New Wisconsin Long Range Shooting Facility

[Bad weather]

Dear Wisconsin Shooters,
I am thinking about opening a new range that would reach out to 1.5 miles. I am deeply disappointed that we Wisconsin residents have only one place to shoot long range. Further more this range would be open to the public, no $300 member fee or waiting list required, and would include a 50 yard range, a 100 yard range and a pistol range. This range would be located somewhere near Freedom, WI, for those of you who are unfamiliar, right in between Appleton and Green Bay.
Now I am aware there is not much need for this type of facility as the hunting community usually does not take shots this long. However, I feel like there are many people who would attend classes and would like to learn how to shoot at greater distances if they knew how and had the place to practice.
In addition I would open a shop for you to buy primers, brass, powder, bipod and all the necessary equipment. We would also have our own competitions for whoever would like to participate with quality prizes given to the winner.
However good this may sound to you, I am not going to open if there is little response. I am not in the business of throwing money down the toilet. So if you live in Wisconsin, or in surrounding states and would be willing to travel, please leave a comment yes or no, why or why not, if if you have any good ideas please let me know. Thank you for your most valuable time and consideration.

That would be fantastic I would definitely be there weekly

If you need help I would be there. I am a CCW instructor and own a tactical pistol range with 13 steel human nock down targets and 3running human targets. I small cabin for home invasion scenarios. A store front set for being attacked on the street scenarios. I have 13 steel gongs set up under hunting style shooting. Such as out of tree stands off hills etc. I don't have long range only out to 190 yards but good practice for whitetail hunting. I am in Fort Atkinson Wisconsin. If I can help let me know.

I find it interesting the OP hasn't responded. This is clearly a dead idea and link. Sadly.

Just what I was looking for. I shoot 600 and 1,000 regularly.
2084 is my longest shot. Willing to help. I have been teaching the Long Range Shooting Class at CSA for about 10 years.

No response from the original poster for quite some time. Unfortunately I think this idea is dead.
Maybe an Admin could lock or archive this post?

I'm interested. I've been shooting 1,000 yds and would be interested in a range this close to me. Hopefully the range would face due North. I have been having vision issues and where I shoot now faces South. It's like looking through a dirty window.

I as well four other guys I shoot with Would undoubtedly use your range regardless of what you would need to charge.

There are at lease 4 of us that would come as a group when it is ready. Please let every one know when the range will be open! Very exciting!
