Outdoor rifle range to shoot steel in NWI/Chicagoland area.

[black22rifle]

Is there an outdoor rifle range in the Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland area where I can shoot at some steel targets? As far as I know Willow Slough is the closest and that's already an hour away. Willow slough is paper targets only, but I would be willing to pay to shoot at some steel even if I have to bring my own.

Did anyone ever locate an outdoor range? I'm in NW Chicago and looking for something between here and Kenosha.

Look up Alpha Range. It's somewhere in McHenry. Don't know if they have a website, but I spoke to the owner by phone. Seemed like a nice guy. IIRC, you pay for a membership, and they make you a range officer (every member). you get 24 hour access with a key fob, I think.

I meant to check this place out after hearing good reviews, but never got around to it. I've now moved to Oregon.....

I believe there are steel targets, and you can do various drills, holster draws, etc.

Aurora Sportsman in Waterman IL might allow steel. I was at an appleseed event the other week and someone the range over was ringing steel consistently. It's members only, or event only.
