Members BottomHeavyKate Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 We might even be able to do a combined HCBF/HCAF shootout. I know MattACaster is talking to a few folks over there about getting together for an afternoon shoot then going to some brewery in Indiana....

Maybe we can really play BIG and go to a bourbon distillery in Kentucky. Whichever. I'm in and legal and have plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BottomHeavyKate Posted October 30, 2008 Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 Indiana?! ... why .... cuz you got no FOID biznatch!! Tho - you are a cheesehead.....if I remember correctly you don't need one to go to the range in Illinois - you just can't rent or buy ammo. But you can shoot what we bring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brother Mango Posted October 30, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 Ok. Let's set about making plans. Weekend, week night? Let's just be sure not to schedule this on Someday. Wanna do this some time in November? I know that, for me, 22 & 23 Nov are booked. And then there's Thanksgiving but I've got no Thanksgiving plans.

Members Brother Mango Posted October 30, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 30, 2008 Weird thing: The FOID application required that I send in a photo but the FOID showed up with the same photo that's on my driver's license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gspointer Posted October 31, 2008 Members Share Posted October 31, 2008 Too bad I live too far away, I would definitely be down for a shoot.FWIW, we need no ID card, we do need a permit now to buy a handgun.I did sight in a buddies rifle he bought for his daughter last weekend, then shot my .45-70 guide gun and Sako .17HMRF. It is pretty sweet living in the country, I shoot in my yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members L-1329 Posted October 31, 2008 Members Share Posted October 31, 2008 That is a Springfield Armory 1911 .45, which is one of the absolute top makes for an out of the box shooter. I have the 6" barrel version of that, and it is nothing less than superb. You will love shooting that one for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vanlatte Posted October 31, 2008 Members Share Posted October 31, 2008 Weekend! Dumb question: are these ranges indoors or out? It's gonna start gettin' chilly. Also, what sort of cost are we looking at here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BottomHeavyKate Posted October 31, 2008 Members Share Posted October 31, 2008 weekend would defintely work best. Handgun ranges for the most part are inside. The only time you are going to be outside is if you go to one of the big ranges that also allow rifle, shotgun, and clay shooting. I think L-1329 said there was a range up north closer to the Wisconsin border. I only know the ones in the south suburbs. Most of the time it's $10-$15 for a range fee. Then the cost of ammo. Vanlatte - in your case - one of us would have to buy ammo or you'd have to buy some in Wisco and bring it along because you can't purchase in Illinois without a FOID. A lot of ranges will offer guns for rent but I can supply the following Beretta 92FS 9mmS&W 9mmSF 1911 .45Buckmark .22Ruger GP100 .357 Mag and one or two .22 rifles - most handgun ranges will let you shoot these as they are also a handgun caliber. I've got a really cool 1971 Browning T-Bolt that was made in Belgium with a scope. A very nice old bolt action perfect for someone who's never shot a rifle before.

Members Brother Mango Posted October 31, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 31, 2008 Let's start throwing some dates around. I want to go soon only so that it the idea doesn't fade away. Looking as my schedule, this weekend and the weekend of 22NOV are the only ones that don't work. Then, there's Saturday 13DEC that isn't good, but Sunday 14DEC is fine.
