  1. I found the Jay Henges Shooting Range (MO State)...gonna try it out next weekend. An hour from me...$3 an hour...plenty of small arms ranges...no crazy fees. Guess I am looking for a place where I can have a 3yd-25yd pistol range as well as 25yd-100yd rifle range at my disposal. Don't want $300/yr fees, don't want 10am-4pm timeframe...just want to have some fun.
  2. I'm thinking Rampart Range may be the best match. Just sent Mark an email asking about the class schedule for Jul and on (nothing on his calendar). Although it looks expensive...I can handle 50 miles if the range is right. Their operating hours are extremely limited - would rather be able to go their in the summer and shoot between 7-9pm. Weekend hours are even worse. Just noticed that they do not offer any outdoor ranges. Dang.
  3. I belonged here in the 80's....it was nice at that time! http://tcgunclub.org/ I hear good things about this place..will check it out this week!!
  4. I shot at the Belleville Indoor Shooting Range range. I'm used to larger ranges in STL or KC...or even back in Texas where I am "from". Good: -Wide lanes -Friendly staff -Clean store -Plenty of stock and plenty of guns to rent (to shoot) Bad: -Expensive (to me...I'm used to paying $10...not $18 an hour -No discount on yearly fee for Active Military (LEOs get $150/yr instead of the rest of us paying $199/yr) -Horrible circulation on the range Although the staff was great and the store was pretty cool - I left early due to really bad ciculation down at the range. The smoke hung in the air at the 10yd line. I started choking a bit within 30 minutes of being there. Told the staff guy at the register as I was leaving...he said he would check. Sad that I paid $22 for 35 minutes of shooting but...some ranges are older or don't invest in their air circulation systems. Who knows. Not going back there again. Oh well, will keep looking.
  5. Thanks- took a look at it. Maybe in the future I will give it a tour. It's about the same distance there than the one I like in STL. On a side-note...and I will probably burn for this...maybe the guys at Highland R&P should upload photos that do NOT just show 100 year old men and women pointing hunting rifles and black powder rifles. Was that a Geritol league or something??? I don't think a lot of younger guys go there for any quick range fun!!! Just my opinion, but dang...kind of expensive for a hometown kind of range.
  6. Can't find a thread on this subject - so here it is. Looking for both indoor and outdoor areas to shoot near Scott Air Force Base, IL (Shiloh, Belleville, O'Fallon, etc). I am REALLY tired of paying $18/hr indoors - that is BS to me...but may be the norm here in Illinois. I'm a Texan forced to be here, don't like the lack of ranges and the high prices. What about outdoor ranges? Heck, I would shoot at a State run site if offered. The one place I found is the Belleville shooting range. $18/hr on only 5 lanes makes it both expensive and tight after work. They also don't discount for military...just active LEOs. Is paying $200/yr for a range fee the norm around these parts? Thanks - sorry to poo poo on the state...just not gun friendly.
