Anyone go here? Thoughts?

http://www.dnr.illinois.gov/recreation/W...fault.aspx

This place seems almost too big and geared mostly to skeet shooters. Only has a short range rifle range, but I can't determine where that is on Google Maps.

So far, despite the drive, it's a "meh!" for me.

Wow, that's pretty far away. Going to the ISRA range would be closer

Good article; thanks for sharing. I wonder if this place is stagnant due to nationwide perception that IL is not gun friendly. Even with CCW, it's "unfriendly", IMO.
