Props to Marion Country Fish and Game

I have been traveling for the past few weeks and finally made it back over to MCFG today and boy was I impressed. Last time I was out there they had the new bays open but no tables or targets.

Today when I pulled in I immediately noticed new benches, a few target stands and STEEL!!!

Props to the board members, volunteers and members who have donated their time, money and hard work to provide the best range in the Indy area

Thanks for the kind words Slacker. We are doing our very best to make MCFG the best that it can be. There are many thanks that need to go out to both the board and members for bringing the new shooting bays into service.

The new shootings bays rock!

Thanks to everyone that made it happen.

I'll throw a big +1 in here as well. I met que and cru there yesterday. Its a really nice place and lots of room. I had a blast.

 

[g00n24]

What are the ranges (yards) in the bays? any restriction on time between shots?

Bays are 25 meters deep and no restrictions on shots, go full retard if you want

LOL! I would just like a place I can work on double taps for USPSA practice...can't really be done at atterbury

I get in trouble everywhere

 

[VUPDblue]

You can work on double taps at MCFG, there is no rule against firing shots under any certain time restriction. I was just out there on Thursday practicing target transitions and running my quiet .22 against some steel. I burned up a 550 brick in about an hour and a half...no slowfire for me!

I wish I would have had your # last night!!

But yeah, I have done steel training set ups in the bays, and as long as you don't do anything stupid, you should be fine!

If you want my number, it is posted on the MCFG web site under the Board of Directors section...

Hey Cru- I wouldn't be hesitant to address safety concerns with someone.

First and foremost I don't want any extra holes and secondly if someone hurts themselves and sues we are screwed out of a excellent range.

It can be done politely and even if someone takes it personal that's tough cookies.

Yes, I have learned the proper procedure now! I'm pretty sure the issue is being taken care of.

 

[VUPDblue]

Rest assured that the board takes safety or rule violations very seriously. We do depend on our members to police the range, so if you see a rule violation please speak up! There are forms by the sign-in sheet for you to report rule violations. The few times I've had to confront members about violations they have been very apologetic and polite. I would suggest simply talking in a respectful manner to a potential rule-violator and letting them know what they are doing wrong. If the situation escalates, fill out the form or phone a board member.

Do you guys ever have an "open house" where non-members can come in for a day and shoot. Not an organized event, just a kind of free to the public for a day, like a try before you buy? Thanks.

 

[VUPDblue]

No, we have never done that before. I'd be happy to give you a tour some day but if you want to shoot it'll cost ya the guest fee!

 

[Biohazard]

sounds reasonable. i'd like to take u up on that sometime. sometime b4 the weather does an ice-age imitation.
