I was wondering where other shooting ranges in In were. I know of 4. The big one near Indy, Riley conservation Club, Riley In. near Terre Haute, and my very local range Seelyville CC 3 miles from Terre Haute, and Maskatatack State game Preserve Outside Vernon Indiana. Our Little club in Seelyville Just put in a 100+ Rifle range. I am very happy about it. I got tired of shooting 55 yds with a .308.LOL It was a waste of ammo. The president of the club, owns a cool little gunstore here in Terre Haute and I convinced him to put the range in. It has been on the planning board for over 20 years and it never got done. I convinced the pres. that there would be more longun business if we had a place to shoot the things.LOL I think he is a rifleman too and wants to shoot his collection. Alot of people showed up today,despite the bitter chill as evening wore on. Older fellows were handing me new Garands(SA) Preban Armalites, Colt SP,Preban FALs..............ahhhhhhhh the list goes on. The thing is, in 5 years of(daily) shooting there, I hardly ever ran into anyone. The new range has been in for 3 weeks and it is kinda buisy now. People are coming from out of the woodwork. I met some new people, and shared and was shared with. I like it. They should of put the range in years ago! Jerryboy |
