In the process of closing on property in Starke county

Welcome to the neighborhood Sheepdog, I'm just NE of Knox, not far from rb288 it sounds like

When I was a kid (35-40 years ago) a friend of my dad would take us shooting at a range/gun club he was a member of near Knox. As best as I recall it was a rifle and pistol range and that they shot metallic silhouette there. I really can not remember where it was exactly, but I remember it being a nice facility.

Does anyone remember this place and is it still operating?

Yep it's still there Whip McCord is involved with some matches at this location

NE of Knox seems to be a popular area...are you guys out in "Redbrush Territory"?

I might know a gal who lives out that way.....

I know a mean woman who lives NE of Knox, won't share any home made bread or cookies

 

[mom45]

Oh...I don't know that one.....

Shameless Plug! My 80 year old dad sells fire wood if you happen to need any

I'm not quite Redbrush, just south of Hamlet. Take the golf cart through Redbrush area quite a bit though.

Over 30 years ago, i lived just off Bass Lake for around 6 months or so. Then we moved into town for a year before moving again. The Bass Lake area was nice.

In 2000 they actually put a sanitary line around the entire lake. But you would be shocked. All the lake shacks are gone and it's high dollar housing now on the North side. I would have never thought growing up there it would become what it has. I always thought I would buy a small place to summer at and stay when I visit family. Not now sadly.

Lots of tax money comes to the county from that area.

If you are right by Sporty's, it should be on their sewer system.

Are you east of them? I don't see that as an area where you are going to be able to safely target shoot unless you are a bit further out. I thought Purdue owned much of what is east of them. Hmmmm....need to look at the GIS map now.

sent you a PM

 

[mom45]

Thanks. I don't think you'll have issues there with target shooting with a good backstop. It looks like you have plenty of room.

Are you on 675 at the curves or out by the cemetery?
