Hello SWMN!

I am hoping you folks could point me to the nearest archery range near Redwood?

I'm getting into fletching my own arrows and also need a good bow tune up, so I am hoping I can get some suggestions as to where to go around here for that.

Thanks a ton!

i think the Saratoga Archery Club by Tracy would be the closest. there is also a club in Wilmar. You could also check out the Minnesota State Archery Association's web site. they have a list of clubs from accross the state. if you need help finding a club, let me know.

Twin Rivers in New Ulm had an indoor range, there is also a outdoor one there in the summer months. Also I could give you the number for Bear Tracker archery in Lafayette. Those are probably the closest other than Tracy for you in Redwood.

Thanks guys!

I'm pretty sure Saratoga and the one in Willmar are both private ranges right? Don't you have to become a memeber and pay a bunch of money? I would have no problem joining, aside from living so far away.

I'll check out that site and see what I can find.

Thanks again!

Saratoga is a great club, but beware if you go there, you are going to want to keep going back.

That's great!!! Sounds like Saratoge is the place.

I would be up for shooting anytime, so I'll keep ya posted.

Does anyone know the hours? I've tried to call them a few times and never even get an answering machine.

Actually there isn't a lot offered on their site as far as contact info. I had to do another search to get a phone number, and it didn't even connect me to the range, it was to some guy that couldn't even tell me if there was any type of open shooting. All he could tell me was it was members only, but wasn't really sure how it was all set up.

Doesn't appear to be the place afterall!

I'd have no problem becoming a member, except for the fact it's too far away for me to get my monies worth.

Looks like I'll have to pursue the place in Willmar, or else there is a place in Bird Island too, Renville Rangers Shooting Club. Anyone ever been there?

All I really want to do is get my bow tuned up and get some advice, being I'm 1 year into the sport now, I have more specific questions that I need answered. I plan on doing most of my target practice at home, but a time or two w/ a pro would be sweet!

      Trailer Jack upgrade

      Nice!   It would be great if they had some kind of brake, so you don't end up on your neighbors YouTube video going down the driveway! 😆

      Trailer Jack upgrade

      By SkunkedAgain · Posted

      Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack:     It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion?

      Bait

      By SkunkedAgain · Posted

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits

      Bait

      By gimruis · Posted

      That's part of it.  Several recent years of drought have definitely played a role.   There's other factors too.  MN does not allow importation of live bait from other states either.  That really affects the amount of golden shiners available, most of which are not trapped here.  In other words, demand exceeds supply.   Lots of bait trappers and dealers have simply hung it up in recent years.  Its hard work for not much money.  The two nearest me are both done as of last October.  They both told me its just not worth it anymore.  One of them had been there for 45 years.   My advice would be to learn how to effectively fish with artificial lures more often.  I've slowly weened myself off the use of live bait nowadays.
