beej99;
If you head 20 miles west of Champaign on Interstate I-72 you will find Blue Ridge Backwoods www.blueridgebackwoods.com in Monticello Illinois.
We are a 10,000 sq ft Archery facility with a indoor Techno Hunt Shooting Range, a 20 yard indoor shooting range, a 40 yard indoor 3D shooting Range and a Outdoor 3D Shooting Range along with a
Full Service Archery Pro Shop Service Department.
We also carry all the bows and archery accesories you are hunting for.
Take I-72 West to the Market Street Exit take Market Street to past the cemetary and we are just a little bit after it on your right... we have a log cabin building.
Hope to see ya here.

beej99, if you're into shotgun sports (trap & skeet) check out the UofI Trap & Skeet Club. I just graduated in Dec. and was a member for 4.5 years.....a lot of good times.

I never went to the archery range though. Lady Forge contacted me when I was a freshman as well but I never took the time to go. Sounds like I make a big mistake by not going...sounds pretty nice!

If you want some info on the T&S club feel free to PM me!

Definitely recommend BlueRidge Backwoods. I discovered them through Lady Forge on here as well. Awesome ranges, great people, and tons of equipment to play with. First class archery shop.

This sounds great! I figure in a week or so I'll have my bow down here and ready to go! I will also check out the skeet and trap club!
thanks all,
