Bill's is the best Range I've found in the northern Minneapolis area. I shoot at Circle Pines…read moreregularly, my Bronze membership is more than covered with the money I save on lane rental. I've rented two handguns to test fire, again, my membership saves me money, but the regular price isn't beyond average costs elsewhere. Bills also has days of the week where lanes and firearm rental are discounted for senior citizens, youth and female shooters. Ammunition, yes. It can be somewhat higher priced than buying in bulk on-line or waiting for a sale at a sporting goods store. Even as a member, I pay full price for the rounds of ammunition I use through a rental firearm. I don't have a problem with this, remembering I'm firing one of their firearms. Requiring instore purchase keeps ammunition an absolute factor: this is reasonable. It also prevents an individual from firing some inferior quality or self-loaded rounds which might damage the firearm. I've sold two relatively new firearms at Bills and received a very fair price. Much better than I could have received at a pawn shop. The potential offer was explained to me, a flat percentage based on the salable value. No surprises. The manager at Circle Pines is generally in during the mid to late afternoon so the process might take some time but I had cash in my hand same day. I'm fully satisfied with the purchases I've made. I could have paid a few dollars less, could just as easily paid a few more. What matters is the way the individual guns were presented to me, compared for me, and explained. Excellent customer service! I've also found it easy to get advice, especially when considering an optic. Red dot, green dot, field of view. I'm farsighted and that became part of the discussion to find the right item. I've also asked at the counter for an opinion about bore laser zeroing, something I had just learned about. The only downside to the Circle Pines shop is they don't have a gunsmith on site. Robbinsdale does, and the work done there is first rate: installing night sights on a subcompact pistol, a new grip assembly on a compact. In my experience, turnaround time is negligible. I did pay the 25-dollar same day fee each time: it turned out to be "same hour". though my service didn't involve repair or expensive upgrades

Their prices were good, all lanes were well lighted, the range equipment worked, and they actually had a bench against the back wall for loading magazines. The people there were also great - friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable We really felt they were glad we stopped by. We've done a fair amount of shooting at ranges around the Chicago area, and would rank Lake Trading Company's range up there with the best. It was a very positive experience, and has been added to our list of things to do next time we're in the area.
