Beautiful warm sunny first trip to MCFG range

[Yamadog35]

What a beautiful day. Boss was gone so I snuck away from work a bit early and hit the range at Marion County Fish and Game for the first time after joining earlier this month. Got there about 3:30. Only one other shooter was there and was leaving as I pulled up. I had the whole range to myself for about 30 minutes. One other guy showed up and took the far end of the range. It was just us two until I left. I got 200 rounds through my fairly new Kahr PM9. Not a single hitch. 50 rounds each of S&B FMJ, Am Eagle FMJ, WWB FMJ, and my carry round - Fed HST 124 +p I've got about 400 rounds through her now and not a single problem yet.

Just wanted to put a plug in for MCFG for those needing a place to shoot in and around Indy. They do have a number of "events" there in the evenings and on weekends which close the range to the public, but if you are like me and can get away once in a while during a weekday, it's perfect.

Did I understand you correctly? That the range is open to the public when no club events are in session?

The range is open to members only, or their guests with a minor donation, there is no open times to non-memebers unless you show up to compete in a match. (ie: FNS, trap, bowling pins etc....)

Yup - sorry for my incorrect choice of words there.

MCFG is a great place to shoot, I have been feeling a little lost latley since I can't get in with my old key

I will be at the meeting for May for sure to pick up my new key.

For those that are members there, is it pretty common for the place to be empty during the day? Not that I don't mind shooting around others but it's nice to have the place to yourself sometimes!

 

[VUPDblue]

Yes, during the week it is very common to have the range to yourself in the daytime.

That's cool especially since it's about 5 minutes from my house. I plan on joining at the next meeting.

It is a very cool place. I was a member about 5 years back, before I required a range open to a wider variety of cartridges.

Now I have a membership in Danville , even though MCFG is still quite close.

I really need to pay and get a key but I really don't like the idea of spending money for a range I cant shoot a rifle round at........... I don't care why (speedway stray landed in parking lot), I just wish I didn't have to drive an hour to fire my rifle....
Glad you enjoyed the range time.
