Northern Illinois Rifle and Pistol Club

The Northern Illinois Rifle and Pistol Club started six decades ago and still operates the same way: as a not-for-profit run by Officers and a Board of Directors who actually show up.

• •Daily access to shooting facilities (members and invited guests)
• •Informal plinking and target shooting
• •Special competition events throughout the year
• •Connections to youth programs (Boy Scouts, 4-H)

Membership requires you to be an active member of either the National Rifle Association (NRA) or Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA). That's the gate. Download the application from their site, join one of those organizations, and you're eligible when a slot opens.

NIRPC operates shooting ranges including their Harrison Road facility (metal siding added for weather protection) and a South Range location currently in development. They're actively maintaining and upgrading infrastructure—recent work includes crushed asphalt parking and structural improvements.
