The Division of Illinois is proud to announce there will be two state musters in 2013. Two locations will be utilized, Tri-County Gun Club in Polo, IL on 31 August 2013 and GGP-Dry Gulch Ranch in Winnebago, IL on 29 September 2013.

Special events at each muster will be as follows:
August Muster will include an artillery demonstration. 
September Muster will include the opportunity to live fire a Gatling gun.

If you have questions get a hold of me at shamrockgannon@live.com or 217/722-8512
Gun carts will be allowed at this muster because there are no provisions for stacking firearms. Hearing protection and side shields/wrap around safety glasses are required for anyone on the range. SASS safety rules will apply. The muster is shot with a rifle and one pistol. Bring a second revolver, because it will be required for one stage. Pistols will be shot "dualist." Uniforms not required. SASS legal pistols and rifles .38 caliber and larger can be utilized. Categories based on GAF Battle rifle standards.

Pre-registration isn't required but appreciated by the Mess Sergeant so the amount of food needed can be determined for the noon mess(lunch).

Registration at 0800 – Safety Meeting at 0845 – Muster begins at 0900 – Lunch at 1230

OUTSTANDING!

I wish I could join you!

[Drydock]

Dangit!  Gotta work both those weekends, and I'm out of vacation!

[G.W. Strong]

The first Illinois Muster is tomorrow in Polo, IL

Come join us,

We have artillery!

[pony express]

Still have plenty of vacation, but no extra cash for another trip this year! Fortunately, Garnett is close enough not to really considerate a "trip", so I CAN make that. Was hoping to get in at least one of the Ill Musters, though. Oh, well, maybe next year!

[G.W. Strong]

Today's muster had a pair of full size cannons firing. We had a mountain howitzer and a parrot. It was spectacular!

[Shamrock]

The Theme of the Sept. IL Muster will focus on the advances in firearms technology during the Civil War.
In honor of that we will be adding classes  for the Henry and Spencer rifles.
Regards.
Lt. Col. Pat "Shamrock" Gannon

[G.W. Strong]

The second Illinois muster will be this Sunday in Rockford Illinois. Come out and shoot the gatling gun.
