Bristol Range is a pretty good range if you live North of the city (Chicago). I usually hit it oncea year before deer season. Prices sure have gone up over the past few years, but I guess that's typical around Chicago. They do run a pretty good range there though. Just a warning though, From September on to opening day of deer season, that place is pretty crowded. Be prepared to wait for a shooting lane. I usually go on Fridays during that time, a little less crowded. Make sure you get good directions of you go, it'sa little off the beaten path if you haven't been to that area before.
