Need support for a new range on the West Side of INDY

[rnmcguire]

I'm in if this is actually gonna happen. This thread was started a year and 1/2 ago. I would love a range on the west side.

IN if your serious about a rifle range. That's the one thong I don't like about MCFG

IN!!!!

 

[lutes85]

Couldn't agree more. If MCFG allowed rifle I wouldn't even worry about a new range, but unfortunately for us on the west side of Indy there is pretty much nowhere reasonably close to shoot rifle.

 

[GIJEW]

IN!! If you can get about a dozen firing points on the rifle range (center-fire ammo I'm sure) you'll have a venue for CMP/NRA high power competitions--something unavailable in the donut counties I think.

How big would the indoor range be? I bet it would be full during the winter

Westsider - do you have a place where AR type can be fired?

 

[Excalibur]

See, why can't someone build a range rated for shotguns and rifles closer to Northwest Indiana where I am at? I want to not drive down a good chunk of the state to get to a suitable range.

No, I have a membership at MCFG and have been very happy with it, but they don't allow centerfire rifle. Eagle Creek is another good range here on the west side, but again, no rifle allowed. Sometimes I wish I lived out in a rural setting where I had enough land I could just build my own pistol and rifle range.

Then I drive by a gas station and I'm reminded why I don't.

Sounds great! Maybe closer to Danville - I could then promise more active shooting from me, keep the price competitive! Does anyone know of a well established gunsmith?

 

[acyork50]

Looking for reliable gunsmith!

not to burst any bubbles. i see an outdoor range in the area you say, very hard if not impossible. Most of plainfield, avon, and brownsburg is personal land. danville has a range the was in the middle of no-where when built, now in in the heart of town. brownsburg conservation club was sued for noise, and other thing just a few years ago. thus they ran out of money and can only shoot trap. with the rapid expasnion of the area. a good place for the range would be in the fayette area of boone county. or in between morresvile and Monrovia.
Bob cheeks range was put off limits to the public by land owners around him out in putnam county.

you could go out west say new winchester area.

I am member at MCFG and like it well enough but as stated...no center fire rifle. I understand why but it is not an all around range for this reason.
I met ingo member Spunky at Eagle creek early this morning (Sunday) and had a very enjoyable time there. Not been there in years as never had a good time there in the past. Totally different now. Again...pistol calibers and rimfire only. I do believe they are trying to get permits for center fire at least in .223 and the likes. No real distance (60 yds.) but not bad for M-4 and the like.

Yeah no doubt about the gas station. I called MCGF, and all sounded good until i asked about .223.... BUMMER!!! I'm like you wish I just enough land to make some noise. How serious is this thread about a new range on the West side? Seems like was started months ago.

 

[nipprdog]

Is this still on the table or did it get scrapped?

Good point, since it's been 6 months.

Since it's been a year, is it safe to assume that this is a dead topic now?
