Just made contact with Don, and we are on the books.
I know Beowulf has typically organized these things recently, but I know life has him pretty busy and he doesn’t get on here much.
Don is allowing us to use the SOUTH Valley at their range to INGO for a FREE Open House Shoot on Saturday, November 2 2024 between 10AM and 4PM. This is free to all INGO members. Hopefully you will find it a great resource and become a member so you can return again.
For these Open Houses, Don allows stuff that most ranges don’t (for this event only), like Tannerite and even black powder artillery, as long as we are courteous and clean up after ourselves. We have always done well so, lets keep it up so we continue to get invited back. ProTEQ is an awesome facility, and worth the drive.
Important Note for 2024: Due to some non-INGO attendees not following rules in past events, ProTEQ wanted me to make it clear that this event is just for INGO members and their families. we don't believe the troublemakers were connected with any of the regular INGO members that were attending (and we don't think they were INGO members), but lets just be careful so we can keep enjoying this fun tradition. And to prevent abuse, you need to be signed up for an INGO account no later than 10/1/24, or are sponsored by an INGO member in good standing in attendance. INGO usernames will need to be listed on the sign in sheet.
In the past, there have been issues with people using rifles in the pistol bays, causing damage (not during one of our events thankfully). So a reminder, the reactive bays are for PISTOL CALIBER WEAPONS ONLY.
How to get there:
ProTEQ is just north of Brazil, IN in the western part of the state.
Street address is:
3057 W County Rd 1200 N, Brazil, IN 47834
Website:
proteq.us
We will be in the SOUTH valley. The entrance to the south valley is on 300W just south of 1200N.

What to do?
• NFA items are allowed. Just make sure you are safe and watch the muzzle rise. Safety first!
• We will have a 150 yard rifle range at our disposal. There is a 12" gong at the extreme end, and target stands at 50/100/150 Bring a target stand if you want one anywhere else. Just make sure you properly align them so you are impacting the berm and not shooting over it or skipping rounds over it)
• There is a covered pistol range for some handgun fun.
• There is a rimfire bay with lots of steel targets for fun.
• There are several re-active target bays (formerly the CAS bays) with lots of steel targets, which is extremely fun.
• We will have access to the 360/MPR range as well.
• We will NOT have access to the Steel Challenge range
Here are the rules we are expected to follow:
• You will be expected to sign a range release upon arrival, but the normal guest fee does not apply for this day only.
• Participants of all ages are welcome, but those UNDER 18 must arrive and be supervised by an adult.
• Legally owned Full Auto weapons or trigger assisted rapid fire weapons are allowed, though you may be restricted to the 360 range just beyond the 150 yard main range.
• There is NO caliber limitation, BUT no Armor piercing or magnetic core projectiles are allowed.
• MUZZLE control and berm impact hits are required meaning NO Targets placed on or near the ground that encourage skipping off the range floor are allowed.
• Private targets must be within 6 foot of some berm base. Prone shooters MUST be addressing a target so that the bullet flight path (through or past) is INTO a berm.
• Tannerite usage will be allowed under these limits
o located at the base of the 150 yard berm
o Ignited by rifle fire from the standard firing line ( 150 yards back)
o NO more than 1 pound per target
o NO metal, glass, concrete, or other hard walled container
o NO packing of the Tannerite into mounds of dirt, rock, wood, etc. to create effect.
• The LEAD ONLY projectile rule in the C.A.R. has been eased, but it is still suggested that frangible, plated, or lead projectiles are safest.
• Food and drink are welcome, …BUT nothing Alcoholic – No Exceptions.
• DO NOT THROW LIVE OR FAILED AMMO IN THE CASE RECYCLING BUCKETS. TAKE THEM HOME WITH YOU.
General ranges rules are here.
Be prepared to clean up after yourself. Don has lots of tarps available to lay down in order to catch your brass and make cleanup easier. Don has also provided several brass retrieval rollers and magnet sweepers (for steel cases). Please use them. (He has removed the clay thrower from the south valley) Burnable trash can be left in the barrels. (cardboard, paper, etc) Garbage and non burnable trash be prepared to take it home with you.
Bring tables, chairs, and target stands, as well as anything YOU need for yourself. There are some permanent stands under the pistol canopy, and some out at the 150 line for rifle.
Its a great facility (more improvements were done after the video below... the rifle firing line is now covered)
