I can't stress how amazing this place is. It's the best range in central Il, at least to me. It's…read moretrue that membership is a touch on the expensive side ($100 per year + one day of service at the range), but the ranges are well worth it. Indoor range prices are some of the better prices in Il (compared to the $18-20 an hour up north) Darnall's offers $15 per hour for non-members and $12 per hour for members. The Trap and Skeet range are priced very nicely and are very well equipped and maintained. The outdoor range for rifle and pistol isn't anything fantastic, but does go out to 150 yards and is a quiet and clean place to shoot in Il. It's exceedingly hard to find rifle ranges in Illinois. The staff is fantastic. They'll generally cater to your every need (within reason, of course) and have set up the trap range in the dead of winter for me. They also rent guns out (last time I checked it was a S&W M&P auto 9mm, Taurus PT1911 and Ruger MKIII .45/22) for the pistol range. As far as I know they don't allow you to rent rifles and shotguns. Ammo usage is a bit strict on the indoor and will impose a problem on those of us that use combloc ammo. They require brass cases and most combloc ammos are steel cased. Ammo prices there are a bit expensive, as well, but understandable. The ammo they offer is highquality and they have any and all ammo you could ever need. Just be prepared to pay about $2-8 more per box than you do online or at discount stores. I think it's worth the price, though, as you'll never find better service. The selection of guns for sale is fantastic, as well. Any brand you can imagine: they can get their hands on. They can help you out with. They can take care of for you. They even sell Blackpowder and Cowboy action guns for those of us that prefer the oldschool touch. To top it off: they offer topshelf gunsmithing. They seem to know every and any brand of firearm and have parts for them, as well. The gunsmith work is fairly inexpensive and is definitely well worth the price. I highly suggest this range/store/gunsmith to ANY person in the Central Illinois area. Sure, you can buy cheaper ammo. But the question is: can you find better service? You really can't find better service than these folks! Go here, honestly: the best!

Absolutely the worst and rudest FFL I've ever had to deal with. Just refused to send their FFL…read more Had to pick a new FFL for the customer. They are not interested in making money.
