GRRC Club History
The Gopher Rifle & Revolver Club was organized in the early Forties. The club relocated to its current location in 1970 near Harris, MN which could accommodate a 1,000 yard rifle range, and this initial plot has grown to its current size of 342 acres. Conservation and range development are on-going programs and many thousands of cubic yards of earth have been rearranged while preserving much of the areas’ original condition.
On the property, we have a multi-purpose range with backstops at 50, 100, 150 and 200 meters; a shotgun trap range and a separate sporting clays tower; a 25 and 50 yard pistol range; a Blackpowder range with targets set at 25, 50, 75 and 100 yards and a Highpower range with target pits and 20 carriers with the firing lines currently at 100, 200, 300, 600, 800, 900 and 1,000 yards. The remainder of the property is about 100 acres of woods, 50 acres of swamps and ponds and another 50 acres’ of grassy fields which include a picnic and camping area. The range is open to members 365 days a year but the general public is only allowed access for the scheduled matches. Visit our web site at http://www.grrc.org/
Next steps are for GRRC to get the signup process completed and available along with the specifics for the cost. I’ll be posting additional information here when it becomes available.
If there are questions at this time contact Mike Wieland at ibs1000nationals2010@yahoo.com or here via Benchrest central "Mike W in MN".
