Any help would be appreciated.

French Range is nice, although us civie shooters have essentially been kicked out (all guns must be registered at the Provost Marshal). Knob Creek is just up Dixie Hwy, so that's a plus.

French is in the process of selling off their equipment and shutting down. The registration requirement was probably the nail in the coffin.

ISC has a nice practical pistol and 2 gun match each month March through December. https://irvingtonsportsmen.wixsite.com/iscky

The town outside the gates (Radcliff) sucks. It's half hillbilly and half ghetto. Elizabethtown is down the road, and isn't too bad. I have lived in both, but it's been 7 or 8 years.

I can't say I'm shocked, but no gun owner in their right mind would submit to registration to use the range...no matter how nice.

Shame though...

I've shot the ISC match, it's nice. The KY Rifle and Pistol Association used to shoot their CMP matches at the French Range, but they've since moved their matches to Southern Indiana. Probably because of the mandatory registration at the French Range.

I qualified for my first Garand at Scott Mountain Range on post. Good times.

The on-post registration was indeed the nail in the coffin for the Meade Co. Sportsman Club program on Scott Mtn. They had an excellent relationship with Range Control but post security was more interested in security theater.

I didn't know KSRPA ever did anything on French. I know they were working at getting back on post but never heard anything about results.

I can't see French Range or Scott bouncing back in this day and age. I wish them all the luck...

What can anyone tell me about Brandenburg vs Elizabethtown?

The rental market looks like crap and on post is ridiculously small. Having 5 kids doesn't help.

We home school so schools aren't important.

Jailhouse Pizza is in Bburg.

I grew up in Brandenburg so I'm a little biased. Etown is 10x bigger and has all the stores but Meade Co is still quiet for the most part.

So I just got my KY State Rifle & Pistol Association newsletter, page 6 has an announcement on it that they are planning on using the Scott Mountain Range at Fort Knox for marksmanship training this year.

Interesting, but what of the registration requirements ?
Loaner rifles?

The top of the announcement asked 'Do you own a 6.5 Creedmoor or other "High Performance Rifle"?' so I'd say that you could shoot your own personal rifles there, but I'd imagine it still has to be registered with the base. It didn't get into and said that when the dates and details were worked out, that they would be in their next newsletter and on their Facebook page.

Nope. Probably just a three year stint.

I would probably just live on post then for the sake of convenience alone. I knew I would probably be retiring from here so I bought a place 25 miles or so away. Drive to and from work everyday sucked for nearly two years but being away from post and being close but to too close to a big city influenced my decision. It was early 2009 so it was a buyers market as far as housing went too.

Well, according to Google maps you should be less than 30 minutes away from Knob Creek.

Finally got a report date. Can anyone recommend an honest real estate agent?
