No problem, and thanks!
IDEAL Fish & Game is right off Highway 33, just 1/4 mile inside the Churubusco city limits, when coming from Fort Wayne. It has a trap/skeet range and a rifle/pistol range that goes out to 100 yards. The only problem is the rifle/pistol range is downrange from the trap/skeet range; so, they can't both be used at the same time. It is, primarily, trap/skeet; so, check the schedules before showing up to shoot rifle/pistol.
Memberships are cheap: $25 per year (which covers family), and you may bring guests. There is, also, a VERY nice range house (courtesy of a generous grant from IN DNR), used primarily by the trap/skeet folks. Bring your own targets and stands for the rifle/pistol range, and be sure to clean up the area after shooting. Observe all gun safety rules, as there is no range master on duty.
From Fort Wayne, IDEAL is exactly 10 miles from the the I-69/33 interchange (exit 109); so, it is not that far, at all. Membership forms are available at Tomlinson's gun shop in Churubusco, or at the range when regularly scheduled trap/skeet shoots are running.
Hope this helps!
