A gun range in Indiana?

Yoder · Mar 26, 2007

Does anyone know of a resource, website, or name of a gun range in Indiana where one could shoot a riffle out to 200 yds, a few handguns at various ranges, and a bow at various ranges. I drive 2 hours for riffle/muzzle loader shooting at 100 yards and pistols at 10-25-50 yards, 20 minutes for handguns at 25 yards, and currently 2.5 hours to "back home" to shoot my bow.

As a result my I cannot give any the attention they deserve, and my accuracy and presicion continue to decline. Any help would be helpful. I would like to stick to the West Side of Indianapolis or one location that could suit all needs,

The DNR Hunting Regulations book has a list of public ranges.

Go to one of the Galyan's. If you've got a real, live gun guy there, they'd know. Around here, the public hunting areas like Kingsbury, Winimac, and Willow Slough all have ranges. Dunno about Indy area, but I know Atterbury has some (or at least used to).

Hey Yoder

Welcome to The High Road. Where are you located? If it isn't too far Winimac has everything you want plus trap & skeet ranges. Thats assuming you are some where in the north west part of the state.
Missed that about Indy west side just saw the name and figured you were from near here.

Marion County Fish and Game in Speedway use to offer a lot of what your looking for... I love living in Southern Indiana now

Marion County Conservation Club on 136 on the westside does not allow centerfire rifle (as they are right in the middle of the city and have had pistol bullets leave the range).

200 yards might be otugh to find

Willow Slough has a 100 yard range that almost always has spaces open. They also have a 25 and 50 yard range. An archery target range with a raised platform (ala tree stand) and a trap range (BYO trap machine).

It's free, easy to get to and nicely kept up. The only restrictions are no auto or rapid fire and no .50 caliber, and an obligatory safety briefing by the RO.

There are a few other free Indiana park ranges too, I just can't remember the others at this point.

I know Crosley shooting range has up to 200 yds at their range. This would be in the southern part of state near North Vernon if I recall.

Yes, Jennings County, just south of the county seat, North Vernon (in Indiana North Vernon is south, and South Bend is north).

Beautiful down there. Decent range too.

Here's a in.gov list: http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/huntguide1/checkz.pdf
