GAF muster Saturday, August 29th, 2020
The fall Division of Illinois GAF (Grand Army of the Frontier) muster is scheduled for Saturday. I highly recommend these musters for shooting fun. If you are unfamiliar with the GAF, but you shoot at SASS or NCOWS matches, just wear your match duds and bring your rifle and a pistol. There usually is a blend of steel targets and paper targets, and I recommend that you bring some extra ammo because it's not shoot and hit or miss, it's shoot until you hit it.
More info about the GAF and musters can be found at:
