I live just outside of Bloomington. I can give you the scoop if you need. Potts town is a good fun shoot to hit on the weekends. I think Pekin has a trad shoot once a year (I think). My club(Lexington Sportsman Club) has a shoot the 3rd weekend of every month startin in March.
There is also a club in Streator that has alot of trad shooters at there 3d events.
Let me know when you get here and I will help you out.
BTW, I can give u the low down on public ground too. So you at least have a place to go check out and hunt.

J.D. you will have to try shooting the asian carp with your bow on the illinois river. Me and a group of budys went this summer it is a blast. You will get in all the shooting you want thats for sure.

That is alot of fun! I have been a couple times myself, and one of the best spots is literally right downtown!

JD,, A friend reported a 185in was killed last week in the Peoria area. My son lives in that area. You may have to work to find a quality place to hunt but they are there. Welcome to Illinois.
