Decent Range in NorthWest Indiana?

[Kick]

I have been living in NWI since I was in High School. I have used Deb's in Hammond, the range in the Crown Point square (it's closed now and I cannot remember the name), and joined the Griffith Issac Walton.

I am honestly not impressed by any of these ranges. They are what is to be expected of a range but, I am looking for something a little more.

Does anyone belong to a club or know of a range that does not confine you to "bench shooting" and you do not have to be in constant fear of the person shooting in the "stall" next to you.

I am looking for somewhere that I can actually train and/or practice they way I have been trained. i.e. "if you are not shooting, you are moving". I was looking at the North Porter County Conservation Club but, their on-line info is very limited and I do not have the time currently to go out there and check it out.

I have lived in NWI all my life, and i have never heard of a public or private range that allows run and gun stuff. if i were you, i would make friends with a farmer that has lots of hills.

honestly as far as just a decent range for bench or prone shooting, Jasper Polaski is the best bet.

I belong to North Porter County Conservation Club. It was exactly what I was looking for. There are several separate bays, a trap range, and a 100yd rifle range. Move and shoot is no issue, as long as you do it within club guidelines. If you have the ability to go to the range off peak (I go Monday mornings) you will probably be able to have a bay to yourself. I usually work in the bay that has plate racks, and set up 3 or 4 target stands. There is also steel available. I have been really happy with it.

More north central than north west and perhaps further south than you would prefer but our club allows you do do just about any drills you can come up with as long as your bullets stay on the range. And at $35.00 a year dues it it quite affordable as well...

That's where I usually go. If there isn't anyone else on the range (at the 50 yard or whatever) I ususally do movement drills and have never had a problem. If you go on wa weekend, though, it isn't likely you'll have the range to yourself.

I also belong to North Porter County CC and unless you are going on the weekends there is hardly ever anyone else there. I think the busiest I have seen it was two MAYBE three other shooters in other bays shooting.
