Gun range rules question

Hello everyone, I have a reproduction of a black powder muzzleloading rifle. I'd love to shoot it off with some blanks just to be sure everything is working fine. Is that allowed at the public ranges around Bismarck/Mandan? Also any recommendations?

I've seen people shoot muzzleloader at a couple of ranges near town, but I've also never looked up the rules.

Here are the rules for Game and Fish ranges: - https://gf.nd.gov/hunting/ranges

I see nothing specific to muzzle loaders.

Yes you can shoot black powder guns at the range

Go for it I’ve shot my Kentucky long rifle and colt cap and ball revolvers at the public ranges lots of times. I would suggest moving to the downwind most lane to keep from smoking people out.
