Default Anyone shooting Parkers and SxS in Illinois?

Is there any group or people who enjoy shooting their Parkers or other vintage SxS guns in northern Illinois? If yes, where do you meet and shoot? I would love to join such a group. Thank you in advance.

We just had a vintage shoot at the Rockford Skeet and Trap club. We are always shooting our Parkers and L.C. Smiths and even a few Foxes. We shoot trap, skeet and sporting clays. Email me and I will get you all the info. Frank

I was a 18 year member of Northbrook Sportsman club in Hainesville and regularly exercised my Parkers. Moved to Alabama last year but there are other Parker shooters there. Join the club and just show up with a SxS, you'll make friends. I met and spoke with Ed Murderlak there at a vintage event in 2005. Very good facility easily top 10.

Northbrook in my mind is in the top 3 in the country. I have shot all over and I love Northbrook. Brett know how to run a club.

Most facilities don't compare to Northbrook. Unfortunately the IL DOT and the EPA decided to screw with the club and caused a lot of money to be spent on nothing.
