Gun Range in Anderson

[mdeshon]

I have a questions for those of you that live in or around anderson. When i was younger me, my dad and my grandpa used to go shooting at a range on Rangeline road just before mounds rd. does any one know who owns that now? the range and the house look in tact but it has a no trespassing sign up.

Didn't know that there was a range there. I belong to the Fall Creek Valley Conservation Club (south of Menards). If you are looking for a place to shoot, you might check them out. FCVCC.ORG

 

[mdeshon]

I sent an email to FCVCC a month or so ago for info about joining and never got a response, going to send one again. But if you get on Rangeline Rd heading north between the RR tracks and mounds rd on the left is where its at.

That range is ran by the Anderson Rifle and Pistol CLub. I belive they only exist in name though. I have tried email with no luck. I haven't seen any shooting out there in years but I do not go by it everyday.

As stated in a previous post check of Fall Creek Consevation CLub. 50 bucks a year. Pistol, rifle (everything but .50 BMG), trap/skeet, and archery. 100 yards with 200 yrds being discussed in last months meeting. New pistol program in the works plus more work to be done on the pistol range (auto retrieve targets).

That's the Anderson Rifle & Pistol Club, however if you are looking for an Anderson area shooting range to join, FCVCC (Fall Creek Valley Conservation Club) is the one I would recommend.

They are not the most computer savy you may wait a while for email. I would be glad to take you out, try it and get you an app. Just PM me and we can find the time.

Donn Bonner was the guy in charge of processing all of the membership applications and stuff, however I think he retired from that position a couple of months ago & I am not sure of who is in charge of doing it now, USMC might have more of an idea who's doing new member applications now than I would because I rarely go to club meetings.

I can tell you to not expect a response from them online. Everyone tells me to look at the calendar and stop in when there is an event happening.

fcvcc.org and you can print off an app. or you can stop by on a tuesday during trap and someone would be happy to assist you. as far as the range on rangline (thats funny right there) it is privately owned and i have heard stories that a.p.d. practices out the on occasions.

I have access to a pdf that has application. It is at home pc now but I can get it and email it tonight. Just PM email address. If you go on the second thursday of the month they have a new member orintation and you can join right then. Thats what I did. FALL CREEK VALLEY CONSERVATION CLUB Click on the welcome link and the calender can be found on that page.

APD got a authorized to build a new range on ridge road just a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks everyone ill just show up. last time i was at that range i was 10 or 11 im 28 now and my gpa has passed on since then so i did not know who to ask about it. I have not seen anyone out there and i go by there alot (i like to hike out at rangeline nature reserve) It will be nice to have a place to go with out driving 25min to wilbur wright.

Dave Sargent is in charge of memberships at FCVCC. His email is KE9XF@aol.com. There is the monthly members meeting tomorrow night at 6pm, if you would like to drop by then, i am sure that someone could help you out. All of the big wigs should be there at that time.

As for the email and website. I know that someone new is taking over the website (or was as of a couple of months ago). It looks like that the emails on the membership info page don't match dave's email at the bottom of the main page. Anyway I will be there tomorrow, if you would like to stop in. I would suggest maybe a couple of minutes early or closer to 7-730, when it should be getting over.

I noticed your Appleseed refference in your custom user title. Were you at the meeting when yellowhousejake came and made a presentation to host an Applseed at FCVCC? I was a little disappointed it didn't get scheaduled this year. The president seemed ready to make room on the calander but then it was tabled for later. Any thoughts on that? I was planning on comming Thursday also.

 

[thill]

we shoot on tue night around 3 pm 6 pm or sat morning prone 9 am to 12 stop by and talk to shooters. we only shoot 22 cal. too close to town for larger cal.

 

[xring62]

They DO have smallbore matches at the Anderson range but thats all. Not realy an active club with any regular shooting.

 

[mdeshon]

thanks everyone, ill be stopping in just moved to the area looking for people to shoot with and join up with a MSG

FCVCC Great guys just ignore the politics. Get a hold of Sarg, just don't mention tactical tupperware {Glocks} you'll learn more than you ever wanted to know. ARPC membership by invitation/nomination only, it's active but in a small way... Duce<><
