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
the best sporting goods and gun shop in madison aint in madison...
it's Wilderness Fish and Game over in sauk city, in the ace hardware complex...
and it's a short drive, but dead easy to find...
you'll like the place...
Gerry Wakkinen in Waunakee does transfer as well, and is great. I believe Winnequah Gun Club in Lodi has Cowboy action shoots.
I just moved to Madison WI .............
You poor bastid.. You have my prayers and best wishes..
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.
LOL Well' I'm an ultra conservative and I am having difficulty adjusting....Statements from Redneck and Doc are very true.
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.
If your going to go to Sauk and visit
Wilderness Fish and Game , you might want to hit up the
Sauk Prairie gun club , and then stop at
Recobs target shop to reload on supplies.

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

i do like brocach... the original one on the capitol square, or circle, or whatever... great meals, good beers and occasionally someone singing well...
otherwise the night life there consists of watching people walk or bike through the neighborhoods...
and smoky's club is cool, too...
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.

Why on earth did you do that?
sent you a pm...I work in Middleton but head SW about 70 miles when workday is done. Actually Conservatives did pretty well last month and we need more like you come November. Great fishing in area lakes...dodge the bicycle riders...listen to Vicki MeKenna in the afternoon... Hang in there! Bruce
