Sportsmans club eastern metro/western wisconsin!

[beierman]

I'm looking into joining a sportsman’s club in the eastern metro or western Wisconsin. I am an NRA member I know that most clubs want you to be. This club must have a rifle range does anyone out there have any suggestions.

Thanks Ryan

Oakdale, Forest Lake and River Falls, WI all have Sportsman Clubs with rifle ranges. All three can be easily searched because the town name is in their name.

Oakdale is open to non-members during parts of the year. Plenty of rifle ranges there. In my opinion it is the best for bullet shooters.

I have been to River Falls (nice, but small) and Forest Lake too.

Bald Eagle Sportsman Assoc in Hugo is members only. They have a 100 yard range. They seem to have the greatest issue with housing encroachment.

BESA is open to the public on Saturdays from now until deer opener. 25, 50 and 100 yard ranges that are all covered with good sound protection. There's a brand new building near the rifle ranges and a very nice building at the trap and skeet ranges. The best part is that they are now accepting new members and you can probably join very easily and quickly if you want. The neighbor issues have calmed down considerably over the past couple of years due to some very aggressive sound abatement work done by the Club.

Memberships in many things in NE metro is wide open right now. Country clubs (golf) with waiting lists now are waiving initiation fees. Exclusive hunting clubs (preserves) with waiting lists are open with low intiation fees ... It also appears that shooting ranges are also now looking rather than holding...

I am sure BESA is a fine club. Was there maybe 10 years ago.

Looking at the original posters location - River Falls would be wise choice to investigate first!!!
