I like to go to elwood... nice people and cheap fees

To those of you in Greenwood - Where do you usually go? I'd prefer to do something outdoors... but I guess my first shooting experience can be at an indoor range. Probably bring a friend along.

What sorts of expenses should I expect?

Thanks for the list. I've been looking for area shooting ranges for safer target practice.

Going to be camping down at Clifty sometime soon. Any ranges around Hanover/Madison that anyone would recommend ? Pistol and rifle please.

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!

+1 for Quakertown. I live in Lawrenceburg and after checking out the nearby Indiana ranges, I joined Fairfield Sportsmans Club in Ohio. I go there at least once a week. It is the closest, about 20 miles. When I shoot high power rifle, I prefer Quakertown, about 45 miles. Sometimes I go to Crosley, about 55 miles.

I've been going to the Kingsbury FWA range. $4 for the day and the had several 25 yard pistol, several 50 yard rifle, and a couple 100 yard rifle. They also have a clay shooting area. The Range master, John, everytime I've been there has been a good person to work with and ask questions of. I'm a fairly new shooter. It's a nice clean, safe, a decent place to shoot.
