Reasonable cost. Several ranges to choose from, some are pretty busy on the weekends, others you can generally have to yourself. I typically go in the mornings and don't really have to deal with anyone else. Haven't met the range officer yet. Hopefully I have a better experience than others have.

Hello I liked the range and how it was set up . With 10 different outside ranges it was convenient to be able to practice. But due to the Rudeness of the Range officer I have decided that I will not renew. I have informed the membership officer . I am sure that I am not the only one that Greg Crank has been rude and abusive to with out reason.

Very well maintained and operated. One of the last posts states that "they do not support ccw training" at the range, which is true, however, this is not because they don't support training and education, it's because instructors were bringing non member students, and taking up entire ranges, and members couldn't shoot. Know what you're talking about before you post.

For those of us in central Illinois who want to shoot our guns and aren't large land owners or don't "know somebody", this club is one of the few ranges available. The club has grown exponentially since I first joined in 02. Back then it was just 2 ranges. Now there are at least 6 available at any one time. The upper most range is a shotgun only range with several Lincoln traps. The whole range complex is strictly BYOB. (Not beer), but bullets, birds, whatever you need you better bring it. There is no clubhouse or any place to buy shells or targets. It's a self serve place and you are responsible for yourself. The club sponsors 2 gun shows per year that are well attended. The website has a link to the membership app. It's not updated very often. Most people don't concern themselves with the operation of the club, they just use the range and pay their dues. There is no work requirement like some clubs. Though, volunteer opportunities are available.
