THE WATERMAN RANGES

More than five years ago the Club made the decision to expand their facilities with the purchase of 838 acres of land situated south of Waterman, Illinois. The Club plans to move all their operations and programs to the Water man Site.

The Waterman Range facility will utilize 188 acres centered on the 800+ acre property wholly owned by ASC Incorporated (The Aurora Sportsmen’s Club). Shooting ranges will include short and long range, pistol and rifle ranges, action sports ranges, multiple trap, skeet, sporting clays and five stand facilities, multiple target and broad head archery ranges. In addition, planned indoor and outdoor meeting/banquet facilities, a full service RV park, and rustic camping grounds will compliment the value of the facility.
