OT - Question For Fellow Gun Enthusiasts

i would check local ordiance before you start poppin off rounds inside of a city limit... many cities prohibit that lol... I think u should meet up with some of the neighbor kids with their bb guns and shoot at gi JOES tho bahaha :)
 
+1 For Buffalo Rock Range in Ottawa. Here is a link to a site that has alot of the ranges in Illinois.

Also just for General info, Illinois Does Not issue Class 3 Full Auto Licences anymore, unless you are Law Enforcement.

Compguy, almost forgot, nice AR.
I see that you have all of the bells and whistles on it, but your missing one.
The Bayonet. LoL.
 
Just a note here. We're getting a lot of complaints about this thread. While it is ok to talk offtopic, let's keep it legal and family friendly

Thanks

raker, I would like to respond to that and tell you why I don't have one, and what I have in place of it, but I'm scared they will shut it down. I thought we were all being pretty clean. I think alot of people don't realize that these guns are legal and probably think I posted a picture of an illegal gun. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions, I have a few to check out now, I did find the one in Sycamore over the internet, they don't have a page, just some info on it, I googled Sycamore Sportsmans Club and found it. If anybody else out there has anything keep 'em coming, I am going to try and check all these out, obviously the closer ones first.
 
It's sad yo hear this thread is getting a lot of complaints. Shooting is also a hobby just like keeping a fish tank. As long as you practice good firearm safety it's probably safer than all the poisons we keep in our glass boxes. LOL.
 
Any place that has over 200 yards??

My brother goes to a place in Indiana that some people shoot .50 rifles, I will try to find out the name tonight.

I do not have an issue with guns or gun treads in general, but there was a post about modifying legal weapons that I had an issue with and reported.

+1. Im suprised too. Its not like we're talking about anything illegal or anything......

Then again I'm one of the people that are holding out hope we will get concealed carry here in IL one day...:sad2:

Definitely a nice AR compguy.... I always just use the range at GAT or have also been to a place in Joliet/Plainfield called MegaSports... Their range is only 75' though and handgun only.

back in the 90's when i worked for the LFS, i would get to go to the wholesaler APET, the one Phillipino gentleman that worked there would scoop the BRO out of the water and show them to you in his hand. :bigeyes:
 
Roman Ogee asked if there was a place to shoot over 200 yards.

You will most likely have to go private but yes off the top of my head is the Aurora Sportsmens club. http://www.aurorasc.org/

They have a 600 yard range and you can shoot up to a .50 cal that was put in to host the 2016 games if Chicago was picked.

That is the only one I know of in the area. I personally have not shot there yet but will be looking into joining/shooting matches.

If you want to go longer than 600 yards..............most likely you will have to get on someones land out of state. I just hope if you plan on going longer you have a lot of experience behind you......it is a huge responsibility knowing what is in front of you when you are on private land with any distance shot you take.

I was just looking and it's going to cost you $630.00 your first year at ASC plus 10 hours of volunteer labor to the club.........got to pay to play I guess.

Know anyone that knows someone on a farm? You could set up whatever distance you wanted, and as long as you weren't shooting any animals without the proper liscense and season you'd be ok.
 
Apparently there was an issue over my suggestion of bump firing. Thats not an illegal modification it's rubberband and a shooting technique. And the people I referred to shooting the full auto, most of the time they are cops. (SWAT)
