HI5-O Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 What's the weather like during that time of year? Since I can't get in the match in March, I might as well try to find one I have never been to. Plus my wife said she would be interested in seeing WI.

Edmooberry Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 This year, my wife and I shot on Friday then went to the Dells on Saturday. It was a great time! They put on an excellent match and there is a ton of stuff to do in the Dells (only a half hour drive or so). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
