Please plan to sign in early in case we are running ahead of schedule.
The tests are on the West Grounds of the Des Plaines SFWA.
From I 55 exit on North River Road, then turn right (southwest). Continue past the trap ranges and over the railroad tracks. The test grounds will be on your right, just before Blodgett Road.
A few notes for the weekend:
We plan on hitting the field beginning with the master braces at 8:00 each morning.
Lunch will be available for purchase on the grounds. Your support is appreciated.
We will be ordering pizza for Saturday night. Everyone is welcome to bring a side dish or dessert to share.
As a courtesy to others please do not air your dogs off lead anywhere on the hunting test grounds.
Camping is available on the grounds for $8 per night. Reservations are not required.
The running orders may be modified due to entries pulling or advancing to another level. Please allow time to accommodate any last-minute changes.
Extra birds may be available for purchase toward the end of Sunday’s test. Check with a hunting test committee member for information.
Upon conclusion of the tests on Sunday afternoon, the fields will be available at the test committee’s discretion to GSPCI members and volunteers.
