I lived by Pembine and worked by Pound of off hwy 64 not many gun shops in that area, all are small. you have the pawnshop in Pembine,DJs in Crivitz has just a few guns and a gas station in Coleman sold guns. The range I use is in Niagra, $5.00 a year membership.

Pembine Pawn and Gun is a pretty cool place.  I dont remember the name of the other store down the road but its like a one of everything store.  If you need a widget or whoseewhatsee they probably have it.  I think both stores are right on 141/8 just north of the turn off for county road Oo.

They only have 3 stores in town and 4 bars, the range in Niagra is only 100 there was some talk about going out longer but I don't think they have the room. I think there is a 300 yard range around Florence

Here is a link to the match's up in Watson, MI about 30 miles west of Escanaba.

A lot of fun, and good people

If you are worried about having the right equipment, give them a call, they are very open about getting new shooters to come and try it.

P.S. These are the guys from the Florence range as well.

I believe that the range in Aurora was "closed" by the county, but people still shoot there.  The range at Watson is 1000 yards.  We will be having 3-4 Appleseeds there this year.  They aren't on the schedule yet, but will be soon.  I have a private range (25M only, no cost) in Niagara that is for Appleseeds only.  The first one isn't until July http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=10691.0 , but I hope to have 1 per month after this, and practice sessions as well.

There is a 200yd range in Peshtigo, but it is private and I haven't shot there.

It's in the middle of nowhere, about 20 miles or so Northwest of Escanaba.

There are directions in the link I previously posted.

Its about a 2 hour drive from Marinette

I shoot at the Marinette Police range quite a bit. Its just south of town off 41 at the wayside by the cheese shop.
You have to go to the Holiday gas station on the corner of 41 and Cnty T to get a range pass. And if the gate is locked they will come unlock it for you.
