All or most are ex-military and are some of the best people I have met. I first heard about AS from some friends that were upset about them purchasing a 4-wheeling park and not allowing it anymore. I really didn't care because I am not into it but either way its a none issue now. After hearing about them I had seen the TV show Stars Earn Stripes with Grady Powell and the Late Chris Kyle and Ultimate survival Alaska with Grady and Jared Ogden. I for sure was amazed at how cool thee guys were and while looking up Info about A.S. I realized that Grady and Jared worked there. (I think Jared has moved on to further his career elsewhere) Needless to say I have been jonesin to take a class for some time. I had found out about an open house they had and went with My wife. It was crazy cool and seeing these guys in action was incredible. I am hearing that there were 600+ people there and this year they expect more than 800. I am so excited to see them succeeding. My wife bought a Groupon deal for a Navy SEAL training experience and I was able to use it this last month. And all I can say it I am not sure what I was expecting. John the main trainer for this 8 hour course was incredible. He made it clear that we were there to learn a skill and he wanted us to be comfortable and able to ask questions and not feel like he was talking down to us in a drill instructor way. The class got rained out twice so I was unable to finish it but I did complete about 6 hours worth of the class. They were quick to give out vouchers to come back and take the class over again or a different same level course. I was kind of shocked. If you want to learn more about Rifles, Pistols, and survival training look into this place as they are very skilled and knowledgeable and I think you will learn some great things. I know I did. From how to draw from a holster and hit my target every time without having all the old hang-ups I used to was incredible and knowing how to defend your home from invasion, it all really got my wheels turning on how to improve my ability to protect my family and stay in the fight. I am not sure of the exact facilities but I know they have multiple short ranges as well as a "Kill house" and a Long 1000 meter range along with other training facilities. They also have discounts for Military and Police so I would for sure take advantage if you are one of the few. Thanks guys.

The staff is all very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I learned about this place through a family member who lives near asymmetrical solutions and I come from California to train with them. I got a gift certificate for Christmas and I'm planning another trip. So if you want to have fun and become better with firearms this is the place.

And be sure you're insured because the ground by the rifle seating is covered with wood planks that you will for sure trip on. Don't recommend this place to anyone over 60 or with disabilities. If you have a disability you will not be able to access the rifle range at all. He finally laid gravel down by where you would park after years of parking and walking on clay. His gate to the range is archaic. If you're handicapped you won't be able to open the gate at all. You push a code in it unlocks the chained gate but you have to manually pull on a gate with a wheel on it across gravel so you can drive in. Worry about your safety because with the gate unlocked anyone can drive in while you are there. Not a safe range for women wanting to shoot by themselves. No Range Safety Officers on duty, it's completely unstaffed. Not safe range by NRA standards.

Full club house with bar and kitchen including twice monthly Friday fish frys, 6 Trap fields (open to the public), 2 stocked fishing lakes, brand new 20-lane covered rifle/pistol range (members and guests only), archery and a pro shop--ALL for the astoundingly low membership dues of $125 a year, family included. Need I say more? Okay, let me mention that the Thursday League Night burgers, fries and deep-fried mushrooms are delicious! EGC has the claim of being the oldest continuously chartered gun club in the USA (since 1879). Whether there's a private club somewhere in the original 13 colonies that can beat that claim, I'm not sure, nor do I care. EGC has none of the pretentiousness that usually accompanies a "private club". In fact, they welcome the public on weekends and guests of members are always welcome. A "round" of trap costs about $5 for non-members which includes your 25 clay birdies. Ammo available for sale or bring your own--(shot heavier than 7.5 prohibited). Hours: Saturday: Noon - 5 p.m. fun shooting open to the public Sunday: Noon - 5 p.m. fun shooting open to the public Thursday: 10 a.m. - 10 p.m -- League competition on Thursdays begins @ 7 p.m. (year-round) All other time, you are welcome to use the two lakes for fishing. There is an additional $20 per year fee if you're using non-powered boat. Membership gets you a key to the front gate which allows you to fish on any non-shooting day at your leisure (license required). Please lock the gate behind you when you enter! Honestly, you wouldn't believe all the amenities this club offers, so please check it out for yourselves: http://edwardsvillegunclub.org/ Whether you're a fan of the shooting sports, a beginner, novice, seasoned pro, or just curious, EGC offers fun, fellowship, family atmosphere and great eats!
