school/classes in MN?

[338weatherby]

I've searched but can't seem to find any long range classes in Minnesota. I would assume that if there are any, they next dates would be summer '23. I was hoping to find something that's within 2-3 hours of Duluth, maybe 4 hours. I found a few clubs where you would need to be a member but membership at 3 hours away doesn't seem to make sense for me as getting there more than once a year would be problematic. Near me, the ranges max out around 300-500 yards and getting to walk up to your target is near impossible. The range would need a cease fire (if the range master is willing). Northern Wisconsin would be an option as well. Any suggestions or direction would be greatly appreciated.

I've wondered the same thing. I found one place near Brainerd but it seemed similar to the distances you mentioned. Rush Lake Range near Ottertail has long distances (1300 I think) but I haven't seen much related to classes. It's also about 3.5 hours from Duluth. Hopefully someone else can give some better info.

Where do you see those? I did a search on the Hide but only come up with dates 2 or more years ago.

Hibbing Rifle and Pistol Club will be hosting some in the summer of 2023, keep an eye on the calendar on their website.

Would love to. Hard to fit it in with the family. Open on weekends? Year round I would think I could plan a long weekend at some point.

Did you find a class or some training you were looking for? I had asked earlier here what are your goals on what you would like to accomplish or improve on.

4 hours +/- southeast of Duluth in Wisconsin, have trained folks in the past one on one or small groups. I have a good amount of time with long range or the ELR stuff. From reading maybe you're looking for a range to practice closer to home or maybe you were looking for some help. So I threw this out there.

I wish something was close for practice mostly as a lot of my shooting is when I can fit it in. Going to a class for a day/weekend would be tough. Lots going on chasing kids sports. PM me more info as I may be interested in a class if it's feasible.
