Getting together with my buddy today to work out the details. He has been there longer than me so he will have a better idea on how many people we can bring each trip. I don’t think there should be any issues either way though. We can go whenever we want so if someone can’t make it or there’s not enough room we will just go again the next weekend. My friends and I go about every other week.

On a side note. We are going to shoot point blank tomorrow (Sunday) in Shorewood around 10 am if anyone wants to sling a little lead indoors.

Talked to my buddy, I think 8 people is the right number. The 2 of us make 10. The goal is Saturday, February 8th around 10:00am but don’t put that in stone yet.
Please bring a holster for your pistol and a sling for your rifle. We will be moving around and switching between the 2 while moving. I have an extra qd sling and Glock 19 w/ OWB holster if anyone doesn’t have that stuff. We can share too, I have no issues with anyone using my stuff on their turn. Just bring 5.56 and 9mm to fill mags you will use! Bring enough ammo. Im guessing that I shoot around 300-400 pistol and 150-180 rifle when we go normally, maybe a little more. might be less taking turns with 10 people though. There is nowhere to warm up and the only restroom is an outhouse about 1/2 mile away from the range. We will probably be there for 3-4 hours. We usually go to my or his house to clean weapons, have a beer, and talk about guns when we are done. You guys are welcome to join in that part too. Our normal routine is; Pistols on the line at random ranges using paper. Lots of follow the bullet, dot torture, and other friendly competition type shooting. Pistols shooting small and large random targets (from walnuts, slivers of clay targets, to bowling pins). Moving rifle/pistol shooting at paper and steel (usually <40 yds). Then move back to random pistol stuff. Sometimes 100 yd rifle stuff. Excited to mix it up and do any cool drills and competitions you guys know! Quick reminder, we are not tactical ninja operator dudes with a ton of training. We are average shooters and just do this for fun (and miss a lot). We are also not cowboys and put a priority on safety. I’ll get the final date tomorrow and let everyone know. |

Local outdoor rec club. My wife’s pays the dues so I’m not sure. Around $300 I think. You have to be referred and there is a long waiting list from what I hear. Like packers season ticket waiting list long.
ETA. I think initial buy in for membership is like $1200 or so. |

I used to help run a monthly shoot (not quite as cool as your plan) at a club around here, so feel free to ping me with questions. I can't join you guys for the inaugural event, but if you guys repeat it, or say it grows to like a sat/sun thing because more than 8 guys want in, I can help onsite at some future point. |

Post a pic of your rifle for best results. Magpul stock with slots for sling. No QD points. M-lok handguard with what appears to be a couple holes for QD but I’m not 100% sure. They appear to be 2 different sizes I may just go paracord loops with snap hooks on the end of the sling. |

They appear to be 2 different sizes I may just go paracord loops with snap hooks on the end of the sling. I typically buy higher end stuff and have an old MS3 I don't want to part with (here is a chinesium version to buy today) but I have used zip ties to connect to a rifle with QD mounts. It'll work for a day. You can also get the MS3-type with QD or different ends or adapters for a FrankenAR But I also have non 'legit' 550 cord around an 'issue' type collapsible stock instead of a 'proper' ranger band to keep it in place, so maybe I'm not your role model

Magpul has decent prices slings. You can just ends to fit your connections. If you want to stay QD and don’t want to replace your stock you can add a QD receiver end plate.

Ok, I have to pare it down to 4 guys the first round. We’d like to get a feel for it first time out for space and safety considerations. Sorry for any inconvenience. We will go down the list of the first to reply:
Handyandy Doorman Bosman Efxguy If anyone can’t end up making it please reply and we will add the next one in the list. Siggarreth, pennyless gamer, bssrf, eegs in that order. Meet at the gas station off Rte 55 at the Coal City exit (Rte 113) Saturday, Feb 8th at 9:00 am. It’s about 8 miles south of rte 80. Feel free to bring any steel or paper you have. I’m guessing we will shoot for about 3 hours or a little more. Let everyone know ASAP so we can fill your spot if you can’t make. Next round we add a few more and rotate the other guys in if it all goes well! |
