Anyone go here? Thoughts?

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

Yeah....just saw the sheer size of this place and thought WOW!

Am I blind? I can't seem to find anything on the site to where it at?

Sparta is south of St. Louis.

Millions spent on massive downstate gun range that sits empty. Thanks Rod.

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.

I had read somewhere it is used more by the big shot politician with the banquet halls for there parties and outings.
