—”Or better yet, learn to reload.

Years back I could shoot at a friend’s farm on Shick near County Farm, the rail embankment for a solid backstop with all the range you want.
A nice relaxing stop on the way home from work...

Occasionaly the DuPage county sheriff would stop to talk and check us out...
That is long gone.

Not wanting to drive, I went to a compressed air pistol/rifle. My basement is 50 feet long and used to shoot .22s but with new neighbors, and seldom fire powder burners.

A friend that is a serious big game guy, made an offer I could not refuse for my reloading gear including a table full of dies I inherited from a friend.

I still miss them, but have visitation privileges.

I live about 3 miles from there. Know the area well and how much it’s changed in the last 20 years. Illinois used to be a good place to live.

Not anymore.
