Electronic muffs never lie.

QFT! You can hear a mouse fart in the woods with those things.

 

[Winamac]

I'd rather not. If they are members here, they know what they did

Roger that!

Roger that!

On a brighter note, my friend was taking some shots with my AR, when a butterfly decided to land on the flash hider. Needless to say, there's one less butterfly on that range.

Oh the humanity.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but have these been held at the Kingsbury or Willow Slough DNR ranges? I really like Kingsbury, but only heard recently about Willow Slough...

If you go, don't punch the address into a GPS, it just gets you to the Ranger's house.
Make sure to use the GPS coordinates listed in the first post.

Or, someone local may combine a ride.

That being said, are there any more shoots this year?

Okay cool...I missed that. I was under the impression they moved around from time to time. Thanks!

The very first one was held at Jasper-Pulaski (J-P) on Halloween day. It was a cold COLD windy day. (I would know, as I was shanghied into running it.) It was decided by the few people that braved the weather that the facilities at J-P were NOT ideal for what we were trying to do. Winamac was just a bit firther, and seemed to have a nicer arrangement with a wooded area that helped keep the sun, and wind off us. PLUS it didn't seem as popular with the general public when we first started.

Got the map printed out (an an app for the coordinates), and it sounds like fun!

Shame I can't fit some 4x8s in my car though...

I did have a nice chat with Dan the DNR Range Master. He was wondering where we have been. They are definitely in need of plywood. September 26 is the next M&S. More then likely I'll be working but if I do get the day off my son has a scout event that day.

 

[NapalmFTW]

Is there one in November? Not like I will be available since we have a wedding that month.

EMDX6043- If you have never been to the Winamac FWA range. You will not be disappointed. IMHO it is one of the nicer state ranges.

 

[EMDX6043]

Never been, and I just remembered that Corn Fest in Morris IL is that weekend...I'll probably be working anyway and won't be able to do anything fun!
