Sunday 1 / 20 / 13...10:00 AM until ???

McMillar's in Eagle WI

Bring whatcha got....shoot whatcha brung!

For those who don't "know' McMillars...it's a shooting range / club with large bore / small bore / plinking / sporting clays / trap and 3D Archery ranges.  A great place to spend several hours punching holes in paper and blasting skeets to smithereens!

Can't vouch for coffee, though...although it's not too far from Palmyra, Whitewater, Eagle, etc...

Post up if you're interested...

this has potential if its not to cold. 1/20/13 in WI could be very very cold.

[mxvet57]

So i take it it's an outdoor range.

Good point.  So we'll make allowances for a "gametime decision" dependant on overall temps.  If it's above 20 degrees F and not windy then it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

We could wait until August...but most would choose to ride instead of shooting, methinks...

Working again...
Always for the coolest meets i have that work thing...

Me and Mr. Sig will be there.

Have been to McMiller's a few times over the summer. That's one fun place to spend an afternoon. One problem I foresee is finding suitable quantity of ammo for the outing.    Most big box ammo retailers around here such as WalMart, BassPro, and Gander Mountain, barely have anything in stock. If there's stock, it's usually the more expensive rounds. Your best bet is ordering online, if you can find inventory.  

Forgot to mention that they also have a plinking range for 22LR's only. Don't forget to bring your favorite 22LR. You can easily end up spending a couple of hours in this area of the range.

You can stop here on your way.

I just got 100 rounds of 380 ACP full metal jacket for less than $40.

I'd love to show up, but it ain't gonna happen on a Sunday. My weekend is Friday and Saturday.

I'll probably spend most of my time either shooting trap / sporting clays or making copious billowing clouds of doom with my muzzleloader.  Might chase down a box or two of .45 ACP for the Kimber, as well...but I can just as easily shoot that indoors and work on my form / technique.

So feel free to bring any / all boomsticks you choose....there will be plenty of options.

Here's a registry of those planning to attend:
1.  Cheddarhead  (Wingmaster 870 Pump / Hawken .54 caliber)
2.

Sounds like fun! I wish I could make it.

The same thought crossed my mind too. Not just Chicago though... all of IL.

Lake Express ferry to keep it totally legal?  Or just say eff it, lock it in the saddlebag and ride sanely?

This -- the Illinois troopers only randomly stop Wisconsin plates (to return the favor, doncha know ;-} )

[Cheddarhead]

Looking at the FCST...this weekend the temps will be above 40F....

Anybody interested in pulling this forward a week to take advantage of the favorable weather?

[Mark Milanowski]

Cabela's is restocked with 9s, 40s, 45s.

I will bring handguns. 9s, 45s, 22s. maybe a 22 rifle and the 22 shilouette pistol if Matt is coming. The Plinking Range is a lot of fun.

Just keep it unloaded, locked, and stored in the trunk and you'll be fine. Don't know if the MI folks have a FOID-like ID similar to IL owners. I believe non-WI folks do not need a firearms ID to shoot at the range.
