Hey guys,

I live just over the border in IL. Been asking locally for a good rifle range that's not too far away. I was told about the Racine County Line Rifle Club. I did a Google search and could not find any website for the club. I did find an IDPA site in Racine that had some info on the range. I figured here would be probably be my best bet.

Do I need a sponsor to join?
If I do, does anybody know a member?
How much are the dues?
Is any work hours needs?

I was a member of WSA range on HWY 11 but their hours don't work for me. Plus they only have a 100yd range and no .50. :(

Thanks.

If I do, does anybody know a member?  There are about a dozen or so here in the HTF. One is bound to show up in this thread, and hopefully shoot you an IM.
How much are the dues?  $100 first year, $50 thereafter, IIRC
Is any work hours needs?  100 hours in the first three years, with 10 per year of being at Deer Sight In


"The Club" is a bit internet publicity shy at the moment (hence the comment above).  Hopefully someone will be along shortly to get you hooked up for a visit.

You'll have to arrange a visit with a member, that way you can see the facilities, and can get more info on joining and requirements.  I think it'd be easiest to say something like "can someone take me?" and work out a time.
As far as WSA's crappy hours, I take it you weren't able to make it out to go shoot on the weekends?  That might make things tricky too, as a lot of members only go out on the weekend.

Well, I work on Sundays and Tuesdays so that killed any chance getting anytime to go to WSA. I would love to go and visit the facilities up there. Thanks for all the info everybody.

You could also become an RO at WSA, and open the range on Saturdays

Hello,

I to am interested in the previously mentioned publicity shy club.  I have moved to the area, and being a bit shy, I don't like the "walking around with my fly open" feeling of ariving to a new range with my AR15.  I was very close to attending a course when Jim Owens (hopefully those aren't bad words) was still at the range, but never did.  Now that I live ~10 minutes away, a home for me and my rifle where I am not condemed to shoot alone at the end of the firing line would be plesent.  Lately I have been just shooting handguns at Shooters Sports Center.

Thanks,

Greg

A good way would be to work one of the events meet some members and maybe pick up a sponsor IM me if interested
