Pride's Creek, Pike County

[figley]

A buddy asked if I wanted to camp at Pride's Creek, and when I went looking for info, I noticed that there's supposed to be a range there.

So, tell me about it. Should I take a few rifles and a few K of ammo, or just the normal camping / hiking / sunday go-to-meetin' load-out?

hum, didnt know there was a range there. Sugar ridge is 10 minutes down the road.

Sugar ridge is 10 minutes down the road.

that's more specific than any other information I've found so far.

ETA:

I got some basic info about SR at the DNR site. What's the quality of the range there?

that's more specific than any other information I've found so far.

Sugar ridge is a nice range, with no range Nazi. If you cant find a link let me know and I will get you some info.

I'm from Pike County. I live in Evansville currently for college. We always shoot at the range located in Arthur, just outside of Winslow. From Prides Creek, its maybe a 15-20 min drive. They have a 25, 50, 100, and 200 yd range. The range isn't top notch, but each range has a roof over it and shooting benches. There are no range Nazi's as said above, but occasionally DNR drives by and will give you a big wave. I think they allow most calibers (excluding .50BMG) but there is no automatic firing allowed. Not a bad place to spend a few hours IMHO. If you want directions from prides creek, pm me and I will get them to you.
