We Need More Gun Ranges

[goldtrigger]

It'd be nice if somehow, someone, sometime, open a range somewhere in Monroe County.

Agreed. Given the price people were bidding on the slots in Martinsville, and the fact that Paragon has long wishlist as well, I'd say there is a need for additional ranges in the Morgan and Monroe county areas.

Bloomington lost it's rifle range to make way for more golf course.

You'd probably stand a better chance hitting the Power Ball than Monroe County ever approving a gun range. Has anybody heard any update on the one that was advertised on here a couple of months ago that is supposed to be built in northern Lawrence County?

It's a fail proof business model. Like any other business, the customer base will demand the product or service, then ***** about your pricing, your rules etc. And the icing on the cake is that at least half of your competition has no mortgage, no payroll, and no responsibility of managing the business. Then your customer base goes to your competition because they're cheaper. I don't know why there isn't a range on every street corner.

Nailed it. Just left out the occasional mishap where someone gets shot or some goofball burns down your range.

Get a large group of like-minded individuals who are willing to invest in a private club. Get with the NRA. You are a member, right? Start the process of getting permits, buying property and start building. There have been more than one club started this way. Put in a provision that the founding members will recoup their investment from club dues over the years.

Damnit! I want a 1,000 yard indoor rifle range!

Id like to see a 100 plus range on the east side of Indy. We have nothing over here and I hate to drive 3 hours to get to one! Wilber Wright 50yd rifle range? Come on! Cant beat the price though! Atterbury is nice but still a haul and only 100 yds. I want min of 300!

I couldn't get into Martinsville, so I moved to Franklin so I would be closer to Atterbury. Another plus is that gas is cheaper here.

Hey GodFearinGunTotin, just to update you and let you know High Velocity is planning on breaking ground sometime in April or May, waiting on the individual to confirm the land sell and off we go. We will be at the 4-H fairgrounds in Bedford this Saturday for the Sports-Mans Expo to inform others about the range, will have a drawing and be giving away 1 free single membership worth $345 plus flyers of the Utah class that we are sponsoring next Saturday.

Redtbird there will probably be a range opening up over towards McComicks Creek later this year.

With the way King Barack likes golf, the perfect course would have a good quality 18 holes, a church and a gun range. God, Guns and Golf would drive him totally nuts!

Would be nice to have a nice outdoor pistol & rifle range on the south side of Indy.
however there are a lot of indoor ranges around Indy now a days.
cant wait until BGF reopens

I'd like a place like the Winamac Range to open in Kokomo... I'd love to see anything, even if only a handgun range. Winamac is a long drive...

What's wrong with Roby's Bullseye Outdoor Range or the Izaak Walton League ranges?
