Matt the new Rifleman checkin in..
The most likely spot in Fargo is probably Adventure Shooting Sports, in Horace. It's about 10 minutes southwest of Fargo.
http://www.advshoot.com/shooting.htmlAll of us Fargo folks have shot there before pretty frequently, and my impression is that they're interested in doing more event hosting.
Mr_C, one of our other ND Rough Riders, and the primary organizer of our caravan down to the Elk River AS, has already been out there taking measurements, to see how wide of a firing line we could setup. He's working on contacting the owner and has the AS paperwork downloaded.
My thoughts would be to get an AS shoot going in Fargo ASAP, and then something more centrally located as soon as that seems feasible. I'm not familiar with the Bismarck area, but I've got some friends in the far west end of the state that I'd love to get over to an AS shoot, and something centrally located (ideally, right between Bismarck and Minot) would be geographically ideal.
One thing to consider is that some of the best potential rifleman in this state are busy during hunting season and busy during "farming season". Choosing the time of our non-Fargo event(s) might benefit from some input regarding when we'll be able to distract folks from field work for a weekend. As I'm not a farmer myself, I don't have any expertise to offer on the topic of ideal timing.
Anyone have any advice on when a good time to do a central-ND shoot would be? Anyone aware of other ranges in the Bismarck/Minot area?
