North is locatedin Blaine just north off 35w and lake Dr.

The website for Bill's is http://billsgs.com The south location has a 25 yard indoor range, the north one has a 50 yard range. Both are nice ranges. There is also Burnsville pistol Range (http://www.bvpistol.com) I haven't been there but I hear it's a nice place. For shooting outdoors I don't know of any public ranges in the area, but there are a lot of private clubs around some of them have openings for new members.

You might want to look through the archives at http://mnguntalk.com this question has come up there more than once.

I'll second Bald Eagle, I shoot their pistol league and it is a nice range. It is private though so you need to be a member, shoot in a league or go there for a special event to shoot. I just looked at the web site, and it looks like it is open to the public on Saturdays.

Burnsville Pistol Range is a DUMP. No room for gear, lanes are not air conditioned, partitions are too small, overpriced.. I could go on and on.

Just curious here; who is cheaper than Burnsville Pistol Range? I know Bills Gun Range charges $20 for one shoot while BPR charges $14. I won't deny they are a dump though.

I joined the club down at Ahlmanns (spellcheck) .. 30 bucks for the year however the shooting lane for pistols is a kind of " BYOT " bring your own targets. They offer nothing to hold, steady, or lean targets against but I have enjoyed myself much more there than BPR or Bills.

Decided to go with Caribou.
I went to Bill's once. kind of spendy and after I got home I was blowing black junk out of my nose the rest of the evening. Decided I would stay with the great outdoors.
Caribou looks like a nice place and pretty reasonable price wise.
