Re: Illinois, southern Wis, Northern IN

Ripon Wisconsin's Ripon Rifle and Pistol Club (private range)has capabilities to 600 yards. I'm trying to work a deal to officially manage the Public rifle range in Waushara County a few days this summer. Nice range... but often vandalized. The County told me one more incident and they may just close the range. So I'm working a volunteer manager deal on a few Saturdays. Stations to 200 yards but the range is capable of much more, which I hope to encourage.
 
Re: Illinois, southern Wis, Northern IN

That would be horrible news for a range in WI to shut down. I cant stand stuff like that. Maybe the club could pool its efforts to mitigate vandalizing somehow. Fences, Sniper type blinds, More locks who knows. I dont know the club but id hate to see another club in wisconsin get shut down. The laws in our state are horrible for gun ranges.

Re: Illinois, southern Wis, Northern IN

not really that close to angola. It's in woodruff. It's closer to south milford or wolcotville. here is a link.

It's fun up there. I live about 30 minutes away, and would like to spend a bit more time there.
 
Re: Illinois, southern Wis, Northern IN

Been wanting to give Youngs a try ever since I found out about it. I'm in northwest Indiana so I would have to make a day of it since it is a bit of a drive. There is only JP 230yd and NPCCC 100yd by me and that is not much of a challenge for a TRG-42.

Been a member at Young's for 3yrs now. Excellent place to shoot/meet people. Everyone I've meet down at Young's has been great.
 
Re: Illinois, southern Wis, Northern IN

Anyone know what's going on with the McMiller range within Kettle Moraine? I've heard it's now on limited hours, etc.. typical b/s from the surrounding neighbors who are probably avid hunters, but piss on the idea of having a shooting range close by - the same hunters, who see no need for CCW in WI.
 
Re: Illinois, southern Wis, Northern IN

I've never been to McMiller, but my old man is a member at Daniel Boone Conservation League and they have a nice range out to 200 just north of Milwaukee on 45, It's about 10 min from the Cabela's in Richfield, WI... It's a really nice place.
 
Re: Illinois, southern Wis, Northern IN

I was to mcmiller last week, very nice range, they have a 15,25,50,100,200 and 300 yrd ranges. Range officers are good guys and $15.00 to shoot all day at the 100 is not bad. if you want to use the 200 and 300 its $22.00 all day. But the max distance is 300yds..



* mcmiller hours- NOV 1st-21st, open daily 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Re: Illinois, southern Wis, Northern IN

I am a member of the Juneau Sportsman’s club 50, 100, and 200. Not bad at all for a small annual membership and the fact it is ten minutes from my house. It is about 30 minutes west on hwy 60 off of fwy 45
 
Re: Illinois, southern Wis, Northern IN

They passed a law in Wi. years ago which "grandfathered" in ranges like McMiller (state owned) to keep them around for ever without dealing with PC bullshit.
Coming from IL., I love McMiller.
