A friend of mine who shoots goes to the Maywood Sportsman's Club in Elmhurst. A warning, though: I'm not sure if they do handguns.

There's a place in East Dundee on Dundee Road. Forget the name though.

I heard of one in Palatine, also don't know the name.

GAT guns in Dundee has a good indoor range. (mentioned above) If I remember correctly it is off of route 31.
Aurora Sportman's club in Waterman IL has classes I believe. And they have a rifle range as well as shotgun and archery. We are members there.

I used to always go to GAT. It has gotten really expensive over the years ($20 per person). And at least one person in your party needs a FOID card in order to use the range. But it's a pretty cool place.

Buffalo Range way out west near Starved Rock. Only April to November, though. It's a great place.
