I checked out a new place up in Crystal Lake called "On Target Range and Tactical Center" - Very Nice!
They have two ranges; one for handguns (25M), one for rifles (50M). Both are well ventilated and clean. The rifle range has lower benches and stools for shooting from a rest. Both ranges are restricted from shooting steel-core ammo to help preserve the traps. The ammo will be checked, and if it's magnetic, it can't be used (was a challenge for feeding my AK). Most / all Bear, Tiger, Tula, some Herters and a couple others are not allowed. I was able to find suitable ammo at Cabella's and GAT (a local gun shop), but it's not a cheap as the steel case/ steel core stuff.
Overall the facility is very nice. The have quantity range passes, and memberships that cut the range costs in roughly in half.

GAT has plans posted in their entrance showing a new expansion that includes some rifle ranges (50M and 75M) due for completion in the first half of 2013.

Maxon in Arlington Heights received Des Plaines city council approval for construction of their new place, which also includes new handgun and rifle ranges.

I'm looking forward to using all of these facilities!
