I shoot IDPA here on Wednesdays. It may be pushing the hour drive, but they do have an indoor pistol range in addition to the rifle range that goes out to 200 yards.

There is also the North Porter County Conservation Club in Chesterton. They have different competitions just abiut every weekend from April through November. The competitions are open to the public but both places require memberships if you want to come out and do your own thing.

Indiana has so much farmland/country addresses that many people have their own ranges or at least a safe direction to shoot so there few public and club ranges. Feel out your coworkers and see if they have the hook up on some private property.

Not really. Like I said so many people have or have access to private property that there isn't much demand for them.

This Saturday North Porter is having their first steel plate match. You should come and check it out. It moves quickly, few rules, and lots of fun.

http://npcccinc.com/content.php?68-steel-plates

You'll get the opportunity to meet other locals possibly make friends or get the scoop on other places to shoot. I'm planning on being there myself.

I'll be there also. I imagine the turn out won't be great with the weather, but the cold's never scared me away.

You definitely should. It's a fun, relaxed competition.

Is willow slough back open? How busy are they usually?

I just realized the other day that even though I can buy supressors and sbrs I can't bring them into illinois to the range I'm a member of, at least not easily

There is a plce called Debs in Hammond. The range is in the basement, quite possibly where they filmed Silence of the Lambs. Went there once and the lack of ventilation was real bad. It's also pistols only I believe.

My M1009 sits most of the time right now , just never have time for her. She has a little rust going on the lower rockers, which is pretty common. I have a leaky IP pump I know I will need to fix and a tranny pan gasket. Right now it just sits on garage and takes up space.

One day I will have time to do some work on her.

So when we setting up a shoot next year!

Yeah that's the thing. Even the newest cucv is my age or older. Anything up here is gonna rot away in no time. The few southern ones I had I couldn't bring myself to drive over winter. LoL.

I'm always ready to shoot. Granted the location is nothing special but I'm always willing to knock down some more trees and brush to make the range bigger. Hahaha need to buy some more ar500 targets and stands.
