There's a place in Santiago, though that might be too far of a drive, called Wild Marsh Sporting clays http://www.wildmarshsportingclays.com/RiflePistol.aspx that has a 100-yard and has the best sporting clays course I've ever been to. There's also Del-tone in St. Cloud http://www.del-tone-luth.com/

I'm not sure of any other private ranges that far North. You could always try to get on the waiting list for the Monticello or Elk River Sportsman's Club.

Your best bet is gopher rifle and revolver in Harris,Mn. We are hosting the IBS 1000 yard nationals. Sept 1st thru 4th. You can go to the GRRC website for directions. I along with several other members will be on hand for any questions.

Hi Chad,

We PMed each other a few days ago. The MRRA website has a list of competitive clubs in MN.

The following hold full distance HP matches: Gopher Rifle and Revolver Club in Harris is closest to you, and the only range in MN that has 1000yds. Northwestern Gun Club in Duluth has a rifle range to 500yds. Northstar Rifle Club in Red Wing is a rifle club with 600yds. Elk River Sportsman's Club in Elk River has range to 600yds. I'm the President of ERSC and a MRRA board member. Both Gopher and ERSC have weekly leagues for rifle shooters, XC, F-Class and sometimes Smallbore.

There are other nice ranges, but they may or may not have the facilities you expect. See you at the range!

Thanks again everyone, I am looking forward to getting out and meeting everyone. I lived just outside of Pella, Ia and have attended a couple of the 1000yd matches there as a spectator, got a chance to shoot a couple times to see what it was like. Really enjoyed it and am planning on someday getting more involved in this type of competition. I am going to try and get out to the GRRC in the near future to see the facilities. I have a new rifle that I am still trying to get some loads worked up for. So if anyone knows the schedule for meetings in Harris please send me a pm. Won't be able to make it this coming weekend but sure would have liked to.

Thanks again,
Chad.
