Deb’s Gun Range

Good range. Great place to try a new gun and new ammo. Our Go To for 2^nd Amendment experience.

Ok, late review but I need to say it. I have been looking for another indoor range that isn’t as expensive as Blythe’s. My wife and I decided to try Debs. After waiting nearly an hour and listening to the conversation of an inexperienced 20 something guy who brought his two non-​shooter female friends to the range, we were getting a little nervous about being on the range with them at the same time. They were called for a lane ahead us and the salesman was talking to them about rental guns. He set one on the counter for the girl to pick up. When she did she proceeded to point it squarely at his chest. He never said a word about it. Never corrected her or advised her of proper gun safety. This is pretty basic and if she does it at the counter without correction there is nothing to stop her with a loaded gun on the range. We left and haven’t been back since.

A point off for nickle-​and-​diming you to buy and use only their targets. Min 19″ x 25″ house rules, wtf?

This is a great place to shop and shoot! Not the cheapest prices on hand guns compared to other stores in the area, but when you consider their nearest competitor is Cabela’s where staff never even give you eye contact, I think it’s worth it.

You wouldn’t know it from the outside, but this is a very nice range. When you first walk in you are greeted by exceptionally friendly staff. They are very knowledgeable and always willing to offer advice on how to be a better shot.
The range is small but recently remodeled. In the past, my only complaint was the poor lighting but that had been addressed. The prices are very reasonable as well. I highly recommend this place.

Walked in and employee behind counter was waving gun around. Then they came out in front of counter doing the same. Did not understand how not to point a gun. It’s amateur hour at Debs and dangerous. After that, I will never step foot in Debs again. Safety is not first here.
Recommend you go somewhere else if you value your life.

A good shooting range and gun shop in NW indiana!
I came here for my first ever shooting experiance and I was defenitely happy with everything.
The staff was great and proffesoinal, and the prices are definitely fair and very worth it. It can be busy at times but is overall a great experiance. I will definitely recommend it an will come back here again

This is a solid range, good location, and reasonably priced.
The people working there are also friendly and helpful answering questions.
I’m taking it down from 5 to 4 stars only because it can be very busy and hard to get a stall without a wait. The place is also kind of older and small.
But anyway, this is now my go-​to range, much better value than anything in the area.
Highly recommended.

had a great time overall. The staff is friendly and helpful. Prices were very reasonable. Will be back again.

Went to Debs for the first time and the staff is awesome, very helpful and friendly. Rates are decent and ammo costs are average. It’s your typical gun range but at least you can fire magnum rounds unlike other ranges in the area. I’ve been to other ranges in the area and debs is the best by far. Keep up the good work!

The staff were quite friendly and helpful, and clearly explained the rules of the range. I’m not sure how much my box of 100 rounds of .22 LR ammo was, but the total bill was $ 30 for two people, 100 rounds, and 5 targets. Not too bad, I guess. But the ammo they sold me was dirty, dirty, dirty. The range was dirty as well, not well-​lit, and did not seem to be well-​ventilated. Thanks for making me breathe all the smoke.
I was less than impressed when I started asking questions about the firearms for sale. The guy behind the counter confessed that he didn’t know much, but when I asked about the price for the .32 H&R Magnum ammunition the gun I was looking at would take, he quoted me the price for .32 ACP. Come on. If you don’t know, ask someone who does. I suspect they don’t stock .32 H&R Magnum at Deb’s and they’re not interested in ordering it for me. If that’s the case, just say so. Then I looked at some other revolvers, which were handed to me without opening the cylinder to make sure they were empty. Really?
Then I asked for a price on a gun they did not have behind the case, and the first guy who was helping me had no idea how to look up a price. He called over the other guy behind the counter, and he took a ballpark guess at the price of the gun I was asking about. Then he got out a book, looked up the list price, and confirmed that his guess was about right, in the most flip way possible. There was no discount off list price. Really? Almost every dealer discounts off list, especially for a small-​caliber production single action revolver.
I guess I’m easily mistaken for a sucker since I’m from Chicago and look like I have money.

A quick and to the point pistol range with small gun shop attached.
Rates are fair and worth it. The gentleman I spoke with the most was polite, courteous, and helpful. Ammo prices are still high, but that’s the Democratic president for you. Still, they don’t gouge like a lot of other places. A small, typical selection of Glocks, Springfield XDs, and other novelty firearms showed prices that were surprisingly modest compared to other shops I’ve seen on the Illinois side.
The range itself consists of 8 – 10 narrow stalls with motorized target hangers. Apparently rapid fire is allowed, which is neat for the first 5 minutes or so of listening to it. My only gripe is that the target areas are not well lit at all, and it’s just plain hard to see what you’re shooting at with much detail.
Definitely worth a visit if you’re within 30 minutes or so. I’ll be back for sure.

Deb’s was my first range experience and I completely recommend them.
The staff member at Deb’s that helped us sign up and figure out what gun to rent was 100% professional. He explained everything thoroughly and repeated it for me, from loading and firing the gun to the rules of the range…
I would say this place is woman-friendly…saw lots of ladies shooting and participating. The only discrimination I got was from my husband, who didn’t understand why I was offended at the question, «does that gun look cute to you?»…he now knows it’s like asking me if I like the radio in the Corvette :).
Super intimidating being in a basement full of other gun fans, especially with the loud noise some of the larger calibers make, but I will definitely be back!
Side note, Deb’s shop is stocked with necessities and the two older gentlemen drinking coffee in the back are a riot :) Also, don’t wear a v-​neck or otherwise open-​in-​the-​neck shirt… hot tamale bullet shells!

This was my first time there and the staff were friendly. Except one was very rude. Due to the other staff members being so nice is why I gave them two stars… I dont recall his name.

Down in the basement, good range. Just shot a few rounds but I’d recommend it to anyone. And I’ll be back soon. Thanks for the time, Deb.

I took a N.R.A. Gun Course here and It was actually fun! Deb, Chet and everyone that works here is really Friendly and Really cool. I Recommend Deb’s Gun Range.
