sorry no clown shooting allowed unless it is in self defense. i'm trying to see if there is any interest for any 3-gun matches, strictly for fun though.

i have already set up a machine gun show/demo-shoot for may 20th in princeton Mn. We will have about 20 collectors, dealers, manufacturers bring out their collections for all to see and shoot for the price of the ammo. we did this last fall, and had around 100 guns to shoot. we will have lots of different targets, bowling pins, old toilets,
computer monitors, etc. if anyone is interested. i will send them the info and map. princeton Mn is 40minutes northwest of minneapolis/st.paul.
 
I'm sure you are talking "Jerry's?" That is where we do our outdoor training. Amazing what a .50 cal does to a Dodge.
 
oleg volk, i will e-mail you the info as soon as i can get it scanned in. still trying to figure out the scanner thing. last years shoot was a good time. i hope to have more people attend this year. we will have more guns this year, and lots more targets.

pluspinc, i've never heard of jerry's. where is that???
 
Jerry is a fellow who has a range and does a lot of full auto shoots near Princeton.
July 4th is a legend around his place.
 
pluspinc, sorry i don't know a jerry, but if you think he would be interested in what we do have him contact us by e-mail or phone and i will get him the info.

oleg volk, greg cotton's name sounds familar but i can't seem to put a face with it. we have about 20 collectors/dealers/manufacturer
that are in our group, and i only know about a dozen of them by name.

we did this last fall for the first time, and had about 85 people show up, other than the collector bunch. a great time was had by all over about 5hours of shooting. we plan to have more guns, ammo, and targets this time. i'm hoping to make it an annual event.
 
I'm from the People's Democratic Republic of MN. Have not heard of the Princeton meet, but 3 gun matches sound interesting to me. And welcome to TFL.
 
I'm from MN!
You might know my house, it's that white one near that cornfield! (How's that for narrowing it down?) :D
But seriously, I'm down about an hour South of the Cities.

If you ever get down near Faribault (not my town) you ought to head 8mi. West and go to Ahlman's Guns. About 1500 guns in stock (even though road sign boasts 3000; that include parts guns and old receivers, which are technically guns) and five fulltime gunsmiths on the premises.
Also a 30 & 60yd rifle, 25 yd handgun, and 100 & 200 yd rifle ranges outside.
It's $5 for the day, or $20 for a year and you get your own magnetic card that'll let you into the range even when the store is closed.
(507)685-4244 for directions. Open 9-5 M-Sa.

Minnesota Machine gun show/demo shoot

to get there: go to princeton which is between elk river and lake millelacs on
hwy.169 (northwest of minneopolis).
on the north side of princeton you will come to the intersection of hwy169/hwy95.
