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 to 36 Buffalo grazing 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. There is more information on Buffalo Match Description page.
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, 2026.
