Princeton has a public range just north of QC, Blue Grass and Milan both have private (membership required) ranges as well. Not a lot of ranges to speak about in the local area unfortunately!

Spring for a membership at a private range.
Totally worth it IMO (not from your area so I can't make any solid recs.) Also check out this map: http://iowafc.org/ranges/ |

What type of shooting do you like to do? The QC area ranges are good for some types of shooting and absolutely suck for others.

Princeton isn't a bad range, but for God's sake, go at goofy times or during the middle of a workday. Going during the weekends will have you looking down the barrel of some retard's gun and/or your targets getting blasted to hell regardless of where the other shooters are.
Range is nice when abandoned, flipping scary when packed. |

Pistol out to 25 yards, and in natural light! 300 to 500 yards is tough around here on public/private ranges. Best bet is to make friends with local farmers or get to know guys in the area who have access to private land. I was shooting with a few local guys Friday night out to 800 yards (we had 950+) just west of the QC area. Best part is it was just us and we could do whatever we wanted! |

Come on over to Milan Rifle Club. $175 a year to join, but it's easily worth the price. The majority are good people and actually know safety. Unlike some/most of the public ranges in the area.
If you'd ever like to take a look around, feel free to holler at me on here. Dan |

As was said, the public range at Princeton is down right scary unless you go middle of the day on a work day. I went out once on a bitterly cold Febuary afternoon, shot ten rounds, and left due to major safety concerns. I didn't even bother to retrieve my targets.....
I joined Oak Hill Gun Club in Blue Grass and it is a very nice place. Rifle only goes out to 200 yards though. The people so far have been great to shoot with and are very safety minded. Cost is $65 per year and requires that you attend a safety meeting as well as being an NRA member (they can sign you up on the spot if you aren't a member already). Open dawn till dusk every day of the year. |

It is a great range. :) This goes for everyone on here, feel free to holler if anyone wants a looksie. The cowboy St. Jude Charity is the 21st-24th. Always a great time. As well as the 30-31st High Power ISRA State Shoot 200/300/600 yards. Both are good times to take a look as well. |

Milan is a good range, well run, clean and safe. However, the 300 and 600 yard ranges (and to a lesser extent the 200) are often closed because they shoot over other ranges.
Also look into New Windsor, they go out to 1000. |
