Thank you so much for the nice range for us to use. It was my brothers first official trip since becoming a new member. His stepson and his fiance' ( she is new to firearms ) had a very safe and fun few hours.

We kept everything very safe on instructing Jennifer in her first use of a Smith and Wesson 15-22.. A nice fun gun for a beginner. We kept it at 1 round at a time until she became familiar and comfortable in it's use. The same method we used in introducing her to various pistols.. Very slow and one shot at a time. She had a absolute blast learning to shoot as we all had a great time. I look forward to my step nephew to becoming a new member soon.

Being outdoors and enjoying the fresh air while shooting targets with friends/family was a nice way to spend the afternoon. We hope to visit again soon. 

I'm a new member and love to come out and shoot! The ranges are always clean and the property is beautiful! Everytime we are at the range the other members are always friendly! Thank you for having a great range! I will be a forever member!

Great place to practice and test your weapons, on my 1st day I met Greg. Very nice guy he explained things in great detail. He also came by to check to see if I needed anything. I enjoyed myself, now I can minimize my indoor range time I need a life time membership card now lol (HintHint)

My wife and I thoroughly enjoy the variety of the ranges there is something for everyone. I enjoy the natural temperature controlled ranges, warm in the summer and cool in the winter. It doesn't have the disadvantages of the indoor ranges and the annual cost is below other ranges is well worth it. My nephew belongs to one that is $300 per year. Every member I've met have always been very helpful if you have any questions. The addition of the steel targets had been a big improvement and are more fun than punching holes in paper. So do yourself a favor and join us and come out and have some fun.

My wife and I have been a member for 10 years. The place is clean and safe. We enjoy the range.

"There's not much to say other than, "hands down, the BEST range in the area" ! ! ! The variety and number of ranges (12), is AWESOME. The game changer for me personally was all of the reactive steel targets that have been installed on most if not all ranges. It's SOOO much more fun watching those plates dance and/or hearing that steel ring. Sooo much more fun than punching holes in paper with a handgun ! ! ! You guys have really done great with all of the recent improvements, keep it rolling. Thanks to the board and all you do ! ! !"

MGCA is one the best shooting ranges for my family. We truly enjoy the range diversity that the facility provides.

"The best range in the central IL area, not the best outdoor range but the best overall range. They have everything you could ask for in a range. Excellent rifle ranges, and a great pistol range with some steel to shoot at. Also some clay throwers that I have yet to use, but will soon enough. Best part is the price and the support you get from the staff there. I could not ask for more. Thank you guys for doing what you do to bring us an outdoor range we can all be proud of."

"I love the RANGE, great place to come and shoot and Greg Crank is a great person to talk to very friendly to talk to and he keeps the range in good shape.I have been a member for a long time."

"I joined a few years back. A couple friends have joined recently and I'm looking forward to going back.."

"I have been a member for a long time. I always find a place to shoot and the range is kept well maintained."

"I, and my 4 sons, are very pleased with the range and the leadership of the organization. We have been members for more than 5 years and plan on continuing our membership well into the future. The range is kept up to date and clean. Safety is always the first concern. The range master puts in a lot of effort on a daily basis. And, the leadership of the association are knowledgeable and think to the future. A well run group!"

I was a member for a couple of years. It's a great range, me and my wife enjoy going and spend the day. I am going to renew this year and the staff members are very helpful!!

I've been a member for two years now and don't see any reason why I wouldn't be a member for the next 20. The ranges are always clean, and the range officers are always polite and helpful. In these two years, I've never had a negative experience.

Hands Down the Best Outdoor Shooting Range in the Area ❗️

If you’re looking for a range that truly has it all, this is it. The investment into these facilities never stops — they’re constantly improving, expanding, and even purchasing adjacent property to add more ranges. It just keeps getting better.

🔹 Archery Range – Deer silhouettes set out to approximately 25 yards for bow hunters and archery enthusiasts.

🔹 Axe Throwing Area – Large tree rounds for a rugged, satisfying throwing experience.

Open year-round, so you can train in every season.

And at just $150 per year, it’s one of the best values you’ll find anywhere — unmatched variety, constant upgrades, and something for every shooting discipline.

Great group of friendly people and staff… Plenty of ranges to choose from, even when it’s busy… Well layed out maps of the ranges.. Fun events and promotions. Always adding something new. Best range in central Illinois. Have to see it to beleive it.

"My family and I love going out to MGCA. The range is always clean, well maintained and we never seem to have an issue finding a spot to shoot!"

"Just wanted to mention the fact about the recent range work. I was there Thursday when range number 1 was worked on. The operator definitely knew what he was doing. His actions were quick and smooth. He did a great job and moved on to the other ranges.#1 range was smoothed, the berms redone, and the left side " landside" was removed. Everything just looked better when he was done. Next time you visit, take notice and remember to thank Greg for his range supervision and and his efforts to make our MGCA
Club range the best around!"

Greg Crank is a wonderfull asset for the gun club. Greg not only does a fantastic job of maintaining and policing the range, he's a great source of information and has helped me be a better shooter.
Greg, THANKYOU for all you do.
