where to shoot/hunt

[tnlonghunter]

I'm moving to Ypsilanti in about a week and was wondering if there are any places in the area to shoot my .50 flintlock or to hunt. Also looking for a good shop. My in-laws live in Midland, so if there's anywhere up around there to shoot or hunt, that would be nice to know also. Thanks y'all.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to also mention that Ypsilanti and Midland are in Michigan, though I imagine most of y'all who would be able to answer my question would already know that. OOPS

If you are wanting to join a club, there are a couple good ones not too far away. Go to[url] kalamazooshows.com[/url] and download the state shoot schedule. Leaf through it and contact some of the shoot sponsors, they can give you info on their clubs. Washtinaw and Western Wayne (WWCCA.com) are the two closest I can think of, then Lansing after that. There is a shop in lansing the carries muzzleloading stuff, I'm not familiar with them though. I go to Kenokee Trading Post in Port Huron, Anson & Judy are great people. When you're at the Kalamazoo web site, check out the show dates, it's a biggie. Give me a shout if I can be of any further help.

If you're just looking for somewhere to shoot that isn't too far, there's the DNR Sharon Hollow range out near Manchester--that's where I go sometimes and have since I lived in Ypsi. Lot of good state land to hunt out in Washtenaw County as well, lots of game. Get a DNR map of the land.

We can keep you in shoots for a while. Freeland rendezvous is weekend after this one, LMLGC in Lansing has their open shoot Labor Day weekend, Child's Place rendezvous September 17-18...etc etc...

Shops: Classic Arms in Lansing, Shupachs in Jackson (they sell powder at least). Depends on what you're looking for.
