I have been here many times; however, this time was different.I have always used the same ammo for my AK-47 every time I have visited this place. However, this time, after a few fired rounds down range this guy came and said, sorry, you can't use this ammo. I inquired why? He stated, this ammo is "steel core" and we don't allow that. I told him that we have used this many times here; he said, that doesn't matter you can't use it here. This was in a bid for us to buy their over priced ammo instead. Sharks. Was rude and condescending. Another employee came yelling as we were packing up at the top of his lungs that we can't take our emptied safe weapons back to feet to the bag.This place used to be good; however, rude employees and bad management will has left an extremely bad taste in my mouth. Will make sure to highlight this; everywhere on social media to make sure people take their business elsewhere. Thank you.

I've been to over 30 shooting ranges and NorthShore is the best one that I have ever been to by far. Employees are extremely knowledgeable and competent regarding firearms and firearm safety and are very friendly and welcoming. They have a great selection of firearms including higher end firearms and their classes are well put together and very informative. Special shoutout to a NorthShore employee named Olek who is extremely knowledgeable in all things relating to firearms as well as just a very friendly guy. He's always more than happy to answer any questions and is the most educated individual on firearms that I've ever met. Regardless of whether you're a brand new shooter or already a competent shooter I highly recommend you go to NorthShore. More shooting ranges need to be like NorthShore.

Stopped by a few days ago, simply came in to have them install my night sights. They did an excellent job and was performed while I waited. They also had some pretty slick 2011 style guns, rental pistols galore, clean, friendly staff definitely recommend them!

North Shore Sports Club in Lake Forest is amazing and blows away all other shooting range clubs. The facility is immaculate with a restaurant that has delicious food.The display of hand and long guns is exhaustive. It includes a long wall of rentals that allows you to handle and shoot an almost unending variety of guns. This allowed me, with the staff s educated input, to choose the gun best suited for my needs.So, what makes this place shine above all else are its employees/instructors. These guys are friendly, super nice, smart, and so skilled and knowledgeable.From Matt, Glen, Nate to Aaron and the others, my level of skill has skyrocketed. They go out of their way to help you learn. With their help, I have gained a deep understanding of guns and most importantly about how to safely use them. North Shore is truly a superb place for all your needs whether you are a novice or an expert.Paul Wolf

Went in to the range for a third time yesterday, and every time I witness the best service and kindest staff I have seen in my decade of shooting. Cole even helped confirm that I zeroed in my sight correctly by taking a few shots for me. Cole is the man! I will be signing up for a membership soon.

Aaron helped us through the process of being educated on what type of firearm was right for us and why. His knowledge and explanation was great. I would highly recommend NorthShore sports club to anyone needing a firearm. They also have a great restaurant on site!

2 years long overdue reviewMy Uncle asked me if I wanted to go to a range for the first time to show me the basics and so I can see whether I was into shooting, as well.I walked in with him not knowing what to expect. But, soon came to the realization that this was just like walking into a Walmart, in that it s just like any other store, except with firearms and the people are actually very friendly, passionate and knowledgeable! LolWe walked in like it was nothing. My Uncle checked us in, we got a booth and we started loading up. He showed me a few tips and tricks that he had picked up from a gun safety and pistol training course that he highly recommended to take before making our first purchase.The staff was very friendly and down-to-earth, nonchalant for lack of a better term. The place was spotless and there were a mix of different people old and young from all sorts backgrounds with one goal... To protect themselves and their love ones.I told my wife about my experience that night.. She finally agreed to go with me yesterday. We walked in and she was a little hesitant but we started looking and she finally decided to handle her first firearm and from there it was easy!A man named Erin came up to us and asked us if we had any questions and I was a little hesitant at first. But, we figured.. Hey he knows more than we do and more than we can ever look up on the Internet. The next 45 minutes was the most educational and informative experience I ve had in months maybe even years. He was very knowledgeable extremely passionate and made sure to address both my wife and I.Like anyone just starting out, I m sure there were questions that we may have forgot to ask. But, for my wife I remembered and asked specifically what Erin thought about safeties on a firearm.Since she was adamant about having one on the weapon of her choice. He very calmly and concisely explained that while it was her choice and preference on what her gun should include, the ultimate safety was the person he was speaking to and subtly yet comedically pointed at her and myself.Not once did he make my wife or me feel small like we were dumb or why were we even coming in if we didn t know anything. It was always a three way conversation when it needed to be and and educational one from start to finish.No rushing no pushing one way or another he recommended what he thought would be the best options for us based on the information we gave him and purposes for the firearms even though my wife wanted something slightly smaller than a full steel frame and large size she understood so much more and why he showed us his recommendations.By the end of the night we were there for two hours window-shopping. She said she wasn t ready to shoot anything just yet and Erin made sure we knew that that was OK and that when we were ready to come on in and he ll get us setup with whatever we d like.She fought me a little on signing up and wasting money on classes and gun rentals, before. But, after this experience she can t wait to sign up! Amazing experience! I don t know about everyone else s experience has been. But, based on ours...5 s!!

Had my 5 year CCL Renewal Class taught by Glen Carpenter just yesterday. Glen did a great job updating the class on changes in the laws, discussed other aspects of self defense and had the most organized live fire re-qualifying session I've experienced since CCL came into Illinois law. Highly recommend Glen and the entire operation at NorthShore Sports Club - a first class operation.

Recently became a member of the gun club and I must admit, it s awesome. Friendly atmosphere, along with professional treatment when it comes to dealing with sales reps inside. Very well knowledged knowing exactly what you need to be at your best when it comes to using their range and possibly purchasing firearms. I had the pleasure today of dealing with Nate, who for three hours, spent some quality time with me, ordering a multitude of parts for my AR buildouts. I can t thank him enough for taking his time to help me through this. we went step-by-step and part by part to really get the most out of what we needed to make my AR,s efficient and perform to their best. I spent some money today, but every penny was well worth it. Nate, thank you so much for your time your help your knowledge, your skill, and I look forward to these builds soon. For any of you out there that are looking to do the same or just to go and have some fun and enjoy their wonderful hamburgers and fries. I strongly suggest you join and become a member at the gun club. Just a bunch of awesome people.
