ASC and Indiana MG are two that you can actually get into. Polo puts on great matches, but good luck getting in. When registration opens, there's usually less than 10-15 spots available and they literally sell out in seconds.
The only other club is Oak Park Sportsman's Club. I believe their matches are on the fifth Sunday of the months that have a fifth Sunday. All bay style matches there, where the longest distance is 25 yards. Some good technical stage designs though.
Indiana MG has matches almost every weekend if you're willing to drive. The two closest clubs they host matches at to the Chicago area are Porter County Conservation Club, and Bend of the River Conservation Club in Michigan. The rest are south in Indiana and too far for me to drive for a club match.
ASC puts on really good matches, and they have longer range stages. They'll have a 200 yard stage, along with a 600 yard stage. On the 600, the longest I've had to shoot was 505 yards. Lots of fun, and they'll make you run. There were some stages last year where after running the stage I felt like I was going to die lol.
I haven't started exploring the Wisconsin matches yet, and I'm assuming there are a lot up there.
Sorry for the naive question, what is ASC? Also, since I am new at starting at this sport and I'm no expert super fast marksman I just want to start slow and work my way up. Sure I have experience due to my military combat experience and service and also law enforcement background but that's totally a different aspects. I have already invested on an STI pistol "Marauder, Stoeger M3K and an Armalite 3 gun rifle, all these guns are being custom tuned to my liking by my gunsmith... I have to admit that this is not a cheap sport, lol~
