Did you tell me the other day that you shot long range BP before, where is there a range in Wisconsin, I bought a Pedrocelli Gibbs 451 and eventually would like to shoot it long range. I know that there is a 300 yd range at McMiller but that about the longest that I know of. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cowboy1.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cowboy1:' /> <br />

ISRA has a range in Kankakee that has a 300 yard segment. Racine I believe has a 600 yard range but you have to be a member. However, the Black Buffalo meets shoot at those kinds of distances at various places around here I believe - it's where DD used to shoot long range BP. Look at those on the schedule on the website ?Want to pretend to be artillery, huh. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pokey.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':pokey:' />

In addition to the above, Oconomowoc has a 300 yard range and Big Grit has regular side matches there after every cowboy shoot. I started the Black Buffalo a few years back at Racine although John Newgent now runs it. They shoot about 3 times per year at either 500 or 600 yards. Lodi has a 1200 yard range and Ernie Stallman of Badger Barrels runs a 800, 900, 1000 yard black powder match there twice a year - Mother's Day weekend and September.<br />

One of the fun things at Oconomowoc is a weekly 300 yard .22 rifle buffalo league. I've been shooting that for the last few years.

D.D., the .22 buffalo league; is it only period correct (cowboy-type) rifles or is there a modern class?<br />
I have a Henry Golden Boy and a Volquartsen 10/22 with a scope.<br />

I agree, but it could be worse. How would you like it if they put your face up on the da-- thing?

Most any .22 long rifle with or without scope. Full information here.<br />
