AWB wake: Any interest in a northern Illinois / southern Wisconsin shoot?

Buffalo Out?

Better look into Bristol, it appears that the EPA suits are currently harrassing Buffalo with a clean up. This doesn't make sense because the range is already located in a strip mine. I'd be interested email me

I'd be willing to "host" it at my club. The only draw-back is that's there's a $10 per person "guest" fee for non-members. BYOA and shot all you want. Rifle range is 100 yards, but we do have CMP classses and we've got three trap fields and a skeet range. But you can load more than one round (no automatic fire however). Sunday's are normally fairly open.

Oh yeah. It's the Aurora Sportman's Club in Sugar Grove. You can check it out at www.aurorasc.org. Send me an e-mail at [email protected] if you're interested.

Ahhh...the beginnings of a new group. I just moved up here...I have a shooting buddy, a couple showing interest and have met iamkris....see this thread:

I was involved in the creation of the DFW Highroad shooting group (http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/THR_DFW/) and while I realize that it won't be the same up here....we can still get it started.

How do you westerners feel about Michiganders?

I've always liked 'em Except when their beating my Florida Gators in Football & Basketball.

Update on Buffalo Rock

I talked to Buffalo Rock a few weeks ago. From what the daughter told me, it wasnt the range that is getting hassled by the EPA. It is the land fill behing them that is getting rebuilt. She assured me that they will open again in September. She didnt know exactly when.

I recently found an outdoor range in Sycamore IL. It is open to the public. the hours are 12:30 to 4 Sat and Sun. They have probably 50 lanes, from pistol to 100 yds. They will allow double and triple taps...but no rapid fire.
They allow anything smaller than 50 BMG. The cost is $10 for the day, for non members. It seems Sunday is more crowded than Sat.

I'm in!

Edited to add,

Everybody should try to bring all of their "Assault Weapons" and cameras for pictures.

Exactlly what day/time would be best ?

The day after, the 15th?

or wait till the weekend?

I'd rather wait for the weekend myself.

NukemJim

Yes 9/18 or 9/19. I'll be out of town until Wednesday...but I'll give IAMKRIS a call then so maybe we can set something up.

Hey guys. I'm game. I'd be more interested in the pistol range.

Thanks

errrr I'll be goin to China the next weekend.....I'll give you a call in the morning.

I'm in! 'Got a few dozen buddies that I am tryin to rally for the gig.

Buffalo range would be most ideal for my location since I'm only 20 minutes up the road, but anything within a three hour drive is worth it in this marvelous, gun-friendly state!

I'll be at the Aurora Sportman's CLub around 1200-1300 on Saturday. Anyone who's interested let me know. Gate will be open because we have Sporting Clay's that start at 0900.
