I know someone who is on the board there ... if you're interested, PM me some details on how to contact you and I'll be happy to pass them along.
I also did a RR shoot there and spoke to RT (iirc club pres) about membership. He stated at the time that hcfg was not taking on new memberships. That was 11months ago, so things may have changed.
Any citizen of the United States may apply to become a member of Hamilton County Fish & Game Association. However, as we are reaching our membership capacity, you must have history with an existing member and they must sponsor your application. This is prior to, and in addition to, the vote of the Executive Committee and membership after doing the following:
• Complete the Application for Membership in full
• Possess or Obtain a Current National Rifle Association Membership
• Possess Indiana LTCH or Obtain a paid Indiana State Police limited criminal history check
• Sign a Release of Liability Form
• Successfully complete the HCFG Safety Orientation
• Attend Three (3) Club Meetings
• Attend One (1) Club Event
• Attend One (1) Club Work Detail
• Pay your Yearly Dues at the appropriate Rate
• Be Voted-in by Active Club Members and Executive Committee
I'd be interested in possibly checking it out. My wife and I just bought a house in Noblesville not terribly far from there. Getting a sponsor sounds a little difficult though.
I'm in the area but I shoot at Elwood (short trip up 37). Joining ECC was a lot simpler plus they have an archery range for my son. I wish they had a 200+ yard range, but the 100 yard works most of the time. They had to close new memberships for now. Like any club, it's not perfect but I enjoy it.

I'll have to look into that one too. Thanks for the heads up! I'll keep an eye out for when they open up new membership.
Did you know the club owns over 50 acres there?
If enough members would show up at the meeting we easily could outvote the Geritol crowd and modernize the club. A 200 yard range could easily fit multiple places of the property.
We just never seem to get enough members to go to the meeting and if they do eventually show up, they will not engage in the conversation on the floor with something they want the club to do.
We have been arguing for months of something as simple as pouring a concrete pad under the new roof on the 50-75 yard range. Not to mention the 3" + rock that was put down in the range parking lot.
