Mike Rowe
My wife & I are active on another web site trying to get concealed carry for IL. We retired early from our Photography business in Carmi IL and now fight full time (unpaid) for Gun Rights in this goofed up state. We both love to camp, hunt, fish and shoot. We are board members at Carmi Rifle Club and range officers there as well as NRA Basic Pistol instructors. We love all things shooting Live in Deep Southern IL below I-64. If you have heard of IGOLD, you should have heard of Valinda Rowe! Her idea of a fund day is running 80 rounds through her beloved AR-15! |

Hey there! Newbie from the NW burbs. Single 40ish chick. I'm a Dilbert cube-dweller in the office.
Came here from an interest in disaster prep. I've done some good things already (especially with my documents and such), but still have a lot to learn. Looking forward to possibly meeting some of you some time. |

St Charles New to the AR-15 but not new to firearms My wife bought me my AR as a wedding present back in the middle of Nov and I've been dieing to shoot it but I dont have the property to shoot at home or the money for a membership. I used to shoot at my parents house but they moved to WI. Does anybody know of a range that is open this time of year? I know Bffalo Range just closed for the season. Is there any where else? |
