“Very good membership club. Rifle range, pistol range, shotgun pit for shooting clays. Expansion is in the works for opening additional shooting pits for various courses and training scenarios. There are also a large amount of hosted shooting events by club members as well as monthly board meetings. Very clean and well maintained by the members!”

“Just amazing!!!! What are the main reasons I joined this Club was for the long distance shooting. There are many opportunities to shoot closer for pistol by my house, but none of them are in this type of distance for this club. Well worth the money just for the long distance shooting capabilities. I see great things in the future and have not met one person who has not been positive.”

“The NIRPC is one of the best gun ranges I've ever been to. The rifle and pistol club has a very active membership. Besides having a standard rifle and pistol range, they feature a long distance rifle shooting range; currently up to 500 yards! They are always actively improving the club grounds. I would highly recommend, as it's so close to Rockford, and is really a hidden gem!”
