llowa Irregulars and the Milan Rifle Club are pleased to offer an exciting long-range shooting competition – the Long-Range Buffalo Shoot. As you can see by the images below, the Milan Rifle Club offers a picturesque and beautiful range that is perfect backdrop for this sport – a herd of 33 Buffalo graving on a grassy field. We’re also one of the few clubs using reactive targets – reactive in the sense that the Buffalo targets fall over when hit.
To give a sense of what to expect watch this short video taken during our May 2023 Buffalo Shoot by clicking on the video below.
We schedule three shoots each year, a Spring shoot in May, a Summer shoot in July or August, and a Fall shoot in October.
Our 2026 match dates are:
- Saturday, May 16, 2026;
- Sunday, August 30, 2026; and,
- Saturday, October 17, 2025.
