I moved here almost 3 years ago and I have only found 3 ranges in my area, Illinois gun works, bells, and gunworld. 2 of them are not open.  I am off this weekend and I was looking forward to shooting my rifle I built over the winter. I am now seeing that there is nowhere to shoot it. Anyone know of a few rifle ranges?

thanks,
Dan

Whereabouts do you live? When the weather warms up there is Buffalo Range out west and there is GAT Guns in Kane County and Rinks in Lockport.

I did click the link and most ranges on there are private.  I guess I will try to get off on the 28th to go to the pit. if not there is always next year. Also we are trying to find a range where we can shoot rifles.

I find the same problem.  It seems there's only the pit around northern IL.  We need a good long rifle range up here!

Wisconsin - McMiller range.

Its not too bad of a drive from Northern IL.  Only a hour drive for me. http://www.mcmillersportscenter.com/

I checked the list.
I am in Springfield and would like to find a long range rifle range.  Only one near is private and only 100 yds.  I guess I will call.

Any other suggestions?

Update...looks like PASA has a 600 yd range and membership is 25.00.

Only 85 miles from me.
