The ASC ( Aurora Sportsman Club, located in Waterman 'bout 65miles west of Chicago ) Has a 200 & 600yd Range. Not to mention the basic 25ft, 50 & 100yds.
Membership is failry pricey, but YEAR round shooting.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: George63</div><div class="ubbcode-body">what is the yearly fee at youngs </div></div>
$300 or so the first year, $200 or so yearly thereafter (single membership, family deal is like +$100 more). They been tuning things up a bit here lately and also added some additional targets at 700 and 1k. Can bring non-shooters to observe/hang out, like $30 for non members to shoot for the day w/ pre-approval from the boss lady.
Hey guys
Wanted to put the word out that the afore mentioned ASC [Aurora Sportsman CLub] is having our 2nd annual ZOMBIE SHOOT, on OCT 23. At the facility, located in Waterman, IL.
Also I am looking to put together a Tactical Precision Rifle Couse, a fun shoot. Nothing all to serious, just a day to reach out on the 600ydr, possibly a "stress" shoot
Thanks for the post TANGO2072. I'm hoping I can make it out to the Zombie Shoot. I would also be interested in the Tactical Precision Rifle shoot, let us know when you have more info.

Out in Big Rock just east of Waterman and just west of Aurora. Would love to do a precision course at ASC. Going to the Zombie shoot.
SO....
anyone of yall make it out to the ZOMBIE shoot ? ?
I was the RSO on the "highway to hell" Course. The 100yd Steel target head shots ?
Also the Board has approved my plans for the Tactical Precision Rifle Course. No intended date as of yet. I am looking to put together a "TEST GROUP" of ONLY ASC members to make sure the CoF works.
But for those on here that shoot Practical Rifle stuff.
I am hosting the NOV 27th (SAT) ASC Practical Rifle course.
open to the public 20$ for NON-ASC members.
if interested in attending please PM me. and I'll provide you with any kinda of info you need.
