Help
I bought a Ruger 40 cal pistol. My wife and I are delivering the Billings Gazette to all the dealers and racks in Bozeman and Belgrade every night around 3 am. I'm also collecting money out of them at the same time 3-4 times a month, usually around $1500-$2000. I have been walked.up on by homeless people and drunk college.kids a few times, and It's going to get worse as the weather warms up.
My question is, where is a good.place to go around Bozeman/Livingston for a little target practice. I know about the place.up Hyalite but the road is closed until after the spring run off and I don't want to pay to go to the Logan gun range. We are going to Libby in a few weeks and I can fire it up there but I don't want to wait that long.

Re: Help
Thanks LTCF. I thought there was an indoor range somewhere, but I couldn't think of where.

Re: Help
What's weird is they don't allow FMJ or JHP ammo. If you read your gun warranty, it likely says that you must always shoot jacketed ammo. I think there is an outdoor pistol range in Manhattan though.gocats wrote:Thanks LTCF. I thought there was an indoor range somewhere, but I couldn't think of where.

Re: Help
Yea, I've been to Logan a long time ago, but someone told me they are expensive as hell now. I'm thinking more of a place in the mtns you can drive up and fire off a few rounds.

Re: Help
Suprinsing at it might seem the grip that you should use for your semi automatic is different than that for a revolver. Get some shooting lessons and a concealed carry permit.

Re: Help
We used to go up to Hylite all the time during college and pick a random hill that was safe to shoot at. Man, I miss college sometimes

Re: Help
That is odd that you can't shoot FMJ. That is all I can find for my 9mm. At the indoor range here in Billings, they require only FMJ. I like the pricing at the Gallatin range.

So now we have two very good reasons to not understand their policy of no jacketed ammo.MSUcantouchus wrote:The jacket seals in the lead and the lead dust, keeps the air quality in the indoor range safe to breathe.LongTimeCatFan wrote:I wonder what their reasoning is.WeedKillinCat wrote:That is odd that you can't shoot FMJ.
