Hickory Hills Rod and Gun Club

I have been going here for years. It is a membership based club that does welcome visitors on Sunday morning shoots. It is not the largest of clubs nor is it the most modern. However it is very conveniently located, membership and shooting fees are extremely reasonable. The club has a couple small lakes for fishing and some camping facilities.
I was surprised to read the negative review but hey you can’t please everybody. Being near residential areas they follow strict safety guidelines. Which means they will quickly point out or correct any unsafe practices.
All in all the people are very down to earth and fun. It is a place where women and children are welcome and families are often present. In the fall they typically host a couple «turkey shoots» which are fun shooting game events where people from beginners to experts come from all over the area to attend and take their shots at winning.
If you are a new shooter they make you feel at home and you will get all kinds of advice and pointers on how to improve.
I would recommend you come out any Sunday morning when the club is open to visitors and check it out. Oh and The club is only for shotgun shooting no handguns or rifles.

I went to shoot trap at this club, some time ago, but encountered a fat, obnoxious, bucket headed man by the name of George. He was such a blowhard, that I finally left. People like him do more to hurt the club than anything.
