sounds good thanks

 

I was over there today and no skitters to deal with. Someone left the place a mess so I cleaned it up a bit.
The bales look fine and so we should be good to go. They didnt have anything posted up about Wheeling
having a shoot this sunday either.

 

I will be at st James farm next to Blackwell. I need to sight in again after having my string replaced... I have the worst luck it seems.

 

Thanks Tony! Looking forward to getting together with everyone! Hope we get a few more to join us!

Michael: I would go 59 north to 12 north. Take Wilmot Rd Right to 173 right. The range is about 1.24 miles up on the right hand side. If you cross the river you went 20 yards to far.

 

Danny where is that at? You should swing by. I am picking up my bow on friday from having the same thing done. Planning on shooting friday and saturday to get it all sighted in so I am ready for sunday!

 

What time are we talking Ferg?

 

Michael, incase 173 isn't marked very well from Wilmot rd. It is a 4 way stop with a big gas station on your left and Kasey's Cabin on your right.

Tony, I am planning on arriving about 9. Don't think we need to go earlier. I know Michael has a bit of a drive so that will give him time.

 

If I am up early enough I may get their by 7 and wet a line.

 

Thought you were hunting in the morning? You gonna toss a line in the river right next to the range or head over to Camp?

 

Blackwell or St. James is in winfield off of Mack rd east of winfield rd.
It's ok there but the targets suck. But you can shoot out to about 90 yards if you wanted to have some fun.
Im more excited to go to the chain and do the walk thru that was metioned before.
I'll print out some 5 spot targets for us to use

 

Never heard of that place. Will have to check it out someday! That would be awesome if you can print out some targets. I was gonna pick up a few at Bass Pro tomorrow but hate spending money on paper that gets destroyed so quickly!

 

Oh and we can definetely walk the course. I think I have only walked that course once but it wasn't to bad!

 

did yall shoot??? i was lazy the other day and just hit up Bass Pro.... not too bad just working out the kinks getting ready for the season.

 

We are getting together on Sunday to shoot Isaiah. I know you have to work so your not able to make it. You should get Littleshooter to come out and shoot with us! I sent her a PM about it the other day but haven't heard back.

 

If you live near this area (hoffman Estates) you can go shoot at Buck stop archery in west dundee they have a 20 yard indoor range there. It's $6 all day. It's on the east side of 31 in the century plaza 1.4 miles north of 90.
