Is there any cost to go to this range, I recently bought an m1 garand from the CMP, i like in Mokena/Frankfort, IL about 45 min away from Ottawa, and me and my dad are lookin for a place to shoot. Is there any cost or any club needed to join to go to this range?
its open to the public, was $20.00 last time I went, They have this area (open pit), a skeet shooting area, pistol area, and your standard sit down range.
i wish i had something like that in my area. most of the ranges around here are crap and if you want to go to a decent one you have to go for a bit of a drive.
Well, yes, it's a valley of sorts. This area is just for blasting away, as you can tell by my haphazard shooting style! They call this area "the pit". It's an old strip mined area and the hills are slag heaps. You throw junk down there and shoot at it! Great fun.
This range has a "real" 50-75-100 yd. rifle range as well, as well as separate pistol and shotgun ranges. Nice, laid-back public range. Buffalo Range, Ottawa, Illinois

I believe they have raised the price to $25/day. Still a sweet deal!

we are lucky here in IL. They mined for silica out there and dumped the waste. The guy who owns this place bought the land. sweet deal :)

this is an odd set up for a range...are you actually shooting into a valley?
