New shooting range/conservation club NWI

[Gabriel]

I liked the pic of the offroad course, a stock SUV driving down a steep asphalt path.

Which is a photo from somewhere out west judging from the shrubbery and sand.

Too Gucci for me and for that kind of coin I could be making a payment on my own land. Put an old camper out there shoot, blow stuff up and drive whatever wherever. Spit and pee off the front porch.

Absolutely. You also wouldn't have to deal with bull**** rules and other people at all.

Looks like something I would be happy to join. Not sure about the $1,000 fee, but the membership of $1,000 seems reasonable. I think I would rather wait till it is up and running and then just spend the extra couple bucks. Thats just me. I signed up for more info too though.

After reading post#25, he might have been confused by the phone number.

But why is taking firearms to Illinois a NO NO?

I have no idea. But I've learned not to try to apply logic to any of spike's posts.

Interesting concept, and I might be interested. I did email them that I could help proofread their website; found 2 typos (grammer errors) in just two sentences on their homepage. Might sound silly, but if I were building a major facility with a website, I'd make sure it was perfect.

I noticed that too. I thought you might be writing for them.

A few years ago, our club had a chance to buy a little land but it meant increasing dues from $70 to $100 a year. You'd be surprised at how many "slob shooters" we (thankfully) lost. I understand high prices for a high level membership club....they want to bring the wife & kids and having people pee from the porch just isn't cool. Good luck to them.

Been tried before. Pass

I asked a lifelong Newton County resident who is also a 20+ year Law enforcement officer. He had not heard anything about it. He was going to ask around. I would not be interested in membership, but curious who is backing it.

Why ... I oughta ...

Hey, I know I get a little shaky after Turkey Time, but before that, my grammar's pretty tight.

P.s; did I misspell grammar the first time, or second time?

I'm interested to hear what you learn.

I did a small bit of online sleuthing and couldn't find any property records, zoning variances or any other records that might indicate an actual LLC presence in Newton County.
I think I located the property, but nothing showing a transfer of ownership (yet?)

I hope the shooting knowledge is better than the forestry knowledge. There are repeated references to "hardwoods" while pointing to and walking through a stand of planted pines.
I'm not sure the homeowners down range (~600y) are going to be very forgiving about bullets leaving the property. It certainly doesn't look vacant or ignorant of firearms safety.

I am up north, but at those prices I will stick with shooting at the Winamac FWA for free.

from my understanding it will be in Lake Village IN and the owner of the company is building his residence on the property also. they are in the process of rezoning for the business.
