 September 30th, 1:30-5pm 

Once again, we will be hosting our Fall Picnic and Parent Outing at one of the premier shooting ranges in northern Illinois. The Aurora Sportsman’s Club has top-notch facilities and offers something for everyone in shooting sports. Everyone who attended last year had a great time and came away with a smile on their face.

The event is FREE for all that want to attend and enjoy the usual potluck picnic and fellowship. We will also offer ballistic activities for a small fee to cover the cost of ammunition for anyone interested in shooting semi-auto pistols, rifles, and shotguns.
