Atterbury SUCKS !!!!!!!!

[Turtle]

Can't you just sucker-punch him and run screaming into the woods?

Can you run faster than a speeding bullet?

 

[Scutter01]

Can you run faster than a speeding bullet?

I don't know. I've never tried.

 

[ihateiraq]

lol. its almost worth finding out.

 

[sporter]

Remember when you just showed up and shot at Atterbury for free? Ah, the good old days. . . (not that long ago)

Hell yeah. Never had any problems with the old range.

 

[Keith_Indy]

Well, if you all are willing to stand by what you say, you can contact the DNR here DNR: Contact Us

If they don't know there's a problem, they can't fix it.

Attb. pricing???

I have since lost the link, but when the new range plans were being formed the fees were posted and it was like a couple bucks an hour, no minimum, targets, ear plugs sold to just make a profit etc....

How it turned into what it is today..... ??? Thats why I dont want our govt. running the health care system!!!

People should boycott the range and send mass emailings, phone calls and letters to the DNR about the over inflated prices of our range that was built with our tax dollars!!!

Im glad that I have been a member at The Martinsville Consv. Club since the '80s..... I fish at Attb. but I refuse to pay to shoot there.

 

[cosermann]

Yeah, and the place was a dump and you were as likely to get shot by your neighbor as the targets were.

Granted, the place was, shall we say, "unimproved."

I never had a problem w/safety, however. Whenever I was there (which was not infrequently), the folks on the line did a good job watching out for each other. Maybe I got lucky or the situation deteriorated over the years? (I moved a way circa '98.) I don't know.

But, I'd gladly go back to how it was then over what it has become.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

I'm under the impression that the DNR no longer controls/manages the range... That it's now a private venture?

Of course, I'm probably incorrect.

There's a place in Jennings County called Crossley and its free all year round. All you have to do is sign a waiver card. Thats where I go when there is nowhere else to go.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dont be telling everyone about the best kept free range

 

[Zephri]

The last few times I went to Atterbury after they "made it better" were absolutely no fun I left halfway in and told the guy at the counter I'd never be back again. I always go to wilbur wright in Newcastle now, free range, lots of nice people, nice open spaces with nature trees ect, and no concrete bunker. Not to mention the range master is a very nice guy.

This is where I go. Its not a bad place to shoot. It can get crowded sometimes but its still better than alot of ranges.

Glad to see other people finally standing up. When they upped the prices the first time we were complaining. Their reason for the increased prices the last time was that people were shooting up there target bases and baffles and stuff...... DUH.... Don't you have a range officer there! That should be part of what he does, stop that from happening.
Prices went up anyway.

 

[flightsimmer]

I gave up on Atterbury a long time ago. Will never go back.

 

[doublebarrel]

The hourly rate drop is great news. Last time me and wife went there when EC was closed, I think I forked out $37 or $38 for the two of us, two lanes (they don't count two people shooting on one lane as single usage), for two hours (minimum required). Now it's more attractive to me, if I got an itch that must be scratched (or when gas price makes the 50-mile drive seem cheap to me)...

 

[marv]

Atterbury sucked when I was stationed there in '53 too.

 

[turnandshoot4]

I'm so glad I have JP.

 

[Richard]

Fall Creek Valley Conservation Club is only like 40 bucks a year (45 for family membership) w/1 dollar range fee (all day) but they do have a one time orientation fee of ummm I cant remember but I am thinking it was around 95 bucks for the first year membership when I joined or something like that.

Anyway I've been a member at FCVCC for 7 or 8 years and I really like it.

 

[ccordray]

That's pretty high dollar for Atterbury...

 

[SavageEagle]

Well hell, I'm looking for a good place to sight in my AR and shoot my .30-30 on Sunday. I have no money for a membership this month, but I really like Riley.
