Diamond Trap "World's Only ATA Certified Indoor Trap Range"

By Randy Wakeman

The village of Diamond, Illinois, is south of Chicago, south of Naperville, and south of Channahon off of I-55. Taking the IL-113 W west exit gets you within a mile or two of Diamond Trap, the first and only ATA-certified indoor trap range in the United States and the world, apparently.

In 1940, Diamond, Illinois had a population of eighty people. According to the 2010 Census, Diamond has 2,527 residents. For more on the Village of Diamond, see https://www.villageofdiamond.org/ .

Diamond Trap, that opened just prior to the start of the pandemic, is unique in that has the support of the village, the community, and the local schools. One of the goals of Diamond Trap is to get local college shooting scholarships for students, along with providing an ideal setting for hunter safety courses and firearm instruction.
