The Gopher Rifle & Revolver Club was organized in the early Forties by a group of employees from Onan Company who shared an interest in fi****ms and shooting. Range facilities were developed on land leased from Anoka county in what is now Bunker Lake Park, Bunker Prairie Park and C**n Rapids Golf Course complex. As a result of the park and urban development, the range was forced to close in the ea
rly Sixties. A site was found 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 with an electric thrower in a target house and 5 stations 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, 500, 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. It is our objective to encourage organized rifle, pistol, shotgun, and archery shooting among legal residents of the United States, with a view toward a better knowledge on the part of such persons in the proper handling and care of fi****ms as well as improved marksmanship. It is also our objective to further the development of these characteristics: honesty, fellowship, self-discipline, team play and self-reliance which are the essentials of good sportsmanship and true patriotism.
