinsdale to fire off some rounds?

I would likely be in - if you wait till Bills has their shooting show you can rent / shoot guns for free (just have to pay for ammo), if there is anything specific you are wanting to rent / shoot. Bills allows both rifles and handguns - not sure if there are restrictions on rifle calibers. I have a Springfield XD45c (45 acp) and a Remington .270 rifle that people would be welcome to shoot if you supply ammo.


Also note if anyone is thinking of renting a machine gun I think you have to set that up in advance - and be prepared to have it be a very short amount of shooting, or to drop a mint on ammo, those things eat through it like you wouldn't believe.

that would be fun, ive got a Bushmaster ORC M4, and a springfield XD9, smith and wesson .22lr pistol. havent shot in a range for quite some time, always shooting out in the woods

I'd like to make sure my Sako .270 is still zeroed in and I need to get the new scope on my air rifle in the ballpark, but I'm always up for throwing some pistol lead down range too if the opportunity presents itself. I'd be interested in the pay-for-ammo to shoot a variety of weapons too....9mm Glock or something badass like a .44 Mag or something.

I wouldn't recommend bills for sighting in a .270, should do that at ~100yds since it's such a hot round and I think bills max is 25-30... they 'might' have a 50 but I don't recall it.

As a side note. I have a membership to a shooting range that is outdoor, has 100yd and 25yd target banks, and is about 5 minutes from Grand Casino Hinckley, i'd have to see if everyone is supposed to have a membership or just one person but I 'might' be able to get us the ability to use that. Bills is nice though for the ability to purchase targets, ammo, rent guns, etc.

Oh and I'm sure most know this but, if you're renting their gun, you have to buy the ammo from them. If you are shooting your own you can bring your own ammo which is advisable since they are not the cheapest place to buy ammo. Also you may want to check I know some ranges require brass only ammo (no aluminum / steel ) I can't remember if bills is like that or not.

There was a guy shooting a .50bmg there, I would expect they don't appreciate tracers though.

Tracers are only 1 out of every 5-10 rounds, so no worries! Sucks it's a short range, but perfect for handguns. I'll throw some lead at stuff whenever people want to make this happen. Any plans to finalize a date?

the 26th?

I'll wait on the 1919 due to the cost of the ammo, but I'd like to fire off a glock or something.
