Title: Hickory Hills
Post by: Whome1525 on October 12, 2020, 08:06:02 AM
  Well I went out to the club yesterday and it looks like I will be joining it. They were nice enough to tell me not to join until November as that way I get this year and next. Price is up to 200 a year and 100 the first year, and at my age no work days.
  Now I will have to get off my dead @@@ and do something during the week LOL.

i've been there a couple of times and really like the place.  i had thought about joining, but just a 10 minute farther drive and i can shoot for free at my sister's farm.  are you aware there's a scuba shop 2 miles west of there?  not many ranges can boast that. 


it will be up to you to host a fun shoot this winter.   ;) ;)

Steve,
Glad to hear you are joining. I am a life member at 72 years old. I was just there 2 days ago on a very windy day. The range is so well prorected from the wind. All surrounded by trees. The only wind that can be perceived comes from the parking lot.
I live in Darien. How about you?
Hope to see you out there sometime.

Hi Don,
 I live in Plainfield and the club is only 3.75 miles(the long way) from me. Would like to see you at the club one day.

I've been there several times, it's a great place to shoot. Nice people there in general too and never crowded. You'll probably have the place to yourself most days.

It's true that you will usually have the whole place to yourself. You are not limited to shooting on the airgun range. Both lakes and all the property is available. Shooting lead in the lakes is discouraged.

I took the new beast out yesterday for the first time and got a little trigger time with it, and with this trigger I’m going to need a lot. Started out at 25 then moved back to 55 yards.
