CY Armory was an awesome find for my wife and I! Didn't realize it was there until I happened to be…read morelooking for a different business in the same area on RTE 120. I've been shopping at larger stores and shooting at different ranges before finding CY Armory where asking finding help and asking could be a bit of a challenge. Not here! Brian and Dan were awesome! Very knowledgeable and patient with everything I tossed their way! Brian took his time and helped narrow down an overwhelming selection to what will fit my needs. Thanks for that! I typically plan on "only looking" whenever I stop in but often fail. (Thank God for an understanding wife). That said, I'm very pleased with my purchases and will definitely continue to give my business with CY! As for the range, it's what Brian classifies as "old-school". Nothing fancy but, come on... what do you need other than a safe lane and a target to practice? This checks the box! My wife even likes the hand-crank to send the target out and back rather than the electronic controls. There's always been at least 1 lane ready and waiting whenever I've been there. As a guy, I don't put much emphasis in the bathrooms at a business but my wife really does appreciate a clean and stocked facility which CY has! It was just totally re-done! Husbands all know that it's a drag when you have to leave somewhere that you are having fun only to find your wife a bathroom that's up to her standards. Ugh... Now I can stay as long as I want! (Ha-Ha!) Overall, I'd highly recommend CY Armory to anyone that's new to the sport to the advanced shooter.

Memberships. If you were thinking about doing a membership…read moreat this facility, Do not be lured in by the annual membership. I've done a year and a half and unexpectedly have had to move. I called and asked if they could prorate for the months that have passed and credit me for the balance, But they said that's not possible. Then I asked if I could switch names so the person that was staying back could enjoy the rest of the months without me, And they denied that as well. So if you do decide to do the annual membership, just know that money is officially gone.

Jerome and his training partner were VERY knowledgable of the complicated laws surrounding Illinois' concealed carry law. Jerome takes his training responsibility very seriously and I finished the class with full understanding of the responsibility I now have. I highly recommend Standard Force to anyone needing a firearm instructor that will work with your busy schedule.
