07/11/10 NWI Meet & Shoot

[Greatestsin]

As of right now I'm in attendance with a maybe +1

I will have:

Beretta 92FS 9mm (i don't have too much ammo so if you want to bring your own ammo I won't complain lol)

Remington 887 12ga(same)

The maybe guy has a CZ75B if he attends

 

[Woodrow]

Work schedule isn't out yet, so there is a good chance I can get that day off. If so, my wife will be with me.

I'll have my 1911s, some .22s, my M4, AK47 (Jediagh, I think I got all of the cosmoline cleaned out "What did you do to jam an AK?" Haha).

 

[Woodrow]

Oh yeah, if I can come, we'll rustle up some grub too.

Also as most of us now it's hard to find a local range (nortern NWI) that allows us to shoot rifle or shotguns so this place as sort of become the place for us to bring the big toys to.

Willow Slough is nice too.

Willow Slough is nice too.

There is really no comparision between Willow Slough and Winamac. WS is a garbage pit compared to Winamac.

Is that so? What's better about it? I haven't been.

take a look at some of the photos from the last one here:

Keep in mind that this is only the 25 yard range. They have a 50,100 and 225 yrd range as well that are pretty much the same layout.

Aside from the lack of a 225 yd range, the primary difference appears to be that Willow Slough is smaller. Google Maps has Winamac at only 20 minutes further from me. I'll check it out.

Never been to Willow Slough so can't really comment. All I do know is that when we go we literally take over the 25 yard area and it's been a comfortable group of familiar faces with just a few "no nos" in firearm saftey and those "nonos" have come from the guest we have taken who are starting out in the sport.

Willow Slough is nice too.

My sons go to Willow Slough sometimes, I haven't been there in 5 years. They told me that you have to go through a safety orientation and receive a card.

Safety orientation consists of telling you how the range works and then asking you how it works, then giving you the card.

I think you just don't like us anymore.

 

[Delmar]

What is the cost for this event?

 

[AuntieBellum]

FREE!!!!

Just show up! Bring some toys if you have 'em, bring some ammo, and everyone has fun! There's always lots of people willing to share both toys and ammo for the sake of a good time!

AND -no range fees, no range master breathing down your back. Range master checks in every once in awhile, but we call our own cease fire and police the line ourselves. Anyone from new shooters to experienced shooters and guns from .22 pistols all the way up to really, REALLY loud shotguns are allowed!

 

[Delmar]

Cool! If I can make it I'll bring my Stevens 12ga SxS, a Marlin 90 .22 and a .44 percussion revolver. The has to be some people who have never shot one of them.

 

[GhostofWinter]

What is the cost for this event?

The cost? ooh man it's very VERY expensive.



How much ammo are you planning on bringing? As has been said the cost is FREE. the only cost is your gas and ammo money.
