The Minnesota Organization of Bloggers Day at the Range will be held this evening, 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 hoping against hope someone turns up with a 7.65mm Luger).
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!
Here’s the Googlemap for Burnsville Pistol Range.
Are the donation and BPR range time separate? Do donations have to be by cash or check, or can it go on plastic?
I can’t make it to the range, but I did bid on one of Joel’s guns from his collection. Only one more day to bid!

Dang it! I wont’ be able to show up until 7. Hope you guys hang around.
Dave T, thanks for the info!
Enjoy gentlemen!
Nice range; it’s been some time since I did any shooting there.
However, I have a romantic evening invitation that trumps any amount of ammo and firearms.
Happy Bastille Day to you all; I hope that the benefit raises a lot of money.
Nice to meet you Mitch. Thanks to all that came out to the benefit.
