MOB Day At The Range Redux: A Benefit For The Rosenbergs
By Mitch Berg
The Minnesota Organization of Bloggers Day at the Range will be held this coming Thursday, July 14, at Burnsville Pistol Range in Burnsville. The event will run from 5-8PM.
The event will be a benefit for the family of the late Joel Rosenberg. The suggested donation to participate is $20 – and since every penny of proceeds will go to the Rosenbergs, anything extra is appreciated.
We’ll have five or six firing lanes. Bring your own handguns; if you don’t own any, there will be quite a few loaners there from various MOB members.
The ammo supply is, in that great Minnesota tradition, pot luck; feel free to bring a box of ammo out to use on pieces that you want to borrow; you can certainly barter and share ammo when you get there if you want to try more than one piece. You may also buy ammunition at Burnsville, which sells most of the popular calibers of pistol ammo. Indeed, we recommend buying ammo at BPR – they are giving us a spectacular rate on the bay.
We have loaners committed in the following calibers:
- .22 Long Rifle
- .38 Special
- .357 Magnum
- 9mm Parabellum/Luger
- .40 S&W
- .45 ACP
- .45 Long Colt (revolver)
(I”m still crossing my fingers someone will show up with a .455 Webley).
Please respond in the comment section, or by emailing me at “feedbackinthedark”, which is a Yahoo dot com address. Please provide…:
- Your name
- Any extra people in your party
- Whether you will or will not be bringing a piece.
- Whether you’d be willing to share the piece(s) with other particpants.
Hope to see you there!

Mitch, I don’t have Webley, but I do have a Colt New Service chambered for .455. Is that close enough?

Sounds like a hoot. Can’t make it.

I’ll be bringing my AR-15 in .22 caliber — always a crowd pleaser!
