    Generally I use my local indoor ranges for quick sighting in of my optics but I would like to get in some range time at longer distances (200 - 300 yards ideally).

    Does anyone have any recommendations north of Indy?

    I appreciate all the quick replies. Looks like multiple good options around 2 hrs away and Jasper-Pulaski would work for 200 yards and only about an hr away.

    I’ll start my plans with these. Thanks.

    Kingsbury only goes to 100 yards unless they changed it in the past year. One to check out would be Bend on the River Conservation Club. It's in Niles Michigan and requires a membership or friend of a member to shoot, but they do have a nice 300 yard range, as well as several smaller 50 yard bays. Definitely have to say 100 yards is easy compared to 300.

    I remember Kingsbury only being 100.

    I’d rather keep it inside the state considering some of the items I plan on shooting.

    My mistake, I think you're right and Kingsbury only goes to 100.

    Winimac has a 200

    And I think I remember Willow Slough as 200, though I could be wrong.

    Just tried looking on the IN.gov webpage.
    Of course I DIDN'T see a description of the ranges.

    Of course.
    Why would they think that's pertinent.

    I feel like a NWI Meet and Shoot is In order. I've got quite a few I need to sight in
    I would absolutely be down for that. I’ve been in and out of here for the past 10 yrs and aside from some sales and trades haven’t really met anyone offline.

    Moved a few times and and married with a few kids over that time explains most likely why.

    Keep an eye on the NWI thread linked below. Usually a feeler is started there on getting together for a meet and shoot. I'll see if I can't organize one for sometime in May. We usually do Winamac for meet n shoots
