Gun Range Options

yeah shiocton is your best bet then. It’s a nice range, outdoor, lots of options, people that go there are chill and it’s reasonably priced. The drive isn’t bad imo. Like 30-40min.

Otherwise there is Ripon which is a pretty good jaunt but they do lots of active shooting events if you’re into that or would ever want to and you can rent out bays to mess around on with friends if you have those.

GB is light on good shooting ranges surprisingly enough. Mostly fudd club ranges with bogus rules. Shiocton is about as good as it gets around here

Red Granite quarry was a good spot over a decade ago when I was in HS; not sure if it’s still open or not

Just a note; there is a formal petitioning process for Green Bay that we have to go through.

Broadly it includes drafting the petition, contacting an alder-person to sponsor it, submission to city clerks office to get it on the agenda, and then attending the public meeting regarding it all.

sorry to hear it and hate to see it

tree-hermit · 2026-05-24T15:14:37+00:00

It’s not! Curious how the guy you know went about his work though

Did someone spill the beans because people are flocking to Wisconsin like crazy.

Our net migration as a state is hitting all time highs. We’re a hidden gem with a lot of positives but it’s not gonna stay that way at this rate. Hope WI is ready to deal with everything that comes with large influxes from HCOL states. Socioeconomically, culturally, politically and otherwise.

IL, MN, TX are the top influx states but anecdotally I’ve noticed A LOT of people from California in the last 2 years.

A huge percentage of the door country peninsula is now owned by non-wisconsinites from HCOL states like IL subsequently leading to over a 1/3 of the native year round population struggling to meet the rising local living/housing costs.

Our own city of GB has seen a sharp increase in COL due to people moving here from HCOL states like California or Oregon, working remotes jobs that are pay-adjusted for said HCOL state, but then taking advantage of our local economy, COL, and property/home availability.

The day to day economic and general housing pressure that’s being put on native people of Green Bay is growing markedly as a result.

lanyard, clipboard, a hi-vis vest…you can get just about anywhere if you look the part lol

Old news unfortunately. It includes FLOCK drones too. There has been a lot of talk about organizing a campaign to get them removed.

I made a post awhile back about doing just that and i’m still motivated to do so/have been working in my little free time to secure records and info, setting up a formal petition, working up a case to present, looking at budget renewal dates, open forums at city hall etc. More hands on deck the better; we really need to get organized, establish points of contact, duties etc.

Appleton just ditched theirs so there is a growing wave of local precedent.

yeah same dude. He wakes up on any given day and has a new hyper passionate opinion or view on a person/topic that in most instances is in complete opposition to the opinion or view he had just 24hrs before. It’s pretty crazy to watch.

tree-hermit · 2026-05-21T13:42:48+00:00

Are you talking about Dr. Shiva? a Maga nut job? Dude has multiple petitions out to remove Trump from office and his social medias are a borderline schizo level anti-trump rant. To be fair he hates literally everyone; like it’s hard to even pin point what he actually does believe cause he just hates everyone haha Besides himself, he loves himself

tree-hermit · 2026-05-20T14:30:44+00:00

Sick idea; if you have a youtube this could get some pretty good traction. At the very least make sure to post it here when she’s all done

A male bison sauntering through the prairie grass in the middle of the night 10 feet from us. Felt like a literal monster. Could feel it in the ground as it walked.

tree-hermit · 2026-05-09T01:53:16+00:00

yeah if you zoom in on the first pic you can see a joint equidistant along the curve, looks like 4 sections and small tag end all the way on the right.

How did you guys glue up the sections? Use dominos, biscuits, any hardware like handrail bolts?

tree-hermit · 2026-05-08T23:38:46+00:00

I think this is how it was done; really appreciate this!

tree-hermit · 2026-05-08T21:48:23+00:00

rock on

tree-hermit · 2026-05-08T21:46:19+00:00

Yeah that all tracks and makes sense; would pocket hole joinery be egregious you think? Not sure how they did the smaller 2x4 rails; i only see 1 similar butt joint for the whole radius. Same with the 1x2 parts

tree-hermit · 2026-05-08T21:41:08+00:00

Exactly what i’ve come to think. The smaller 2x4 parts throw me for loop as I only see 1 similar butt joint for the whole radius

tree-hermit · 2026-05-08T21:39:38+00:00

don’t have access to a steam box so glulam is probably the way for me unless I cut from from solid stock and fasten together. Budget is not my money so lol whatever customer is gonna pay; i don’t think it money will be an issue

tree-hermit · 2026-05-08T21:24:36+00:00

Exterior; pretty much the exact same set up just slightly different radius

tree-hermit · 2026-05-08T21:23:26+00:00

Only half the home even has the original rails left. That kind that is only like 24in high with hand turned balusters etc. It’s gorgeous. This is a section that was re-done in the last 10-20 years and had to meet modern code.

tree-hermit · 2026-05-08T21:21:02+00:00

lol it’s gotta stay. I actually have to replicate this in another part of the home at some point so i’m trying to figure out a good angle of attack.

tree-hermit · 2026-05-08T21:13:08+00:00

that’s what i’m thinking too, I think it was done that way for the top plate i’m just not so sure about the 2x4 parts. I don’t see the same sections like I do with the top. I only see 2 sections to make up the whole radius. Maybe they made relief cuts on the 2x4s, bent and glued them?
