Tippecanoe county conservation club

[Mgderf]

Is anyone here a member of TCCC?
They put in a small gun range last year and I'm considering joining but can't find a lot of information.
I'd like to know if there are caliber restrictions.
They have a pistol range and two 100 yard rifle lanes but there is woefully little other information available on their website.

 

[Mgderf]

Ask, and ye shall receive.
I was just contacted by another Ingo'er with all the information I was seeking.
If anyone around the Tippecanoe county area is looking for a local place to shoot, you need to check out the T.C.C.C.
$100/ year membership for singles and $125 for a household!
The ranges are very rudimentary but they have a pistol range and two 100 yard rifle lanes.
No benches or roofs, and right now no grass.
It's a work in progress but looks promising to me.
I am close enough to get there in 5 minutes if I can clear one stoplight.
I plan to sign up for a single membership and a buddy down the road will go for a household.
This club sits on the Wildcat river and fishing in the area is decent most of the year.
I've fished the same area for catfish for more than 30 years and always had good luck.
I'm sure this place could use a few more paying members, so if you're interested, look into it for yourself.

Can't you ride a bike there? (I guess we both could)

I could, but I wouldn't.
St. Rd. 25 is NOT a bicycle track.
You'd have to have a death wish to ride a bike there.

@Mgderf , do you know if the rifle range a rimfire only range?

I do know, and no, it is not rimfire only.
I was told .30-06 is acceptable.
Didn't ask about 50 BMG because I don't have one.

Looks like I'll be checking this place out. Thanks for the heads up Mgderf

One caveat that I failed to mention.
I talked to the guy who signs people up for memberships and he told me that all members must have passed some type of background check.
Examples being, but not limited to:
License to carry handgun
Military service
Police service

It will not be an issue for me so it sort of slipped my mind when describing above.
The sign up guy said they want to copy your photo I.D. and LTCH
I do not find this unreasonable.

Beat me to it.

I didn't go there when I was at Purdue because I was told there was management/leadership drama. But that was back in the 2010s so it's been a while, I'm sure things have changed if current members say it's good to go. I just remember the appeal was there was distance of more than 50 yards

Membership applications being accepted on Wednesdays between 6-7pm

 

[Kirk Freeman]

I was invited to apply today. Need copy of militree service, LTCH and training class cert. Don't know which, just give them all 3 and get signed up.

Thanks, Mgderf. I've only lived here since 1995, lol, need to get out more.

I took theses pics back in december

I signed up this evening, and I was not the only new member to join today.
Also found out that they have an archery range as well.

I'll be moving to Lafayette at the end of October. Not sure how long I will be there but this is only 9 minutes from my future place. I will have to look into it for sure.

I am Member #182.

Mgderf and I got to take a self-guided walking tour. Exceeded my expectations by far.

$8.33 a month is a deal! Thanks, Mgderf, glad you reported on this.
