Looking for a Private Range to Join

[mlzoiss]

We are fairly new shooters and took a couple of classes, one that shot at Atlanta Conservation Club, the other at ECPR. I have also read about MCFG. If you are members at a private range, how did you choose the range? Which ones do you like the best in the central Indiana area?

I like a range where there arent rules againts working from the holster and moving around a bit. I also like a range where no one else is around when I go.

I chose MCF&G because it was the only place in the city that I knew of?

Eagle Creek Pistol Range

everywhere else are indoor ranges and not really worth the $$ IMO

The only way to really tell is to go to the different ones and choose the one that fits your comfort level the best. I went to ECPR early this morning before it got crowded and had a great time. I got to shoot some other people's pistols, they got to shoot mine, and had some pretty informative gun talks as well.

I'm new to the area but I'm sure I'll be joining at least two clubs, ECPR and MCFG. Just to clarify, these are the only two I've been to and they are pretty close to me. I'm sure the other clubs in the area are pretty good also.

Well, let's see. You're in Carmel so you have 2 reasonably close. ACC (which you've been to) and Hamilton County Fish and Game in Noblesville.

Hamilton County Fish & Game - Welcome!

I'm in Fishers and I chose MCFG for a few reasons.

Because of my proximity to I-69, it's as quick for me to access as Atlanta or Hamilton.

I like to shoot Steel and Bowling Pins and over the course of a year the member discount at matches almost pays my membership dues.

It was a little less expensive than the two above, and a few less requirements to join.

Downsides, no holster work, no center fire rifle calibers to speak of allowed (PCR ok), road in has become impassable after really nasty weather.

Fall Creek Valley Conservation Club is worth a look as a place you can shoot your AR and AK. Very inexpensive per year.

Anything in the Southern In. area? I live in Spencer county.

I think it depends on the features that you desire in a range. Atlanta was a good choice for us due to the ability to do draw from the holster, set up multiple targets and have a shooting bay to ourselves. That being said the membership requirements are a bit more demanding than some of the other Conservation clubs.
