Just became a member. I am a Illinois shooter...fortunately do not live in Crook County. We have enouigh hassle with the FOID card. Been a shooter for near 75 years...started when I was 6...gave up hunting years ago and am happy to be able to bench rest shoot and punch paper. Life is great at the range...and what I shoot are classics....Winchester Lo & Hi walls plus some neat wildcat rifles...20 Vartarg, 17 Ackley Hornet, 20-250, & 218 modified Bee. Hope to be active for many more years...will be looking forward to inter-action with some of the members.

Winnebago, Welcome to HB. Got to love those wildcats and semi wildcats. I shoot a 7-30 Waters and a 6TCU among a bunch of other odd but standard stuff. RD
