On target

I saw the spartan tactical thread but didn't see the course I wanted on the calendar.
On target is relatively close to me. I've purchased there and target practice so I'm familiar with the place.
Thanks in advance.

Has anyone tried On Targets virtual trainer? Was it worth the cost?

I tried it once. The shooting portion of my CCL class was held there. After class was over, they had someone run us all through it for an hour or so, no extra charge. It was pretty fun! Not bad for the cost if you get a few people to go.Has anyone tried On Targets virtual trainer? Was it worth the cost?
BTW, my class was with an independent instructor, not through On Target.

They just got rated 5-star by the NSSF on the 21st of July 2017
"f you had visited us within the last two weeks, you may have noticed the “5 Star” plaque on the wall directly behind our center register and another as you reach the top of the stairway. A number of businesses proclaim to be a “5 Star” operation so another emblem, sticker, or plaque may not draw too much attention. For this reason, we feel the need to hang up our usual cloak of humility and indulge ourselves for a small stretch down the path of braggadocio.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) does not hand out this coveted award like candy. Only two ranges in Illinois have taken the long and arduous journey for this achievement and OnTarget is one of them. Below is the “short list” of attributes required just to be considered for such a prestigious award:
- State of the art ventilation
- Absolute compliance with OSHA, EPA, and ATF regulations
- Clean and secure facility
- Adequate range lighting
- Range Safety Officers
- A multitude of classes for all ages and experience levels taught by professional instructors
- A clean and modern classroom environment conducive to learning
- Regular special events for the public and for private groups
- Regular firearms qualification for the staff
- Written and comprehensive employee handbook, training and safety manuals
- Background checks for all employees plus regular lead and drug screening
- First aid training for all staff
- Strong community relations and charity events
- Handicap accessibility"

According to the NSSF press release about Maxons:
"Ranges that appear to meet the criteria for Four- or Five-star rating receive an on-site evaluation by NSSF staff. NSSF member ranges that meet a Three-star rating are recognized for being a part of the Star-Rating range family and are provided guidance to improve their facilities and achieve the higher two ratings."

That's even better.
I didn't stay on the site long but didn't see that about making a visit.
Was thinking how it could be since it's an award.......
Also, anyone have the link about Maxons?
I've been trying to find out about the new location that was discussed before here about the one on Ferry Rd. Just west of RT. 59

After the Warrenville range announcement, info kind of went into a dark hole. Point Blank in Naperville is making progress, but last people that reported looking at the Maxon location reported no obvious external progress. I looked at the Warrenville site too and can find no references since last November. Is it really happening?

That's because it doesn't seem to be on the actual site — only the press release. Take it for what it's worth, but I tend to also believe it's self-reported. Why would the NSSF really expend the resources to do site visits, except maybe randomly?
