Wilbur Wright Today

[parson]

Today is my 43rd anniversary, so I took the wife to the range to shoot some guns! Am I a great husband or what??

Actually, she enjoys it, and WW range was a stop between home and the quilt shop that I took her to afterwords.

Shot my new XD and other than a hiccup on the very first shot of the 16 rd. mag, it handled its initial 100 rds. with no problems.

Fun! My wife and I love WW, were just down there last Sunday. I love the rifle range coverings they've added!

 

[308jake]

Glad you had fun and do you have time next Wed to shoot?

 

[parson]

Hey, 308jake, I can possibly go Wednesday morning. How about if I give you a call Monday?

Is that a nice range over there? I've never been but it would be just about as close as anything else. Also is it free or pay?

FREE !!!!!

 

[IndyTech]

FREE !!!!!

Is there a website for it?

I don't want to ask all the standards like calibers/distance/location etc... if there's somewhere i can easily find it already.

Wilbur Wright is a free DNR ran range. It has 50 yard and a 25 yard ranges. Kinda small but alot of nice people.

 

[AXE835]

Just go to the DNR website.

And almost nobody there durining normal working hours...... I hear in the afternoons it can be busy.

It's a nice range if you ask me.

Apparently there is a 100 yard range but some farmer complained or something and it needs some work. They told us that people should put on the registration card to build the 100 yard range to get the powers that be attention so we did.

Rounds from some big rifles was going through the backstop on the 100 yarder! (30-06 and the likes). Its a skeet/patterning range for shottys now. WW is my home range only about 10 min from my driveway.

I was told by uhhh.... "someone" there about a .50 BMG that was fired off a few times on the 50 yarder

 

[parson]

Range officer told that they'll close for a day or two after November 1st to remove the lead from the backstop. I'l bet that are tons of that stuff in there!

Makes all of us casters drool to think about it!

works for me. Talk to you then.

 

[gohard43]

Great range, I was out there yesterday as well. Got a little busy around 3 though.

 

[AXE835]

Yeah sometimes the big ones "sneek" off a couple of rounds. 2:30 till 4:00 gets busy during the week all day during the weekends though. The only thing that erks me is they shut it down at 5:00pm sharp no matter if there is 1 to 3 hours of datlight left.

Just got back from WW, 308 jake & Parson were there. 308 jake saved my butt, today, I had a malfunction, on the firing line, and jake helped me out... I thought my shooting day was over, but got the problem corrected... THANK you jake...
