You're probably thinking about Young's Longshot Range just outside of Wolcottville. Youngs Long Shot Range

It's a private range with pistol targets, rimfire plates and steel plates out to 1,000 yards. They have indoor shooting stations with drop down windows. You can sit in a heated building and shoot out to 1,000 yards all winter long. They have about 20 covered outdoor stations and an elevated prone platform as well. They supply spotting scopes, shooting rests, sand bags, staples, cleaning equipment and a John Deere gator to run out and paint the targets. They even provide the paint.

Deb, the owners wife, makes home made cookies and keeps a fridge stocked with pop, water and snacks. The freezer is full of Hot Pockets and hamburger and porkburger patties. They provide a gas grille and a microwave.

Folks come from Indy, Chicago, Detroit, Evansville and Ohio. Some bring tents and camp out for the weekend. The range is in Amish country and has deer, wild turkeys and ground hogs all over the place. The guys from Trijicon in Wixom, MI do range testing there.

If you can't tell, I like the place. You can shoot as a guest of a member or become a member. It costs $300 the first year and then $200 a year after that. If you shoot very often at all, it is the best deal you can find.

You really owe it to yourself to check out Young's. I've told my wife many times that if Heaven doesn't have a range like theirs then........ Well you get the idea. It's the best range I've ever shot on in my life.

I took my wife up a couple Sundays ago just to show her the range and get a couple of Deb's Monster cookies. I told my wife that if anything ever happens to her, I'm selling everything, buying a huge RV and parking it up at Young's. Adams Lake is only about a mile south of there. I might keep a boat there and fish when I'm not shooting.

That sounds like a plan! Go fishing while the barrels cool down and the brass gets polished.

Geesh, is there any 200+ yard ranges SOUTH of Indianapolis and north of Evansville?

Seems no one wants to put in a little effort for the privilege to shoot 1000 yds the way the military does it, do they, Highmaster???

I wouldn't say that no one does. It wouldn't surprise me if we have more shooters at 1000 Sunday than we do xtc Saturday.
