Rain is No Problem at Eagle Creek

[GuyRelford]

At Eagle Creek Pistol Range, our firing line is completely covered - so we stay dry even when it's raining outside.

Come on out and see us today - when it's too wet to do yard work, golf or ride the Harley. We're open from 9:00 to 5:00, and we have 20 lanes open for public shooting, so there's almost never any waiting.

Went early with my daughter, what a great bunch of guys. They took the time to work with my daughter and really made it an enjoyable time.

My son is home on leave from the Navy, think we just might have to throw some lead downrange next Saturday

+1 for the Tactical Firearms crew.

My brother and I had a great time at the Eagle Creek range yesterday. This was the first time for either of us to shoot at this range. We were really pleased with the range and the officers. Thanks for a great time.

 

[GuyRelford]

Thanks, Guys!! It was great to see you at the range this weekend!

I know there's a chance of rain this weekend - but I wanted to remind folks that our firing line is completely covered!

I've tried to go to the Eagle Creek range numerous times in the past, and each time the police had taken over the range and it was closed to the public. While I appreciate your invitation, I'd rather attend a range that I won't get blocked out of on a regular basis. If the police are no longer "confiscating" the range every other week, then I might check it out.

It's only open to the public every weekend. During the week IMPD "owns" it.

I've gone on weekends last year where the IMPD was shooting and the range was closed to the public.

Guy, you're doing a great service keeping the range accessible to the public. I know somethings are not in your control.

When I say that Indyparks is not working in our interests, that is in no way aimed at you or what you're doing.

 

[Splix]

I'll be there this weekend!

Since June 11, 2011, when TFT took over management of ECPR, we have been closed to the public for two half-days due to IMPD training requirements. Period.

My goal is to reduce that to 0 in 2012. We're open every weekend and our shooters can depend on that.

I am happy to hear that. Then I'll be sure to pay a visit. Thanks.

I'm hoping to make it out with a new M&P9 Shield Sunday provided the wind isn't blowing worse than the predictions suggest.

Hey Guy,
In the case of severe whether, would you recommend calling the range prior to coming by to make sure it's open? If yesterday was any example of what i'm referring to it seems that every effort is made to keep things open, however the thought crossed my mind that, if say a thunderstorm, 35mph+ winds, etc. came along would the range have had to close?

Great question. Since the firing line is covered and we're surrounded on three sides by concrete block walls, it would take VERY severe weather for us to close. For example, we never even thought about closing yesterday. In fact, we had ten lanes full for most of the day. We'll run 20 lanes all day today.

If you have any doubt, feel free to call us at 317.432.0747, but absent a tornado warning on the NW side, we'll be open.

From what I read on the website all steel targets are to be placed at 25 yards. I presume this includes the swingers for hand guns? I'm looking to shoot more at the 12-15 yard distance. Is this possible?

All steel targets brought in by customers are subject to RSO approval and typically recommended to be at least 25 yards out. If in doubt, take it and ask.
