About ISRA
The ISRA Academy was formed to promote firearm safety and excellence in marksmanship by providing training and other educational opportunities to all law-abiding gun owners in Illinois.
In 1903, the year of inception of ISRA, the Education & Training Committee was formed with the sole purpose of providing civilians an opportunity to learn and practice shooting skills so they would become proficient marksmen if later called on to serve in the U.S. military.
Over the years the activities of the Committee were expanded to include education and training of youth and women in all types of shooting sports.
Today, the overarching goal of the ISRA Academy is to be the ultimate resource for the shooter by providing not only information but also by offering courses, training instructors, and planning events, with an emphasis on involving more youth and women in a safe and fun environment.

ABOUT THE ISRA RANGE

The range has been expanding continuously over the years and now has over 250 firing positions spread over 12 ranges. The climate-controlled indoor classroom facilities host educational events regularly. See upcoming classroom and range events on the Official ISRA Calendar.
Weekends sometimes have scheduled shooting activities or classes, please check the range schedule above. During the week there is often little or no activities on the ranges.
