    Has any one heard of this place or know anything about it? Other than the info on their website...anyone have a firsthand experience there?
    I had a friend post up pics of a pretty nice looking range and all he said was that it was in Demotte. After I asked him if this was where he was, he said no, a couple buddies have a farm and built their range. A shame, his pics were nice!

    I did see this the other day in shooting sports. Looks like all Clays, not that that's a bad thing. It sounds like no membership required, can somebody confirm? EDIT: Confirmed, it's right there on the front page of the site. Post

    FYI Metra annouces it's plans for the NATO summit.
    Metra to close some stations, ban food and drink during NATO - Chicago Sun-Times
    The trains WILL not be running for the METRA electric (that runs under the NATO summit area) from the looks of it on Monday.

    The South Shore has not released it's info yet.

    My company is having everyone work from home that Friday and Monday. There are also restrictions about bags and such you can carry on the train. They are making it as much of a PITA as possible to have to go downtown.

    They should hold these out in the mountains somewhere away from everyone. Not in the middle of a major city.

    Oakwood is like 5 minutes from my house, and prolly the best shotgun place there is.

    F******** da! They should do these via video conferencing like the rest of the world (biz and .gov) does to save on cost! BTW did you see that the President of Russia called and said he was NOT going to attend. He is sending just a rep instead.
