    I'm gonna have to wait a while before I can commit but I'm going to try to plan for it. I've been looking at that range on line for a while and it looks really nice!

    According to this site: DNR: Roush Lake Shooting Range the hours may vary and there is a $4 charge for adults. I'm assuming we know they will be open that day?

    Also, these coordinates: 40.831468,-85.430751 will give you the exact location on google maps.

    Yes, they will be open. Their hours vary depending on the time of year... The change will be times when they open and close. They are open everyday but Mondays with the exception of a Holiday Monday, where they are usually open...

    Being it is that late in October, I would think all the hunters that need to dial their guns in will already have it done... I wouldn't expect it to be awful busy...

    Count me in for both.

    Two of my favorite activities, eating and poking holes in paper. I'll bring a few of my toys. Always happy to share and let others experience a new firearm.

    Gotta at least bring:

    PS90
    PMR30
    M1 30 carbine Paratrooper
    AK (not sure which one yet)
    1911 (my first love)
    M&P 15 -22P
    LR 308

    That should keep me entertained.

    I am in for both. We get back from vacation Saturday so unless something comes up I will be at the diner. I will bring a 9mm for the person wanting someone to bring one for their girlfriend. I have a few things I have to part with that I will be bringing.

    Sunday October 23rd @ Roush shooting range.
    Meet at range at 1:00

    Some of us will also be meeting up beforehand to eat before heading to the range. For those interested in the meet and eat: it will be at Liberty Diner at the corner of Coliseum and Goshen at 11 am.

    Please post in this thread if you will be attending the meetup at Liberty Diner so we know how many to expect. If you are going to go straight to the range to meetup at 1 then please post in this thread that you will be at the range.

    Thank you to all that plan to attend. I am looking forward to catching up with some familiar faces and meeting a few new ones as well! :ingo:



    For those that have not been to Roush before:

    From Fort Wayne - I69S to exit #86 (Markle exit)
    Turn Right from offramp onto 224
    Continue West to 200 E. turn Left on 200 E.
    Go to 4-way stop and turn Right on 100 S.
    Continue West for 1 mi. and turn Right on 100 E.
    Take 100 E. until it ends at Division Rd.
    Cross Division Rd. and that is the range.

    For those that wish to Google it or MapQuest it for a visual as well the address is:
    517 N. Warren Rd.
    Huntington, IN 46750

    See you there!!! :rockwoot: :ar15:

    I'll try to make both. I'll bring the quick and the quiet.

    I would love to come but I can't commit till it's closer to the date, I won't know for sure till about a week before the shoot date. Sorry for the short notice, but it all depends on work schedule.
