FTE Range Day
 

So who would be interested in an FTE range day?

Like shooting range?

Yessir! 8910

???

I would go but I have nothing to shoot at this time. Where were you thinking?

The extra numbers were for the extra characters for the 10 minimum.

I've got stuff for ya to shoot, don't worry about that. I know there is Bills in Robbinsdale and Blaine, In-Range in Monticello and a few others.

Sounds good. Let me know when you are planning

I might go but I also do not own a firearm. Haven't shot since I was in the AF......

I've got a few I can provide but I am not paying for your trigger happy finger ammo. :D

I know I'f a foreigner but this sounds like an interesting meet/event.

Do you guys do this outside or inside?

There is an inside range with rental guns in my area. Never been there but have been told it's pricy but fun. I still have to find out if I can use the 600magnum there. :-X03

During the summer I like to shoot outside whenever possible. During the winter I go to the indoor range. I want to say it is around $30 for a shared lane rental. I haven't been to the indoor range since last winter. At Bill's I've been there when people rented the .50BMG and man does that thing make noise!!

Sounds like it might be possible (if I don't work).

I'd be in. I have my little .25 to bring.

Sounds like fun.

I have no pistols, only a 30-06 and 12 guage.

I don't have a gun either but depending on when it is I may be able to attend!

I'd love to come! I haven't had the chance to do any shooting in awhile.

Here's what I can bring:

Springfield XD .40
Ruger Mk III .22 target pistol w/ red dot sight
Hi-point .380
Mosin-Nagant 91-30 7.62x54
WASR-10 AK-47, 7.62x39

Anyone's welcome to shoot them, just bring some money for ammo!

Hey Chris! Sounds like an awesome Idea, No handguns here, but I have a few others to bring. Keep us updated!

So what day would work for everyone and where should we go?

I'm a bit too new to the area to know of a good place. But pick a date and I should be able to make it work.

Here are a few to look at.

Bill's Gun Shop & Range - Robbinsdale and Circle Pines, Minnesota Locations in Robbinsdale and Circle Pines

Inrange, LLC home page Located in Monticello

http://www.bvpistol.com/ Located in Burnsville

http://www.northbranchbullseye.com/ Located in North Branch

Whatever you guys want. I've shot at Bills before and they have a nice enough place. Maybe something more on the east side for you guys (North Branch)?

Don't wait for me! The next time I'd be home would be around the first weekend of March I believe. Never shot at any of the places above mentioned, so I have no input to give on that either.

Chris do you have any dates planned or even being considered for this? I was thinking that if the 5th/6th of March would work or even the 12th/13th of March. I would be home in Lester Prairie those weekends and could possibly make an appearance! Just a thought. If those days don't work for anyone else, it's no biggie. Just putting it out there.

The 5th or 6th of March works for me. How about everyone else?

I am off that weekend, so I'll look into it.

This sounds like fun, Im building an AR15 right now and could bring that once i get it done. That place in North Branch would work well for me.

The 5th or 6th in North Branch works great for me!

I think things are falling in place Chris! If I plan on the 5th or 6th, I can make it, no problem! North branch or Monticello are the vote for me~!

I might be up for a range day. I have a couple of older Dan Wesson's and lots of hand load wad cutters I need to use up. Depends on where, and when.

Will the 5th or 6th work best for everyone?

March 6th would work best for me, depending on the weather and when I can get home for Spring Break. I am hoping I can go home on the fourth, but if bad roads/weather whatever get in the way, saturday would be my travel day.

Sure Chris!

Hey I'm a shooter! If you don't mind I'd love to attend. I can bring a little of everything so if anyone would like to try out a particular firearm just let me know. I'll stay tuned here for updates.

So what happened to this? Never heard anything about it, and the 5th has come and gone.

Had I remembered I would have asked this two weeks ago...

:confused:

anyone wanna give this a shot again? (pun intended) sometime after memorial day works for me

I don't know what happened to this, either. I'd be interested to give it another go...

I'd also like to try again.

I sold my XD .40 and bought a new Glock 19 Gen 4, I'd love some help breaking it in!

I believe we can help with that Tom! Those Glocks are great!!!! Why'd you sell your XD? ...if you don't mind me asking.

To pay for the Glock, of course! With my second child on the way I can't spend money like I used to...

I loved the .40, but more than once specific caliber I like to shoot frequently. And while the .40 is hardly an expensive caliber it's a good deal more than 9mm, so I decided I wanted a 9mm more than the .40.

The XD was a great gun, I don't think it ever malfunctioned while I had it. I expect the Glock to be just as good, if not better.

And the other reason was that I qualify for Glock's law enforcement purchase program because I'm in the military. So I got a killer deal on it, $469 for a brand new G19 Gen 4 with Trijicon sights. Just couldn't say no!

I hear ya on all that! Congrats on the good deal!

This is off topic so I apologize but for those interested in purchasing a new Glock I suggest you join the Glock Sport Shooting Foundation.

Glock Sport Shooting Foundation

The cost is $35 for the first year and $25 a year thereafter. Membership gets you the Glock annual magazine as well being able to take a Glock Armourer's course in your area along with various shooting competitions.

But the main benefit of being a member is being able to purchase one new Glock pistol per year at the military/law enforcement price. Also, purchases under this program come with 3 standard magazines instead of the usual 2.

I purchased a brand new Gen 3 Glock 19 last fall for $425! The reduced price more than covers the cost of GSSF membership, plus everyone buys a new Glock every year anyway, right? :D
