Hamma Slamma Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 IL resident here too. North side of Chicago. I gotta drive an hour to get anywhere good to shoot Excellent site Less. I'm bookmarking it! I'll be at the Bristol Action shoot August 7th if I get a holster and extra mags in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mainus Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 If you are driving up to Bristol, keep heading north and give Schultz's in Muskego WI a try. We shoot on the 2nd Sunday , and NISA(Northern Illinois Shooters Association) shoots at our club as well on the 4th Sunday of the month. These are sanctioned USPSA matches.

Hamma Slamma Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I'm always open to trying new things and new ranges. I'll make it a point to give you guys a try. Is this a membership only club? Are you open to the public for "plinking"? I went to McMillers shooting center, was a long drive, I liked the facility, I hated the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a members only club for use of the range other than organized matches. All USPSA/IDPA matches at our club are open to the public.

Hamma Slamma Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Tom for me closed membership is very bad news. Personally, not trying to be mean or crude, but I think it's stupid. How else can you grow your membership if you don't let new people try you out. I'm even willing to pay a premium for use of the facilities, but to each their own I suppose. I'll try to check you guys oout for one of the matches though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to check you guys oout for one of the matches though. Thanks for the props on the site! Regarding ranges: There aren't that many "public ranges" in the area - Maxon's in Des Plaines is perhaps the closest to you, followed by GAT Guns in Elgin, then "Smoke and Choke", err, HP Shooting Center in McHenry. Most of these places don't want to deal with the liability of holster draws, etc, so if you go, don't expect to draw from a holster. Most of the private ranges are on private land/etc and use it as a way to pre-screen folks coming in. From their perspective, nobody wants to see accidents... Additionally, since some of the ranges are a bit remote (like Schultz') they want to be REALLY sure that folks aren't going to get hurt... I'd venture to guess that most of the folks in this area who get serious belong to one of a number of clubs in the area - PM me and I'll try to point you in the right direction. See you around sometimes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom USPSA matches are Schultz' ROCK! It is especially fun to see Alex G. smoke up stages! Kudos to the NISA and Schultz' guys for putting in the hard work!
