NILO has an incredible history as once owned by Winchester's John Olin as a private dog-training grounds and hunting preserve. Today the 350-acre property offers recreational shooting, game-bird hunting in the fall and is open for special events, including National Hunting & Fishing Day. The property has a trap and skeet range, as well as one of the most premier sporting clay courses in the region. NILO also offers personal, certified clay target instruction. Reservations are not required. Sporting clay shooting is $75 per person and that includes amunition.

For more information, call (618) 466-0613 or e-mail info@nilofarms.com or visit nilofarms.com.

NILO reserves the right to cancel or postpone hunting or shooting activities due to inclement weather or other circumstances.
