I had taken a few years off from shooting. But I got the itch again and shook off the dust at another range. Recently decided to start shopping for another firearm. I stopped by Maxon's as they had the 3 handguns in stock that I've been considering. While I did not purchase anything, Luis was extremely helpful, and knew his stuff. He was super friendly and patient with me as well. I really appreciated his relaxed, friendly attitude. Something you don't find too often in this scene. Their prices are a little high, but I think the employees make it worth it. I'll be back to use their range, and post an update if there are any issues. Minus 1 star for the price of their CC qualification target. $3. Ouch. The other range I go to in East Dundee sells them for ¢75.

But $75 for an FFL transfer is just wild. I understand it's not a main part of their business, but that's ridiculous. They do have access to a lot of firearms for rental, even full-auto (just for fun) which is a plus if you're shopping (but buy elsewhere and use the guy in Arlington Heights on Central for your FFL transfer for half the price).

I've been going to this range since the month they opened their doors, and I happily keep going back! This is the epitome of what a "clean range" should be. It has the best HEPA filters in the ranges and it never smells of powder. The employees are all so very nice and helpful, usually with a does of comedic relief. Shooting there is like going to a friend's home to shoot. They make all their customers feel welcomed, rather than some ranges (on Rt 30?) where everyone seems to have an attitude of being better than you and that you're inconveniencing them at their place of work. NOT HERE - YOU ARE ALWAYS MADE TO FEEL WELCOMED AND APPRECIATED AS A CUSTOMER! ALWAYS! While I've been shooting for over 50 years, I recently took a private lesson from Mark Longo to break a bad habit of (like many!) anticipating the shot and shooting low-left. WHAT AN AMAZING INSTRUCTOR! Mark was able to zero in on several bad habits I had developed over the years, and taught me how to correct them as well as practicing drills to continue to fix and internalize them at home. I was always a "decent" shot, but in only one lesson I absolutely improved. I will be joining their club as Mark Longo got me excited to shoot again, because of the progress I immediately noticed. I just want to continue to get better, and I've found no other range that comes close to helping me achieve this. This range rocks! "Uncle Steve" Bloome

Had to call the guys at the desk to sweep up the brass. One of the cheaper ranges for a reason. But I want to discuss their sales. As we know, IL has a 15rd magazine limit for pistols. In spite of this, and regardless of your feelings, they completely ignore it and have a ton of handguns with 18+ magazines for sale. Now we all know all the cops that frequent this place off-duty, and GAT feels like they can just skirt the rules. The problem is, if you're caught, they won't be held responsible at all. I pitty the poor new owner that is unaware of this restriction and suffers consequences. Used firearms appraisals? Forget it. Their offers are straight up insulting. Even Cabela's does better. They offered me 2x what GAT did without hesitation. Their ammo shelves are pretty bare too.

I had been a loyal member of Range USA since before the company even changed its name. I was a…read moremember in good standing, with my credit card on file and automatically charged each month for my membership. When I learned that I needed surgery, I went to the range and specifically told the employees at the front desk that I needed to cancel my membership because I would be unable to walk properly--or visit the range--for at least three to four months while recovering. I also sent an email to Range USA Corporate explaining that I was having surgery, would be out for an extended period, and wanted my membership canceled. Three months later, after recovering enough to get around again, I returned to the range with a very important client who had been looking forward to going shooting with me. Imagine my embarrassment when, standing there with my client, I was informed that I had been "red flagged" and was barred from ALL Range USA locations. I was stunned. I asked what "red flagged" meant and what I had possibly done to warrant being banned. No one at the range could--or would--give me an explanation. I was simply told to contact Range USA Corporate. So I did. After FIVE emails asking what I had done to deserve being suspended, I finally received a response stating that I had too many "chargebacks." Chargebacks? I didn't even know what they were referring to. There is an important part of this story that apparently no one at Range USA bothered to investigate. While I was at home recovering from surgery, someone obtained my credit card information and began making fraudulent charges. My credit card company contacted me about the suspicious activity and immediately canceled the card. Of course they did--that is exactly what any responsible credit card company should do when fraud is suspected. Apparently, however, Range USA continued attempting to charge that canceled card. When those charges didn't go through, instead of contacting a longtime customer and simply saying, "Fred, we're having a problem processing your card. Can you please provide us with updated payment information?" Range USA apparently decided that banning me from every one of its locations was the appropriate response. When I contacted my credit card company and asked about the "chargebacks" Range USA claimed were the problem, they could not explain what Range USA was referring to. I returned to the range hoping someone could help me resolve the situation, but once again I was told that I had to deal with Corporate. My subsequent communications with Corporate were short, abrupt, and offered virtually no meaningful explanation or opportunity to resolve what appears to be a simple misunderstanding. The message I ultimately received was essentially that the decision was final and that I was banned for life. I am still shocked by the way this was handled. I had been a good and loyal customer for more than a year. I had never caused a problem at the range and had never been told of any issue with my membership or conduct. I canceled my membership because I was undergoing surgery--not because of any dispute with Range USA. Then, while I was recovering, my credit card was compromised and canceled for legitimate security reasons. If Range USA believed money was owed, why didn't someone simply contact me? A phone call or email saying, "We attempted to process your card and it was declined; please contact us with updated payment information," could have resolved this entire situation in minutes. Instead, a longtime customer was apparently labeled, embarrassed in front of a client, barred from every Range USA location, and given little opportunity to explain what actually happened. I am extremely disappointed in the way Range USA handled this matter. More than anything, I am disappointed that no one seemed willing to listen, investigate the circumstances, or give a loyal customer the courtesy of a reasonable explanation. I sincerely hope I am the only customer who has experienced something like this. A company should certainly protect itself from legitimate payment disputes, but it should also make a reasonable effort to distinguish between someone intentionally refusing to pay and a longtime customer whose credit card was canceled because it had been compromised. Those are two very different situations, and customers deserve to be treated accordingly. Fred Pfeifer 847-452-9075 fredp@manfredgroup.com

Part of that is because it can be a bit intimidating entering this kind of environment while you're still building up your confidence. Until I found Shore Galleries! I've been to ranges where asking questions is treated as ignorance rather than a desire to learn. I had the opposite experience here. Upon passing off my FOID card and while filling out my waiver, the gentleman behind the counter managed to strike up a conversation and had us chatting like old buddies in just a few minutes long interaction. I immediately felt welcome and at ease. My friend and I came in on a Sunday afternoon and after browsing the downstairs shop for a few minutes, we were given a stall in the upstairs range. The range is smaller than some others I've been to, and plenty of other patrons wandered in and out while we were there, but it wasn't overly crowded and we didn't have to wait. A full hour in the range and 6 targets purchased ran us a very reasonable $50 for the two of us to share a lane. They have a solid variety available for rent, though we brought our own equipment so I can't speak to pricing on rentals or ammo. There are no ranges in Chicago proper, but from Lakeview to Lincoln Wood the trek felt very reasonable and well worth the short drive! I will definitely be returning here, and am so excited that I found a place I can comfortably learn, practice, and grow.
