About MGCA Range

MGCA Range is an outdoor shooting range in Washburn, IL, run for members only. One reviewer, a longtime member, describes a members only range with yearly dues, and a second reviewer says simply that it is members only. Reviewers who belong describe a club where the grounds are clean and well maintained.

One member counts 12 ranges, made up of pistol ranges, a shotgun trap range, a dedicated rimfire range and a 200 yard rifle range, with an archery range and an axe throwing station also on the property. On rifle distance the reviews do not fully agree: an older review from another reviewer gives the longest rifle range as 220 yards. Another reviewer describes ranges for pistol, long gun and shotgun. Practicing a draw from the holster is possible here, and one reviewer calls it "one of the few to have a draw and shoot range."

The layout gets specific praise in the reviews. One member says every firearm range has covered shooting stations, with shooting benches, rifle racks and tables provided, and another mentions concrete pads at every range, covered on all but the shotgun throwers. The same reviewer notes clean restrooms at three locations. According to the first member, a range officer is responsible for upkeep, maintenance and adherence to the safety rules, and another reviewer mentions cameras around the grounds.

Reviewers also describe the people who shoot here as respectful and courteous. For shooters in Washburn, Illinois, MGCA Range is a gun range organized around membership, with pistol, rifle, shotgun trap and archery ranges.

Nice spot. Well maintained and quiet on a weekday afternoon. Clean bathrooms don't hurt either. Definitely recommend.

I've been a member of this association for almost 25 yrs. When I first joined the facilities were adequate. Over the years there have been many expansions and additions to the range. It's a members only range with yearly dues. The current yearly dues are $150, with access 365 days a year. There are currently 12 ranges from pistol ranges, a shotgun trap range, a dedicated rimfire range, and a 200 yd rifle range. A 500 yd range is coming in the near future. An archery range and an axe throwing station are also on the property. All firearm ranges have covered shooting stations. Shooting benches, rifle racks and tables are provided. Everything is clean and well maintained. The range officer is responsible for upkeep, maintenance, and adherence to safety rules. Safety is a top priority here. There are many friendly members and there is an abundance of firearm knowledge and friendly conversation from the members. I would recommend joining if you're looking for a great place to enjoy your firearms hobby. Open 365 days a year with unlimited access. The best outdoor range in Central Illinois. Join and enjoy!

I've been a member at this range for about 40 years & it's the best value (bar none) in the area! Concrete pads at every range, covered on all but the 5 shotgun throwers. Clean rest rooms at 3 locations. Archery range too. You owe it to yourself to check it out if you enjoy the shooting sports in any capacity.

Love this range. I love the fact that it doesn't get over crowded, at least all the times I've gone. Range #3 is right inside the gate and I always have it to myself... More steel targets maybe. I highly recommend... Train and Train some more... 😁😁

Fantastic range for all calibers/weapons. Rifles, shotguns, pistols, bows, or axes. They have you covered. Reasonable range fees, and a real haven for weapon collectors
