Haenelistklasse Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hello, I was wondering if anyone might know where I could shoot my MP40 in either Northern Wyoming or the Black Hills of South Dakota. I would really like to shoot it outside. Looking for when the weather gets nice. If in South Dakota would need a few weeks notice so I could fill out my 5320.20. Well, thank you for any help, leads or information. Haenelistklass PS I am not looking for a free range. I will pay whatever fee it is. I am also an experienced shooter with about 25 years experience shooting this type of gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppgcowboy Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Just shoot on some BLM or Forest Circus land. Get a C&R license and you can go when you want. No forms to fill out. Edited March 7, 2018 by ppgcowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petroleum 1 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Check with the bureau of land management in the state you are in. They can direct you to the open areas that are approved for target shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 You could try the Cody shooting complex. Most people just whip it out on public land since there is about a gajillion acres and no one around or out the backdoor since almost everyone has acreage. If you can't find a place to shoot a subgun in WY you haven't looked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haenelistklasse Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Uhhh, yes, I have. In fact, I went to a range outside of town just shooting semi auto guns and the sheriff was called. It seems the range was closed down due to stupid people not knowing how to handle a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppgcowboy Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Drive a couple extra miles. But you are allowed to shoot on BLM and forest service property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 70% of the Bighorn basin is public land and you can shoot there. You could take Stevie Wonder there, have him shoot machineguns, and not have a problem hitting anything. I've shot in a lot places in WY and never had an issue, but I've yet to shoot at an actual range.......no need since you can set up about anywhere and not be bothered? Once in a while you have to shoo some cows off and down by Star valley (east in the mountains) we shooed some sheep away? They might still be doing the Casper MG shoot in June again this year? I've never been, but the guys I know that do say it's excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Dudley Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) If you shoot on public land, just be sure to pick up the brass and trash and have your paperwork with. Which Buffalo are you about an hour away from, S.D., N.D., or WYO? U D Edited March 13, 2018 by Uncle Dudley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
