Hey everybody! Short intro here. Just started to get back into shooting this spring after 20 years off. Was into bench shooting back then. But coming back, I am getting off the bench. So, I decided to join this community to learn. Been lurking the Hide for about a year and a half now. I see much has changed in the shooting world. More and better training for new shooters, more variety in competition, more variety in the rifle market. Kind of wished I never left the hobby, but there is not much here in north central Indiana for shooting sports either. Only have three ranges within a half hour drive. One's an indoor, One 300yd shooting club that requires an NRA membership, and a 750yd range out back of a gun store next town over that charges $15 for one hour or $20 for all day each and every visit. If anybody knows of more ranges (300yds+) between South Bend and Indy or Ft. Wayne and Lafayette, let me know!

Welcome! I’m a nobody. It’s my first post might as well say hi since no one else did.
Thanks. Intros usually don't gain too much traction on any forums unless the person goes over the top with it. (yeah there was a couple recent examples here of just that, if they weren't moved to the bear pit, then they just got deleted)
I'm around the Crown Point area, where is the range that has the 750 yard range, if you don't mind me asking?
Sweet, thanks. Do they have steel targets at their rifle range or is it just paper?
Back boards in front of dirt mounds. Bring your own targets. They allow steel if you set them up in front of the backboards, and not scatter them around the range at random distances. When you sign in and pay, let them know it's your first time there, and they'll go over the rules.
Howdy, from a soon-to-be-Indy member! I’m moving to somewhere near the Warsaw area, so it sounds like you’ll be close to me. I might have to drop you a PM and we can team up to try and find some decent ranges. 
welcome aboard
how busy does it get on weekends ?
Depends on the weather. I have been there 1 time on a nice weekend and it was a little busy but not bad. Weekdays are good, sometimes you will have the range to yourself. Wabash wildlife and sportsman association is a private range 400 yards and membership is like $80 a year
Welcome, I'm just north of the boarder and a member of Youngs, which is just south of Lagrange, IN. The link has contact info and rules should you be interested.
We are blessed to have a healthy PRS region if you interested in shooting with a great bunch of guys around the MI, IN, IL, WI area. Michigan and Wisconsin matches can be found here https://www.prschallenge.com/
Red Brush (Indiana) matches can be found on practiscore and all of these, including IL, have facebook groups where update are pushed out.
I used to be a member there at Wabash wildlife a couple decades ago. I wonder how accessible that 400yd is when the Salamonie and Roush reservoirs are letting water out? That target board has to be on the river bank. I talked to a member last Spring, I think they raised fee to $90 now, but don't quote me on that.
Thanks for the heads up on Young's
