Im 17 i have my firearms saftey and bow saftey and will get my advanced hunter ed soon... my step brother has his firearms saftey and this will be his first real deer hunt with a shotgun. I plan on taking us to a gun range to teach him how to safley use load and fire the shotgun as well as i will be sighting in my 10/22 for small games... i plan to do this around late august or in september before small games opens. Im 17 my brothers 16, are we legal to go to any rifle range pay and shoot? or do we need someone 18 and older? yes i understand the laws of transporting a firearm. Im really excited to teach my bro how to properly shoot and handle a firearm that is not a .22 and needs more complex attention because of the more harder recoil.

my rifle range options are beaverbrook gun club and one in forest lake but the one in forest lake is a bit exspensive, 5-10 bucks to get in with one ticket stub that only lets you take aim at one target to shoot another dif yardage is another 2 bucks each time you shoot a dif target thats kinda alot to me but beaverbrook is only open to the public in october so im not sure were else to go thats near anoka county... any suggestions?

If you dont mind the drive the Sportsmans Club in Henderson is $35(?) a year for a family membership. There is a 70 yd pistol/rifle range, a 40 yd archery range with elevated stand, and if you know anybody with a key (hint) we have a portable trap thrower and a trap range. If you want to check it out first, get a hold of me and I will show you around and you can shoot if you want. But to answer your question, you parents would have to get the membership here, but you can come anytime with or without your parents.

I'm not sure if you're referring to Metro Gun club as the Forest Lake one, but its one to check out. Its reasonable priced. You'll have to call them about the rules, but I'm pretty sure you'll need someone who's 18 in order to shoot.

Only way to know is to call.

Flock32, I live in Eden Prairie and Henderson is not that far for me. I'd be interested in coming down if you don't mind. I have 2 daughters that I want to teach to shoot and its would be great to find somewhere that we could be members. My email is epfd217@gmail.com

Hey Powerstroke,

Id be happy to. email sent

I saw you are in Blaine, there is also Bill's gun shop and range over in circle pines right off of 35wN and lake drive, they have a 50 yrd range at that place and I do think one person has to be 18, but they are okay with the range fee.

$20 alone, $30 for a shared lane.
