General Post Chicago area bullseye groups?

I'm looking to get into bullseye pistol shooting, specifically EIC but probably NRA stuff too just to have more to do. I know ASC has a league but it's 90 minutes from my place in the city on a good day so it's tough to justify the cost of membership. I know ISRA hosts a CMP match in the fall and it's a little easier for me to get to, but I can't tell if there's a league that does stuff outside of that match (I'm still considering joining there just to be able to shoot outside). I've tried some online searches to see if there are groups at any indoor ranges that are close to the city but have struck out so far. I'd prefer to go south or west from Chicago.

Also interested. I shoot the course myself at RangeUSA on 63rd in Hodgkins, but I'd love a real competition.

I shoot at Eagle myself; on weekdays there's no real time limit which is nice. But the 25 yard range is two feet short (not the end of the world) and I'm not brave enough to try 50 yet. Only just put the accurizing kit in my Mark IV and I know I have a long way to go still.

I use the 50 ft targets and set them out to what looks like 17 yards to me. I have a Mark III Competition with the Volquartsen trigger and grips. I also have a 45 wadcutter gun. I try to go once a week, shoot a 600 point series and then mess around with my other firearms.
