Since I did not see a place to post this in forums I thought I would put it here due to the time of year it is and all.

Has anyone heard about what is going on at the new shooting range in Sparta, IL? I saw a bit on the news the other night concerning the Trap Shooting association that is there is pulling out and not going to deal with it. It led me to believe something criminal went on and no one wants to own up to it.

Just curious.

Huh? I haven't seen anything about it. I was there for the Kaskaskia DU dinner, and it is a heck of a facility. I would like to go check the sporting clays courses out sometime. They are also supposed to get 3D archery ranges. I'm not sure if they are in yet? I also heard on the radio, they have a bluegrass jam out there on Thurs. nights. Cool part is, it only takes about 10 minutes for me to get there...:)

Found your article.

Looks like it is an ATA issue, not a state issue. They are seperate entities. IL Owns the complex, and the ATA has to run all it's events there for 10 years. I get from the article that the ATA doesn't have the funds to maintain a permanent office at WSC. I don't think we'll see an impact.
