Are they camping out at the gate yet?

Nobody there yesterday...

LOL. If I hit the lottery, I'm buying property and building a house as close as possible to the gate and charging people to camp in the front yard!

I can help you with that.

Won't know for sure till the renewals are complete on 12/26 but you may be correct.

Did you see they are planning a 4th pistol range?

Did not see it, where is that info?

Went out briefly this morning to test a load, surprised how busy it was for a Monday at 11:00

Must be Christmas on INGO the Martinsville thread is up. As to the soccer pic, turf burn, wish they had that stuff when I played.

New info on the website, looks like no new members.

I think that means Full for 2015, not for 2016. the 2016 dead line for renew is Christmas Eve, 2015.

so you suckers are still have a chance.

My check was mailed about a week ago, and has not been cashed. If they do the auction route again I may check it out and see what $$$$ it brings to the 4H club.

Ahhhh, 'tis that time again...this thread has become a true Christmas tradition we've all come to know and love.

Yes, website was updated with some new info a few days ago (I know because I updated it)

1) YES, we will be building a fourth, even larger pistol range over winter/spring 2016...location will be aligned side by side with the two rear pistol ranges and it is tentatively planned to be 50 yards wide, 50 yards long with protective berms on both sides/hillside impact zone and small creek to the rear.

2) We "may" not be admitting ANY new members Jan 1, 2016 vs. what we have done in the past. Renewal rate for existing memberships is expected to be very high and we actually want to whittle the numbers down a bit after adding extra memberships last year (the auction that benefited 4H shooting sports). BUT, this won't be confirmed until Dec. 26th after our Dec. 25th deadline for renewals has passed. Our plans will be confirmed on our website and this forum on 12/26.

thanks,
Roger for the Board

Anyone going to try and get a membership this year? Havent seen any threads regarding it and the first of the year will be here before you know it.

glad this popped up here. Got the renewal and set it aside and forgot it. Now I am pulling it out and sending a check today

Scooped! I believe the "young'uns" would say "powned": https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/break-room/397641-too-early-start-annual-whining-about.html

Sure is nice going to the range on a ~50F Friday night and not seeing another soul except for the guys leaving as we were coming in. People who are not members hate the 500 people limit, but as a member, I love it.

 

[ColdSteel223]

My check cleared. Good for another year.

 

[SAILORGOLF46]

I think this will be my 5 th year, wish I would joined many years ago. Wonderful place to spend a afternoon and it gets better every year. The Board of Directors do a great job with continued improvements.

Clarification...we have a 500 FAMILY limit...mom, dad and kids under 18 in the same household. So we technically have more potential shooters than 500 guys, though as noted, there is usually plenty of space for all who want to shoot without waiting on lanes. Yes, we like it that way! I was out to the club myself on Friday shooting for 2 hour and only saw 2 other shooters in the whole place.

People should demand a path to membership (note if I have to put this in purple, well you know)

I think if you sneak in illegally across Indian Creek, and have a baby, you're automatically a member.

If you have an EBT card, you should be able to use it for gate access.

 

[DRob]

I would like to be a member and the membership limit is the #1 reason. I just don't want to be a member bad enough to camp for two days at the gate.

This annual thread is great from a spectator's point of view.

Oh come on, two days? 14, 16 hours tops!

 

[dieselrealtor]

My best guess is 16 hours minimum could be 24+, depending on line up rules & how many slots (if any) become available.

Maybe we should start a poll?
