Question 1

I am a retired 43 year veteran law enforcement officer.  I have a valid FOID & CC.  My brother has a valid FOID card and has never been to a range.  Can I bring him and get him started on the proper procedure to shoot on a range.

Robert Sims · Accepted Answer

you don't necessarily need a foid to shoot at the range as long as you're with someone else that has one.

John Sheahan · Answer

If he has a valid FOID he can shoot at the range.

Question 2

Can I apply for my FOID card at Fox Valley gun range ??

John Nowicki · Accepted Answer

Absolutely

Gail Parz · Answer

Yes I renewed mine there. 😁

Question 3

How much is a membership?

Craig C · Accepted Answer

Call them, they have different levels.

Question 4

What is the age limit and how much per person?

John Nowicki · Accepted Answer

Please don't misinterpret ..."least restrictive"....their very attentive & range office on range premises at all times if needed & monitors that the rules are followed and safety at all times.

Tim Rion · Answer

If I remember correctly 22 for first person and 10 for an additional.  2 per lane unless a private lane.  Don't believe they have an age limit as long as you have a parent or legal guardian sign a form.  I know I can take my 12 year old nephew. Excellent place to shoot.  I go there weekly.

Terrence M (repairmant87) · Answer

It's the least restrictive gun range ive been to, id travel out of my way to go here

Question 5

Twin Jamo · Accepted Answer

No you can not.  Most places don't allow steel cases due to the harsh treatment of the disposal.

Absolutely no steel. Still, a joy to shoot here. Very well ventilated, well lighted, clean, great staff and instructors. Upright, full view display cases vs. Sitting flat on a shelf. Growing inventory, both new and used.
