I just moved to Madison WI and I was wondering if any of you know of a decent place to do an FFL transfer? Is there any Cowboy Action shoots nearby?
thanks,
BM

Gerry Wakkinen in Waunakee does transfer as well, and is great. I believe Winnequah Gun Club in Lodi has Cowboy action shoots.

Don't know about FFL's in Madison, but there's good gunshops/FFL's all around Madison... Waunakee, Janesville, Columbus, Oconomowoc.
You have at least 3 good cowboy action clubs within an hour of you: Lodi, Oconomowoc, and Ripon. I've shot at 'em all. Check out the SASS website for contact info and schedules.
Madison is a pretty town, but it's liberal as hell. The entitlement attitude and rampant political correctness will make a moderate nuts, never mind a true conservative. Used to be you couldn't even buy hollowpoint pistol ammo in Madison, and I don't know if that's changed. Night life and general entertainment is nonexistent unless you're a college student, in which case you'll have a blast in the student-dominated pubs all over town. Drinking cheap beer to excess and public vomiting are encouraged in these establishments, as in all college towns. There's actually some pretty good fishing in the lakes in town, BTW.

Wilderness Fish & Game in Sauk City is the place to go. Sauk City has a pretty nice trap and skeet range out on the west side of town on Hwy. 12.

I'd say!! Berkeley, CA is a bible-thumping town by comparison...

Ya.............um............I don't think Madison and sporting guns go together, no matter how you slice it.
Be careful who you tell you have guns. It has got be the most liberal city in the midwest. If you hang out on State Street, play your guitar for tips, don't shower or shave, (men and women), have a pet snake and wear sandels year round, you'll fit right in.
