My family had a fantastic time out on the range. All the gentlemen running the shop were super awesome. Had a great time celebrating the 4th of July by shooting some steel targets.

A store with down to earth people who are willing to help and make everything as straight forward as possible. I took my CCL class here and like many at first was nervous on the first day. The instructors, Tina and Delmar made the experience fun and as easy as possible. They drove home the facts of the laws and made them simple to understand and gave us plenty of time on the range to work on our shooting skills and make sure we were ready to go out in the world to carry. They also offer many other training opportunities and im very excited to come back to the facility for more trainings. The range is also amazing. Plenty of steel to shoot at, hanging up your own targets as well to shoot at. They offer a great selection of distances at the outdoor range and keep a nice and tidy indoor range to shoot at. By far one of the most amazing facilities here in central Illinois and I would highly recommend Darnall's Gun Work's to anyone who was looking to get training, fair prices on firearm's and accessories, and just a fun range to have a range day at.

Tina and Delmar are the best instructors in IL, the 16hr CCL course was the most fun I’ve ever had. From classroom to range time they built confidence in my class, took time to answer questions in depth, and go above and beyond to be personable and professional. I’ve been to the indoor range 10+ times prior to taking the CCL class, and purchased a pistol here as well. Everyone is very welcoming and knowledgable, and I recommend Darnall’s to anyone I can.
