About Eagle Sports Range
Eagle Sports Range stands out as a premier shooting destination in Oak Forest, Illinois, dedicated to providing an inviting and unintimidating environment for shooters of all experience levels. With nearly 1,840 reviews and a 4.5-star rating, the facility has earned a reputation for excellence in both its shooting range operations and retail services.
The range’s physical layout and equipment reflect a commitment to quality. The 50-yard rifle range and 25-yard pistol range are housed in a spacious, exceptionally well-lit facility where shooters can clearly see their target impacts on both paper and reactive targets. The modern ventilation system and meticulous cleanliness standards create a professional shooting environment that feels both safe and welcoming. Unlike many older ranges that can feel dim and uninviting, Eagle Sports Range’s attention to lighting and facility maintenance removes barriers for new shooters who might otherwise feel intimidated.
One of the standout features is the rental program, which offers an extensive selection of firearms at reasonable rates with no time restrictions on your lane. This approach is ideal for shooters wanting to try different platforms, calibers, and firearm types before making a purchase decision. The range’s ’experiences’ program allows customers to handle specially designated firearms under supervision, adding another dimension to what the facility offers beyond standard shooting lane access.
The staff’s commitment to customer service is evident across all reviews. Whether you’re a complete beginner or experienced shooter, employees are knowledgeable, patient, and present on the range floor to assist with safety and technique questions. The on-site gunsmith services add significant value, offering customization and maintenance work from a friendly, experienced professional. For those purchasing firearms, the gun shop staff takes time to understand customer needs, presenting multiple options and providing detailed explanations of product features and functionality.
Eagle Sports Range also caters to structured learning through professional training programs. Their CCL (Concealed Carry License) courses are well-regarded, and the availability of private instruction allows shooters to tailor their training to specific goals and learning styles. The facility’s VIP lounge provides a comfortable space for members and clients to relax between shooting sessions or during social visits.
The pricing structure reflects the facility’s premium positioning. Range fees and rental costs are competitive but on the higher end of the market. The facility does offer promotional pricing - notably, they reportedly offer ladies a 50% discount on range fees on Wednesdays, which is a thoughtful initiative to encourage female participation in shooting sports.
From new shooters taking their first steps in firearms handling to experienced marksmen seeking a professional range environment with top-tier customer service, Eagle Sports Range delivers on its promise of quality, safety, and approachability.
