LOL Tell them south of I-70,it'll make it easier on the Yankees to find it on the map.

Looks like someone would get something going at that range in Sparta.

Highland or somewhere around there had old mil rifle shoots last year I don't know if there still doing them. Saw the info on a flyer at the Belleville show.

In case you have not seen it, here is a link to the Illinois State Rifle Assoc (ISRA) Ten-State Highpower Rifle Schedule.

http://www.illinoishighpower.org/10-...2011-05-24.pdf

If the link doesn't work run a search for ISRA ten state schedule.

They put one of these out every spring.

And its not just for the folks north of Interstate 80.
