SE Wisconsin or NE Illinois spot to sight in rifle
Any one have any recomendations where I can sight in a rifle this upcoming weekend? I have been to Bristol, which is an ideal location, but they want $30 for a non-member to sight use the range for aday. Most years it would not be an issue, but things are tight this year and I need get a few shots in before I head out west. Can anyone recomend a spot? Ideally with a 200yd range.
If you can wait till November 7, Racine County Line Rifle Club will have a public deer sight-in (Nov7,8 & 14,15). The cost is only $5, and it's a great place, and well organized.
McMiller Sports Center in Eagle WI has 100,200 and 300yds. for around $15. You can get to their website through Millford Hills Hunt Club as I think they just took the range over. It's a nice, inexpensive range.
2nd wibucks comment. $15/day with an added charge for the 200 and 300 yard ranges.

I usually hit Bristol but $30 is way too much. That shoot that Karabiner is talking about looks good. Does it say it starts at 7 AM? I usually just like to run 8 or so shells through my .270 and 12 gauge and $30 plus ammo plus gas runs gets to be alot to get up to Bristol. I forgot what the name of the range that was around dundee years ago. That was a fun range $15 and you could shoot all day at anything, 50 to 200 yd ranges, skeet, plinking pond. Man, I miss that place!

Fox Valley Rifle Range (Carpentersville?). Dunno if it is still in operation. I thought it closed years ago due to urban sprawl.
