Google map satellite

I copied the google satellite link so you can see the lay of the land, the pit is off to the SE corner.

They have shotgun clay throwers at the far end of the pit, bring your own clay.

EDIT: if you want to shoot at the ranges, not the pit, I THINK, you need to bring targets and a way to attach them (tape, staples). I THINK they sell targets (paper) and rolls of tape if needed. If you want to you can bring targets and place them/throw them down into the pit. check the website for other stuff.....

I dont have pics but you wont be disappointed.  Great place to shoot.

They have a few targets for sale but you are better off to bring your own.  And a staple gun work a shit ton better than tape.  I will be there this weekend sighting in my new Remington 700

There was a post not to long ago about not taking picture at Buffalo Rock. Which some people didn't like the rule B.R. set. They said it was because of safety issue. It sound like those photogenic-fashion type may have swung on someone or where conducting themselves unsafely.

I make sense considering some people do not want to have there picture with gun in hand post on you tube or something without their knowledge.

It like going to your friends farm. There are some shooting tables and not much else. Need just about every thing else - Chairs, Drop cloth, Sand bags, Target, Plastic Jugs etc... and lots of the ammo so you can get the "Lead Out"

Bonus points to the arfcommers that can identify their own guns, because none of those are mine.

Indeed.

Lonewolf_05 and I still talk about shooting that gun sometimes when the subject of "gun with the most kick" comes up. We shot your Beowulf and that .50BMG right in a row and yours hurt my shoulder way more.

Holy crap are they expensive. I was thinking of selling my 870 and getting one but there is a huge price difference.

I payed $900 for it  2 years ago at the kane county gun show took it out once, fired 50 shells throw it and it has been sitting sense.

It only shoots 2 3/4 shells but its pretty cool!

anyone going to the pit tomorrow?

I would love to take pics but we cant anymore.

Don't plan on finding any ammo at the Ottawa Walmart. Your best bet would be stop at the "Big R" in Morris just off the interstate to the south. They usually have some.

LoL not a problem.  If you would like I can go check for you.  If all else fails I would be willing to let a box go.


Edit* what gun did you get?

Double Edit*  I figured you would want me to check so I went anyway.  If you want them I picked up 2 - 100 round Winchester White box Value packs.  Cost me $45 with tax, and you can have them for that.  If you dont want them its not a big deal it will just go into my collection :)

The Farm and Fleet in Ottawa would be a better bet than the Wal-Mart...

I bought a S&W M&P 9mm a month ago and everyone has been out of ammo. I just want to shoot it. I really want to shoot my new AR's and shotgun. We are leaving at 7 so we should be there around 9.  We are leaving early to go to walmart  since we are 1 1/2 hours away we have no idea where we are going.

I will be there when it opens at 9am.  I will be in a Red 07 Chevy ext cab with firefighter plates.  I will probably be going to the 100yrd range first to sight in my Rem 700.  Look me up if you want that ammo.

See you there

ok, we will be in a saturn. and I think we are going to the 100 yard range to zero in our AR's.

The rule that I make is every gun must have 500 rds. per caliber and 22's 5,000.

hmm never did see you out there?  I was there before they opened and left at noon.
