Beech Grove. But, see quote above.
Why indoor? Too hot, bright, hours, allergies? Outdoor is nice. Eagle Creek has been a real pleasure and standing in shade.

Marion County Fish and Game is a great shooting facility. Although it is outdoors.

Exactly! Come on out to Eagle Creek Pistol Range, 5820 N. High School Road. The firing line is covered and we get a nice breeze through the range. We're fully supervised, with Range Safety Officers observing the firing line on a minimum 4:1 ratio of shooters to RSOs. (It's usually closer to 2:1.)
We supply targets, targets stands and tape. There's also an abundant supply of friendly advice on firearms and marksmanship - if you want it.
Our pricing is as follows:
2011 Season Pass (unlimited visits): $120
Ten-visit pass (no expiration): $75
Single All-day Pass: $25
All-day Pass (2 shooters on one lane): $40
One Hour Pass: $15
One Hour Pass (2 shooters on one lane): $20
We also have Red Star ammo from Premier Arms & Supply for sale on the premises in 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP.
We have 20 lanes available for public shooting, and I've yet to see all 20 lanes occupied, so there's never any waiting.
For additional information, and to see our Rules & Regulations, visit Eagle Creek Pistol Range.
We hope to see you at Eagle Creek!

I live in central Indianapolis and the closest indoor range I go to is Applied Ballistics in Layfayette. I don't go to Don's for obvious reasons and I went to Pops a few times, but had to wait 1+Hr to get into one of their 5 lanes. I'd rather drive to AB in 45 min and get a lane right away than drive 20 minutes to Pops and wait an hour. I know it still costs more of my time that way, but that's just how I work. As others have stated, Beech Grove is getting a large indoor range in the near future so hopefully I will be headed there for my indoor-range needs.
Honestly though, head out to Eagle Creek or get a membership at MCFG and enjoy the nice weather!

I agree with "GoDawgs", Applied Ballistics is a great indoor range. I live on the northwest side of Indy, so I get there in roughly 40 minutes. So if too hot or too cold, I'll go there.
As for ECPR, I've been there twice now, excellent experience both times. I live less then 4 minutes from it, so I'll be going again. Also purchased a couple of their day-passes a few weeks ago. Again, great place to shoot too.

I have went to Pop's several times and don't really have anything bad to say about them. I only had to wait one time and it was a long wait, so I can relate to GoDawgs. But all the other times I went, maybe 5 other times, there was no wait and I got a lane right away. I usually go during weekdays and sundays to avoid any lines. Pop's only allows handgun caliber firearms (up to 50AE I think), so its not bad for handgun shooting, but I think the range is a little short if you bring in a 22 or some other handgun caliber rifle. You can also rent handguns there and I think they have a decent collection. The only caveat is that you have to buy their ammo, which can be a little pricy.
Overall, I think you should check it out if you have time. I think it comes out to $23 an hour including tax to use a lane. I think Beech Grove will be better when its finished, but if you don't want to wait, I think Pop's will suffice.

I'm looking forward to heading out to Eagle Creek. I have been to Bullseye on SR31 a couple of times in Kokomo. They have 5-6 indoor lanes and fairly reasonable. Never had to wait. They don't seem overly friendly if you are not looking at buying a gun but not a bad option.
