    Hi all I have moved and left my happy home with multiply ranges (pistol and a 400yd Rifle) behind. I live in Evansville IN. I am looking at getting a membership to redbrush or Daniel boone Gun club. But do not know which one to go with. So please sound off and tell me you opinion on both or just the one you like and why.

    Thanks for helping

    Both are excellent ranges and are different enough to make it an easy choice as I think they cater to different folks. I belong to Redbrush and shoot often at Daniel Boone with a friend. My humble pros and cons are as follows:

    Daniel Boone: Pros - closer to Evansville than Redbrush by about 15 minutes or so, well maintained, small clay thrower on site for general use, good helpful folk and a social atmosphere, frequent pistol and rifle target matches. Cons - Single large bay means lots of cease fires for people to go down range, 200 yard max range, limited bench space for rifles, firing lines at 25yds and 50yds tough to work around for closer pistol shooting, porta-potties.

    Redbrush: Pros - large rifle range out to 375 yds with 500 yds opened several times a year, 4-5 seperate pistol bays, up to 100 yards, means often you will have a bay to yourself, movable target stands, bathrooms, anything goes gun wise except no .50 bmg, monthly cowboy, sub-gun, steel, ipsc shoots and weekly steel and bowling pins in april-october, Cons - 25-30 minutes from the east side of Evansville.

    Is the Evansville Gun Club still open?

    It was up in southern Gibson County, mostly shotgun and skeet I think.

    The Pike county Bird Hunters Club has some shotgun stuff once in awhile from what I have heard also.

    :dunno:

    There's WSSC as well.
    Not the longest range, but the people and the shoots make up for it.
    They're taking an extra 100 members next year.

    I belong to the Evansville gun club. It is a shotgun range but I heard they may be putting in a pistol range.


    they used to have one (a few years ago at least) but harold (the owner) said it was leased to the warrick county sheriff's dept and couldnt be used, and before that it was only open to club members, but all the shotgun ranges are open to the public (or at least they used to be)

    Red Brush is a great club; all clubs mentioned are great but for different reasons.

    I live close to Red Brush. Even if I lived on the east side of Evansville I would still consider Red Brush to be the premier gun range based on facility attributes.

    It only cost $5.00 a month if performing the work day once a year.

    There are plenty of matches to participate in. There are plenty of training programs that use the Red Brush facility and are open to club members and general public (tuition classes.)

    Strictly is a nice range but cost $9.00 a half hour or more compared to $5.00 a month at Red Brush. The hours at Red Brush are 6am-10:30pm Sunday-Thursday, and 6am-12am Friday & Saturday and you are supplied the combination to the entrance.
