INGO Group Shoot: Plan Here!

[Fenway]

Let's use this thread to organize an INGO day at the range. Wilbur Wright in New Castle has been mentioned as a possible location as well as Atterbury.

As long as Pami doesn't have to work, I'm sure you can count on both of us to attend.

On April 26th Pami and I are going to do an NRA basic handgun course at Atterbury.

 

[campbellrex]

where exactly is the range there? rex

 

[SME]

I am game for it if I don't have to work.

 

[Zephri]

we should try the range that pierce195 suggested.

 

[Fenway]

The nice thing about Wilbur Wright is that it's free!

 

[Zephri]

That's why I go there!

Where exactly is it? I'd love to not have to haul my ass down to Atterbury to shoot a rifle.

It's in New Castle off state road 103

2239 N. State Road 103, New Castle, IN 47362 • 765/529-9581

Here's the DNR's website for it if anyone's interested:
Welcome to the DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife Web Site

Looks like it's open 8-5 Wednesday - Sunday.

Count me in!

If you DL Google Earth, then all you have to do is type in address and it takes you right there. It looks like there is a 25 yard and a 50 yard range and room for 20 to 25 cars.

 

[Zephri]

There's also a small trap range there.

 

[am94pm]

I would be up for it. Wilbur Wright sounds good to me also.

 

[quicksdraw]

Sounds good to me, depending on the date.

 

[TomN]

I'm in depending on the date as well.

I'm going to our monthly meeting tonight... someone brought this up (a group shoot) when I posted my welcome post... (at the Danville conservation Club)

I brought it up to some of the guys on e-mail, but planning a shoot/get together will probably not be a problem.

The though was to charge $5 a head (our normal guest fee) and then provide hot dogs and soda, BYOSD (side dish)

We have a couple NRA RSO's (I took the test, but haven't sent it in yet) who could run people through the range... but depending on the number of people who show up or RSVP, and due to the size of our range (4 lanes) I invision this being more of a meet-and-greet than a "shoot".

We will take a look at the calendar tonight and see what is open. We could start at 9 or 10 am and go through lunch time and keep going till we're done... my idea is to have a "fun match" as opposed to a "open shoot."

15yd "BUG" slow fire - 10 shots (snub/compact class)
25yd "handgun" slow fire - 10 shots (sidearm class)
50yd "bullseye" pistol slow fire - 10 shots (any handgun)
100yd "rifle" slow fire - 5 shots off hand (iron sights class/optics class)

Me and the Mrs have been itching for a shooting time. Free is good, though cheap is okay, too. We're in for this weekend if possible!!

 

[Zephri]

Did somebody say hot dogs?????

 

[kludge]

Group shoot has ben nixed at DDC for the time being, too many irons in the fire right now.
