I am looking for a place to shoot a AR50 in Northern Indiana..

I am looking for a place close to South Bend to shoot my AR-50 Legally. 300 plus yards would be awesome! Any Ideals. I want to make sure it is welcome where I go.

I believe you may be able to at Roush in Huntington. Only 100 yds though.

I know that a gentleman who was running for sherrif here, who passed away, let people fire 50 cal barret for a fundraiser.

Call and ask, and it's $4 all day.

Tagged, I too have been trying to find a place in northern Indiana to shoot long range. Longest I know of is kingsburys [STRIKE]200[/STRIKE] 100 yard range. Would be awesome to find a 1000 yard range or atleast 500 yards

Thanks! Double T

Hillside Shooting Sports has a rifle range that allows an AR50. They actually rent one. Their rifle range is out to 1000 yrds. also. It is a little far south of South Bend, but might be worth the trip to shoot some real distance. They are located in Roanoke just outside of Ft. Wayne. Roush does not allow 50 cal rifles.

Hillside has an excellent range and from everyone I've talked to it's a very friendly place to shoot.

If you don't want to drive that far you can check out Youngs. Youngs Long Shot Range

I've not heard of anyone personally going there though. I think its a bit closer for you though.

Bottom of the link posted says no 50 cal's. But does look like a nice 1000 yd. range.

Kingsbury is only a 100yd range

Might call Youngs Long Shot range for more information. It actually says no .50 Cal BMG's. Not sure if that is just full auto 50's or all 50's

I would say all 50 caliber. The official caliber is ".50 BMG" not to mean that it has to be a Browning Machine Gun, but that's the name of the round.

My bad, haven't been there in over a year. I was thinking about Winimac, they have a longer range which is 225yards.

Thanks for all the tips! I had to have the thing. Well maybe I should day my son said I "had" to have it! What a great kid! My 11 year old mini gun nut LOL!I bought the last 4 guns I have beacuse "I" needed them :-) He is 11 and says he won't shoot this one cuz it's to "big" But that is what he said about my 30-06. Second range trip he would not put it down. I think it will be a while on this one. Although he is a big boy!

Ask some farmer.

The range in Winamac, according to my understanding, does allow 50 caliber rifles to be fired. I went there one day and I saw a Baret 50 cal

 

[SethDennis]

The range in Winamac does allow .50's. I took a Barrett out there.

They do, I shoot my ba 50 there. I'm pretty sure jasper pulaski does also. 200 yd range.

A follow up:

I have permission from the range master at Howard Township Conservation club in Niles Michigan. It's about 20 minutes from my house. He said that there are several people that shoot them there. It is only 200 yards but it is better then nothing! I hope to have time to shoot it in the next several weeks!

The range is nice. They are set up for 25, 50 100 and 200. The people are nice!

Jasper Pulaski goes out to 200 yds, and you can shoot 50 BMG there. FYI.
