 | If you are not too awful far from Huntington, IN, the Roush Lake DNR range is similar to Atterbury but MUCH cheaper--$4 to shoot all day!, and no hidden fees or deposits. A new trap/skeet range is currently under construction. I take my Basic Pistol and Personal Protection in the Home students there for the range sections.

 | Thanks! That range is run by the DNR I believe? I wonder if since Atterbury is a private contractor they would be different?

| Finally got someone to answer the phone there. Rifle and pistol range open, shotgun closed for registered trap shoot. Taking my two sons today if anyone else is headed that way look me up. Will be wearing INGO hat!

 |  I'm glad to hear about the price and minimum hr. changes. As far as the RO's... I've only seen one (sawed-off short-sh*t cop wanna-be) being rude. And no... I'm not "special" however I will always vote with my money and I won't pay to be insulted. I'll probably return since the pricing adjustments.

| insulted If you were truley insulted by any employee you should have went up to the shotgun range and complained to the owner. I'm sure it would have been addressed. If you were yelled at over the P>A> system for doing something wrong thats a different story. When someone is handling a firearm or shooting baffles or pointing the muzzle any place but down range during a cease fire they will be yelled at and corrected. During the above situations there is not time to walk from one end of the range to the other to politely ask someone to please take your finger off the trigger and stop pointing the muzzle at the people next to you.

| The owner? If you were truley insulted by any employee you should have went up to the shotgun range and complained to the owner. With all due respect, I believe we are all the owners of this range. If there is someone there that considers himself the "owner" I would like to meet him!

| On a lighter note, I was very satisfied with our trip to Atterbury this past Sunday. RO's and all employees were very helpful and friendly. I have been one of the biggest critics of this range in the past and this experience has changed my thinking at least for now. My two son's and I had a great day. I'll post some pics this evening.
