Gun ranges in Indy

[Beardown]

Not sure if this is the best place for this question. . .

I'm moving to the southern side of Indy tomorrow from Louisiana. I'm a looking for the best ranges in the Indy area, and particularly if any local ranges have steel to practice on. I'm not ready for any competitions yet, but I do want to have some steel to shoot at if possible.

Hands down, Beech Grove Firearms...20 lanes, clean, safe, good air, and monitored. Pops= no rifles, BGF = cut off is 300 winmag. Staff is much better to deal with than Pops.

I would just go south to Camp Atterbury. I have found the staff at both of the aforementioned ranges to not be friendly. Also, the prices are ridiculous. At family indoor shooting range, it would cost $24/hr for me and my wife to shoot. Also, you have to purchase ammo from them (that's what they told me). Camp Atterbury is $6/hr and has a friendly staff. If you're in South Indy, the travel time will be 20-25 mins, but that isn't bad if you consider how long it takes to get anywhere in Indianapolis.

BGF

Try them all and stay with the ones you are most comfortable with.

If you want to shoot indoors...BGF hands down!

 

[cmamath13]

BGF is by far my favorite place to shoot. Top notch facility and friendly/professional staff! They will continue to get my $, because they continue to offer the best environment for me to shoot.

Indy Trading post has 5 lanes and at $8 a half hour it's hard to beat. BGF is a really nice range but it's a little pricier than than ITP.. I would try them both and see which you like best.

Atterbury is cheap ($6/hr), and outside; unfortunately, range stoppages are a bit of a pain, and currently, if you want to rent, only have a Ruger .380 and no ammo.

It depends on what firearm you want to shoot. I like Marion County Fish & Game, but they only allow handgun calibers and shotguns. If you want to fire a .223, that would not work for you. Also, it is not all that close to the south side. But I live in Avon and it is only 15-20 mins. It is outdoors, but where you shoot from is covered. It requires a membership and yearly fee, unlike others that let you pay per shoot. Still, it is a nice place and feels comfortable. Haven't tried BGF, but it sounds like I should, maybe in the winter when it is too cold to shoot outdoors.

If you are NOT disabled you can apply to Atlanta C.C. outdoor range. If they find out you are disabled, disabled Vet here, they throw up one hurdle after another till you finally quit.

Being a Caucasian I have never experienced DISCRIMINATION before but man. When it happens its like a light going off. You KNOW what's happening.

I was there a week ago and they had ammo for every caliber, including .223.

edit: every caliber they have a space for.

Beech grove is nice. I used to go to pops but got tired of always having to wait in line not to mention their near non existant ventilation system causing me to sneeze black stuff most of the day....

I have yet to hear of anyone having to wait at beech grove and their ventilation system is computer controlled/ministerd if that tells you anything.

Aterbury is nice but the is to some clowns that have ruined it for everyone they watch you like a hawk, no rapid fire, rules are a bit strickter, cease fires can be annoying. Nice range though.

Its not down south but Highsmiths in greenfield has a nice range and the people are friendly also has memberships and group rates right downtown greenfield nice new store
