Yesterday, my buddy Dave and I took our families up to McMiller Sports Center for the day. McMiller has been opened to the public since 1978 and features three dedicated rifle (25, 50, and 100/300 yards), pistol (6-25 yards), and shotgun ranges (10-50 yards, novice trap, and sport clays course).
Dave brought up his collection of WWII era rifles including an M1 Carbine and Enfield Mk1 – both vintage 1944. I got a chance to shoot both and I was surprised how accurate they were. I especially like the M1 and could have shot that all day given unlimited time (and funds).
Of course, we also shot more modern rifles like the AR-15 and Ruger 10/22.
Shooting an AR-15
We had a great time at McMiller. It’s an older facility but the staff was friendly and did a great job making us feel welcome. Intervals were 15 minutes long. At each range, the range officer took the time to explain the rules and made sure they were enforced at all times. Our all-day passes were reasonably priced at $22 for adults and $11 for juniors.
McMiller Sports Center is located in Eagle Wisconsin, which is roughly a two-hour drive from Chicagoland area.
