Bring you guns and get shooting!

Could be for deer season, or rebuilding the range, all needed, but there is no way to find out until you pull in the driveway. Once they had a sign up saying they were going to open an hour late. There were over twenty people waiting, and we were some of the last to leave, two an a half hours later. They have no website or working telephone. They explained that the phone is for calling out in an emergency. There isn't any way to contact them. The last time I was there, the gates open at11:30 and shooting starts at 12:00 and goes to 4:00 PM. Between 11:30 and 12:00, the range master explains the safety rules. The charge was $10.00 for the day and teens under eighteen were free with a FOID card holder supervision. The only drawback was the lack of communication!

A brief explanation on how I came to Top Shot Academy when I decided to take the CCL class…read more I began this journey by looking in Google maps for a CCL instructor/class that was near where I lived. I found one eight blocks from me. Problem: they closed their business and told no one. Next, I looked again for a close proximity instructor/class. Found one who was an "attorney" (that's what I was told). Made the date for the class, we agreed that I would take the Metra out to his location and he would pick me. Got on the train in the city and went out to his Metra stop. He was a no-show - got stood up. SOOOO, having finally learning my lesson, I looked on Yelp for a reputable 5-star rating CCL instructor. Top Shot Academy and instructor Chip Eberhart. Taking Chip's class was unbelievably thorough and so complete with regard to every detail, well, I'll say I plan to never loose touch with this remarkable guy and Top Shot Academy ! His experience and continuing ongoing firearm education (including and great wit and sense of humor - can I say that ?) makes him a paragon of his profession ! Alan

But $75 for an FFL transfer is just wild. I understand it's not a main part of their business, but that's ridiculous.

The place has a lot going on in there, including classes. There are a lot of things on site at that facility beyond just the ranges themselves. The owner and the people at the cash register were very nice. It really is a good place. The only downside I guess I would say is the rangemaster is just a little flaky. I'm a highly trained military shooter with over 50 years of experience. The rangemaster did enforce safety but he does have some quirks so just put up with it. The main entry area oriented around retail and check-in is well managed and they have some pretty nice music playing the background, old school. The rangemaster has his own taste in music blasting in the range. In fact, that music is louder than the bullets in some cases. His taste in music doesn't suit mine but beyond that I just don't think it's appropriate for the range because of its super heavy bass blast and continually, overshadowing the sound of the rounds. This shouldn't be the place where you're thinking about your "dance moves" and your clubbing/dating strategies! It's about shooting. Sure, play some music but the music shouldn't be competing with the reason we are showing up in the first place. Keep the "disco" at the disco! If You can clean that up, this would arguably be one of the best ranges around.

They have a guy there that also is NRA and conceal and carry licensed that gives lessons. You can shoot pistols or shotguns (separate area) and on the other side they have skeet shooting. The range is outdoors so dress warm for the winter. I think they are only open on Saturday and Sunday until April, but double check. It is a totally safety conscience range and they have time limits when the range is hot (everyone firing) green light, or red light, everyone guns down and step away while targets are being changed out. They sell targets if you forget yours and also chamber locks that you put in during the red light target change time. Love this place and they are all about the Second Amendment!
