This place is the real deal. Recommend by family and friends I decided to finally go a couple weekends ago during their open house event. The opportunity to shoot rapid fire and outdoors isnt really possible any where else I’ve been other than a farm. Every member of their staff was incredibly nice throughout the process. My only regret was not bringing more ammo and coming earlier!

SUPER friendly staff, reasonably priced. 5⁄5 I recently visited this range for the first time and I love it. The place is huge. They have ranges for shot gun, handgun, rifles at different yardage. They have steel but I didnt go to that area. Last but not least they have the pit. The pit is exactly what it sounds like a big pit with all kinds of items in it. You have to shoot between the flags at the bottom and the flags at the top of the dirt mound. They call cease fire every 25 minutes so you dont have to wait forever to put up targets. The best thing about the place were the people. At a lot of ranges the people running it are a##holes, not at this place. Everyone from the check in counter to the different ranges were very friendly and I appreciated that. It was so nice not to get a nose bleed like I get from rinks and not get attitude like at megasports. I will definitely be returning here as soon as possible.

I live less than 5 minutes from Article II Gun Range in Lombard, but Buffalo is so much better place that I will drive 1 hr and 10 mins to go here instead of going to Article II. I was always put off by the rude behavior of the range personnel at Article II but lived with it because of the convenience. The final straw was when The Slob(that’s what I call him) called me an idiot for using their online reservation service that didn’t work. All I found at Buffalo were pleasant and helpful people. The older gentleman at the office is always helpful and courteous and has always thanked me for coming out to visit them. The Range Officers are very professional and do an excellent job of keeping the range safe — I was impressed by their efficiency and attention to detail. The staff at Buffalo is always friendly and that makes the experience that much more pleasant. Keep up the good work — I love coming here and will not hesitate to bring groups here.

I recently took the conceal carry class at Buffalo Range offered by Final Defense Inc. The instructor, Jeremiah Brown(JB), is a policeman. As an adult educator I can say JB has very good teaching skills which makes the 2 day class go by much faster. When I researched the instructor required skills and topics to be covered I thought, well at least I’ll have fun shooting off a few rounds. In this case I was mistaken. Carrying a loaded firearm is serious business and I for one am thankful for the perspective given by a law enforcement official. I appreciated the fact he consulted with the local states attorney. I may have misstated the title of the legal arm representing the police department he consulted, but the fact remains he added an additional perspective from the point of view of attorney on conceal carry issues. I had the opportunity to discuss a conceal carry class offered in Florida that a family member had completed. His knowledge of conceal carry issues were severely lacking. In fact, the firearm qualifications were a joke. He shot off a few rounds at a target 7 feet away. If anyone is interested in actually learning about concealing a loaded firearm and the ramifications associated with using that firearm, I strongly urge you to take the class. I would also urge those that have a firearm at home and are not interested in a conceal carry permit, to take the class.

I’ve been here a few times. Really nice staff. The only thing that I don’t like is the no photography thing. I drive far to get there, I at least would like some pics. But oh well, the range is still nice. Never had to wait. Saw some safety violators get ejected, for good reason. I do recommend this place.

Buffalo Range Shooting Park is an all outdoor public shooting range. Shooters pay a daily fee(30.00), and have access to all ranges, all day. The range safety officers are amazing, helpful and very safety oriented. You’re allowed to bring in picnic lunches, and even grills. No alcohol, photos or videos are allowed. Great staff and 44 years of experience behind it. Female founded, and female owned!
