Cool, thanks for the info.We found out today, we will be stationed in Middleton, wi. A little west of Madison.
Almost enough air gunners in Wisconsin to have an annual get together and shoot.we all would have to drive 1/2 a day to get to a central location, accommodations or camping are a must. Nice to see i'm not totally alone. though I have stirred up some local interest in air guns , and have found a few others in my local area who are not internet savvy.

I'd love to see a fun shoot in WI. I'm in the middle of the state so I'd be open to almost anywhere. I only wish I had the place to host it myself. There are some decent public ranges around. However, as the rest of you probably already know, campgrounds fill up fast in our beautiful state. I would be happy if we could even get a small group together for a day. Just as an example, there is a huge public shooting range in Mosinee open from early May to Nov 20. sat and sun 9-5. $3 all day pass. Also another in Stevens Point that I have never been to. What do you guys have near you? Lets start throwing out ideas or it will never happen.

I was kind of thinking of your neck of the woods , maybe even a little more south, might attract some from MN and IO also, maybe UP. I will do some more demographics as this seems to be catching on.
Here, during the summer the dane county sheriffs range is open to the public.$10 a shooter. If we reserve one with enough notice, We could theroetically have an entire range to our self, 100 yards wide, 100 yards long. They have several ranges of varying widths. One is about 30-50 yards wide and 100 long. With 10-20 Airgunners, the smaller one would be big enough. Since we are shooting airguns, they may park us off in the grass in a semi private area..Don't know until we ask.,
South does make sense. I just took a quick look at those who put themselves on the member map. It appears the biggest concentration of WI members is in the Milwaukee area and second Madison. Also there is a huge group in the Chicago area, some of which "Tater for example" have already expressed interest. On the other hand some may want to come north to take a break.Like most other stuff I have experienced though, if you wait for everyone to first agree on a date and place it never happens. The sooner we get some ideas the better. I'll keep looking for options as well and post any I find.All Ideas welcome. Lets her them.
