rev210 - Hello, neighbor. Bracken is about 6 mi. from my front door - never again. My first trip to Blackhawk sealed the deal for me. I usually take 3-4 pistols and spend half a day very leisurely. Great little Mexican restuarant on Shepard Road on way to range. Both worth the trip.

It is close by in Marion if you live on the far NE side, it is $11 if you are not a member and I believe $6 if you are, it is an unsupervised range. I mostly use the pistol range and there is nothing fancy about it just a few target stands you put your target on and place at whatever distance you want but if you go during the week or early on Saturdays you pretty much have the range all to yourself and the people that run it are also friendly.

Appreciate the heads up. I've heard of it, but it would be about the same distance (maybe slightly less) than Blackhawk where I am a yearly member and much less expensive than Community and no limit on weapons. It too is wide open, unsupervised (they supply (2) silhouette targets and no objection to your use of paste on), friendly, helpful when needed and seldom crowded when I go - early mid-morning. I'm pistol range only which also allows tactical shotguns, holstering and rapid fire. I always go during the week and avoid weekends anywhere. Pays to be your own boss.

My last visit, guy in next lane was testing his new Thompson sub-machinegun - made for an interesting day. That was one heavy sucker.
