Gate #1 Activities

We open our doors leading up to the Minnesota Dear season; with our member volunteers to help assure you have the best possible chances.
Greeted by a warm bonfire and friendly faces, we set up our Ranges from 25- 400 yards with targets and staff to get you in and out as quickly as possible.

Our Ranges were built with safety in mind while keeping you covered from the elements. Our fixed distance, no blue sky ranges, meaning you can not see above the berm when shooting, were designed to be an excellent place to practice your rifle and pistol skills.

Covered from the elements, the 200-400 yard rifle range is the perfect place to practice your rifle skills year round.  Targets can be placed at 200, 300, and 400 yards.  This range also has a target camera system so you can see your targets without leaving the firing line.

The NRL22 is a division of the National Rifle League which is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the growth and education of precision rifle shooting.

The NRL22 was created to provide a way for shooters that are looking to get into the sport of precision rifle shooting the opportunity to do so without having to invest a lot of money in gear and travel.

The NRL22 program is designed so that any facility with a 100 yard range can participate in local competitions to qualify for a National Championship.

We provide monthly Matches throughout the year that are open to the public.
