We practiced and got familiar with the handguns with the help of a teamember who was very patient and helpful. He made us girls feel very welcome, safe and comfortable. The staff at the front desk were also friendly and helpful. We worked up an appetite after shooting so we ate at the BBQ joint adjoined. We were lucky enough to be able to sit outside in the beautiful weather. The ribs had so much flavor they didn't even need sauce. The green beans also had lots of flavor and i can almost never pass up sweet potato fries especially if they are waffle cut! We stayed past the time the kitchen closed and as we were catching up told the workers we would get out of their hair but they insisted that we did not have to leave and were not keeping them. We found that to be extremely kind and will definitely make it by again sometime.

Went here for my first time shooting. The staff is all very helpful and friendly. They also have a…read morerestaurant attached but it wasn't open on Monday when we went. You will need your own ear/eye protection but if you don't have you can buy there. They also have an instruction course for $25 where the instructor will walk you through how to use the different guns. We did that as it was our first time either of us had shot a pistol. 10/10 would recommend this if it's your first time, though it will be a bit hard to hear since it happens down at the shooting range. It's $10 for the gun which you can switch out continuously, and then just paying for ammo after that. Overall good price and service, would come here again!

This place is awesome. I didn't even realize we had a range in the city, but I'm so glad we found…read moreit! My husband and I came in on a Thursday, and they had ladies day, so pricing was awesome. We shared a bay and stayed for probably an hour or so. Plenty of time to get through some rounds in our new rifle. They can't HVAC the range because of all the lead, so just be aware of that, on hot days, it's HOT. But other than that, we had a blast! They also had a worker that was coming over and giving me tips, which was awesome and appreciated. Definitely recommend if you don't want to drive 40 minutes to an outdoor range!

Employee named Shawn answered and proceeded to pitch a fit that I was calling so late and that the guns shop closes at 6pm, only the range is open until 8pm.

I was not badgered by "Tactical Tommy" range officers. Furthermore, my son and I rented a fully automatic and suppressed H&K MP5. This was my son's first time shooting a fully automatic firearm and we are both still smiling 4 hours later. Thank you guys for making this experience memorable and one to look back on. You guys were great!

I've been to Jay Henges Shooting Range several times, and until yesterday I would have highly…read morerecommended it. The pricing is great ($5 per hour per lane), and in the past I found the staff helpful, though very rule-oriented, which is understandable at a shooting range. Yesterday, however, was a completely different experience. It was my 19 year old daughter's first time shooting a gun, and she was already very anxious. Unfortunately, what should have been a positive introduction turned into a stressful and upsetting experience due entirely to one staff member. When we arrived, we rented two lanes -- one for my daughter and me, and one for my minor son (16) and an adult male friend. Everyone except my daughter had been there before. When we got to the lanes, staff member Bruce began questioning us. I explained that it was my daughter's first time and that she might need some extra help because she was nervous. Instead of being supportive, Bruce immediately became aggressive and started yelling. He then went over to my son's lane and escalated further, getting into my minor son's face. The adult male with us asked him to please back up and be respectful. Bruce responded by getting into the adult's face and yelling even louder. We asked to speak with a supervisor. Bruce followed my friend to the office and continued invading his personal space until the supervisor finally told Bruce to back up. By that point, my friend was understandably upset and chose not to continue shooting. My son shot a few rounds, but the situation had already soured the experience. Thankfully, another staff member later helped my daughter calmly and respectfully, and she was able to learn how to shoot for the first time in a supportive environment. That staff member was professional and deserves recognition. It's extremely unfortunate because prior to this visit I would have given this range five stars and praised the staff. One person completely changed that. For a new shooter -- especially a young, anxious one -- being yelled at and treated aggressively is unacceptable. Be aware of who is working when you visit. Our experience would have been entirely different had we not encountered Bruce.

Well maintained along with the staff eager to help. The members will also provide assistance.read more

This is a very, very nice scatter gun range - based solely on amenities, it's nicer than all the…read moreranges I've been to in the Chicago area. I've been several times, and this review pretty much holds true for every visit. First off, they have 8 trap/skeet fields. All the fields appear to be usable for both trap and for skeet, although I doubt they have all three required launchers in place at each station at all times. We are always told which are set up for which. All the fields are well maintained, with voice activated throwers. Almost never a broken bird, although the flight trajectory on field 8 is a little flat - I feel like I'm shooting right at the house half the time, which I'm sure is frowned on. It's interesting to note that there is NEVER any kind of wait, and nor is there ever any formal trap. They just tell you to go out on a field and have fun. They track birds thrown with a little electronic counter box, which I've only seen at this location...it seems a bit unreliable, or maybe I'm just dumb. But I think it manages to overcharge me every time. Oh well. I think there are two more 5-stand fields, but I've never seen them in operation. Their clays course is very nice - 12 stations. All have two launchers, so you can choose a (sometimes extraordinarily difficult) true pair or report pair on each station - never just two birds from the same launcher. Difficulty was medium. I recently shot near my personal best, percentage wise, so I'm not going to say it was hard. One highlight is a scaffold shooting platform - it's fun to shoot down on the birds instead of up at them. And there was a single rabbit, for variety, but no mini or midi clays that I saw. The entire course is in the open, kind of brushy fields, some shaded by woods, but no stations under cover of trees. There's a paintball range just behind (up range) of parts of the clays course, and it's hard not feel super awesome when you consider those kids aren't even using live ammo, and they think they're cool. The reason I only have 4 stars marked here is because the staff are kind of jerks. I'm pretty understanding of you being nervous with random people showing up and discharging firearms on your property. But there's no need to be a total jerk to me - if I do something unsafe, then by all means, come down on me and correct the unsafe behavior. But the hostile attitude we always get the moment we walk in the door is a bit uncalled for. Even trying to strike up conversation with the range master got us clipped, smart-alec responses...I guess if he wants people to dislike him, he's getting his wish. I've been several times, and it's always the same. But, if you can ignore the staff (well, not ignore...just don't take them personally, or expect any friendliness) then this is a spectacular range.

We're hoping they make some updates as it starts to get warmer and more people get to know that this place is open again. The app lets you check in one dog ahead of time and then we have to add the other dog when we go in the door. They have a Hawaiian place as well as a panini place inside along with the full bar. When we went this past week they opened the outside bar. It would be really great if they had a speaker system and music or something, it's kind of quiet and awkward more than I remember at Bar k, but that's a friendly suggestion :) overall; thankful our dogs have their social lives back!

The Hawaiian food is legit and the burger is a contender. It pains me to see negative reviews from people that are upset some of the rules cater to dogs and not their individual personal situation. As a dog dad I actually quite prefer it that way and appreciate the things this organization as done with the best interest of all the dogs and their safety in mind. I wish people would give a new business the respect they deserve for the hard work they put in and the amazing product it resulted in. My pup is a big dude, and there's nothing he loves more than to play at the park. So naturally he is extremely excited to get there and even more so it get IN. Their new check in process is amazing. Members can check-in in advance and then they recognize your dogs picture and let you in. The apps a little clunky, obviously there's gonna be some growing pains but that upgrade alone has made my experience significantly better and my dog happier. I can get him in without any hassle and he doesn't have to wait for a long time at all. And seriously if you don't eat some of the food you are missing out. Two bad ass food trucks launching a brick and mortar is my love language. Kanoa's Hawaiian is so good it makes me suggest the park to the dog. Overall such a great improvement. Me and the pup both couldn't be happier to see the park back better than ever. Thank you K9!!
