At Frindship there is an NRA steel range. it is 200=300-400-500 meters respectivly.

So the 500 meter is about 550 yards. Hoever it is black powder only.....

Young's Long Shot is 1000 yards, but I haven't paid them a visit yet.

Souher Indiana R&P club is 500 yards

Youngs is $300 for the first year and $200 per year after that and you also have to be a member of the NRA to join. They have a heated building with provided lead sleads, chronos, a gator to check targets, spotting scopes, and steel targets throughout their range. Definitely worth it if you are into long range shooting.

I'm from cass county and I'm shooting .243 and 7.62x54r for range


Backtrail: that sounds awesome but just a little pricey

 

[sloughfoot]

Wow, I had no idea that Youngs was that expensive. It only costs 20 to 30 dollars to shoot a 1000 yard match at Camp Atterbury or Camp Perry.

Plus you get target pullers and quick feedback on your hits at a match. In other words, meaningful feedback.

So at Youngs, you shoot some shots at a target, then the line is called cold, you "gater" on down to check your target? So what do you do if you have no hits? What do you adjust off of? Do you even have a spotter behind you to help you out?

Sounds like an exercise in frustration to me.

I guess its a way for someone to make some money if he doesn't feel like farming I guess.

I am not a member. The owner of Flint Gunshop helps process membership and gave me details. I don't know if there are even people there all the time or not but I would guess you would have to bring along a friend for spotting but don't quote me. As far as the when the range goes cold I would guess if you're not shooting steel then whoever is on the line would have to agree when to go cold to go check targets. I believe he said there are around 200 members but not for sure it has been a few months since I talked to him. To me it wouldn't be bad since I'm twenty minutes away and could shoot there regularly. So if I go 10 times a year it would be approximatley the same as atterbury.
