Kingsbury DNR range is a little south of South Bend. I think it is about $4 for the day.

Speaking of outdoor ranges, the Minihaha(I probably misspelled that) has a range, do you have to have a permit to carry to shoot there?

Check out Young's long shot just east of you - 50 to 1000yrd - steel plates every target zone - clubhouse with 5 indoor shooting stations and a second floor prone area - it is private but you're close enough to take advantage of it - I'm 3hrs away and still love the place -

I a member at St Joseph Restoration Club and love it. They have three ranges: 25 yr Pistol, skeet and 100 yr rifle. I shoot mainly pistol, although I occasionally take out the AR. Yes there is a yearly fee. No, it is not prorated by month. Yes it is worth it. You get and key and can go anytime the range is open, unlock the gate and blast away. Lock on your way out.

Can't help you there. There maybe something at grissom.

REALLY??? you posted something just to say that you have nothing to say? Can we say "trying to get to 50"?

When you go to this range, or any outdoor range, do they already have targets set up at 25yards or can you walk down the lane and set up your own at whatever distance you prefer to gain proficiency?

(asking because I haven't been to an outdoor range before)

Its different for all ranges. Some let you set up targets at any distance in you lane. Some want it right up against built in berms. Most of them you have to bring your own targets though.

You provide your own targets at SJCRC. The pistol range has no club provided target stands, but there are usually some left by others. You must shoot from the firing line. The rifle/other range has backstops at 25/50/100 yds. All targets must be on or at the backstops. If no other shooters on the line, you may move up closer to fire. The club does provide targets and stands for shooting matches.

On a side note, I dont live anywhere near the SJRC but i have a couple friends that do and did belong to it. It is a very nice range that is well kept. Their "pistol pit" is nice with deep dug in berms. The rifle range is very nice and covered for those days when the weather isnt going along with your plans. I didnt shoot skeet there but the space for it looked very nice.

Looks like a great place, and within an hour of Ft Wayne. It may be a little far, and it requires membership, so it may not be what you are looking for. Good info on the website, but its missing membership pricing info.
