Hi,

According to the Buffalo Range website the pit is still closed.

Anybody know if the purported restriction of 50 BMG was in place?

I need to get some VHP (Very High Power) therapy and want to rock my world with a few shots from little old Voima (that's Finnish for power).

If anybody knows, I'ld love to hear.

Will probably do the trek out there anyway to see who is around.

Found my answer to the 50 BMG question.

Posted my view in the other thread about Buffalo Range [Rock] Court days.

Maybe it's time to completely deprive IL of any tax income, and move to a less decisive State in our Nation.

Yes. And should you feel a need to complain, call your state senator and representative and ask them why buffalo range is being targeted by Lisa Madigan's office.
