I've been to this range a few times now. North end of Brookville Lake. Cross the Dunlapsville Road causeway just on the west side. Entrance to the Quakertown Rec area. The range is free but the gate fee is $4, and $5 on the weekend.
Jim Larkin is the rangemaster and runs a strict, but very friendly range. Paper targets only. 25 to 100 yard covered ranges. Nice benches. Clean up after yourself...(Don't worry, Jim will remind you!
)
Was just there today. This range facility needs more use. Jim tells me that the big DNR cheeses are looking for places to cut $$$. He's run this range for a few years now and has really cleaned it up and done much of the repair work. I said I would pay to shoot in addition to the $4 entry fee if that would keep it open.
My work takes me out to the Brookville-Connersville area so it has been a nice place to shoot at the end of the day. I'm still an hour and a half from Indy when it's time for me to leave, but that's not too bad. There is a nice beach area just a few yards down the road in the rec area. I thought I could bring the wifey and kids. Shoot a little, swim a little, chill out at the beach, have a picnic, everybody happy..Sounds fun.
Anyway, check it out!
