OUR FACILITIES: Our cowboy town, Camden Mills, has 10 bays all with covered loading and unloading tables, and every bay has a carport to protect those waiting and watching from the sun and rain. Six of the bays have cowboy building facades. Also, the entire range is well-shaded, contained in a reasonably small area (short walks between stages), and the central pathway through the competition range is 100% paved.
If you’re unfamiliar with our facility we’ve several videos which will give you an idea of what we have to offer. To get you started here are some links to a few videos:
- Click here to see a short video titled Enjoy the Zen. It’s a quiet walk through our range at 6:00 a.m. opening day of the 2022 Illinois State Championship. You’ll see that, in addition to several covered building facades, our facilities include covered loading and unloading tables and covered waiting areas at each of our 10, individually-bermed shooting bays, as well as a paved central pathway throughout our facility for easy passage between stages.
