I shoot at Minnetonka Sportsman's in Mound on Hwy 15. I can bring guests for free, but the rifle-range there is only 100 yards (I do any long-range shooting at the cabin). PM me if you ever need to get some range time in the cities.
You'll notice I said the "last" range trip before the season. I usually get out at least a dozen times in the two months before deer season. This is just to re-re-re-confirm zero, as I have been out shooting quite a bit this fall.
FWIW, I am sold on the Nikon Monarch fixed 4x scopes I put on a few rifles a while back. I have them on my (edit: one of my)30-30s and my .270, and this was the 4th year in a row that they have been nuts-on for EVERY cold-bore shot at sight-ins.
The one that matters though is the 2x Leuopold sitting on my 44 magnum Super Blackhawk. I am going with the handgun only this year. Well, that's what I say now.....
