    I'd like to shoot full auto sometime.


    I was all set to go to Knob Creek a couple of years ago but the range cancelled it. I was going to go the following year, their last machine gun shoot, but that fell through.


    So I'm wondering if there's a range that rents full auto within a couple hour drive from home. Doesn't have to be Indiana, could also be Michigan or Ohio.


    Thanks!

    Slightly out of your range but Top Guns in Terre Haute has 5.56mm full auto FN Scar, FN 249 and an M4 variant. As well as a brand new Tippman Arms 9mm Gatlin Gun with Glock mags all 99.00

    Midwest Shooters Supply In Fort Wayne has full autos for rent...state of the art indoor range also......
    Thanks again for the suggestion, I went today.

    Midwest shooting center (Coldwater road, Fort Wayne)

    For the curious, I rented the m16 ($35 rental fee plus a $25 range time fee), bought 90 rounds of 5.56 and three paper targets.... total cost $146

    This was my 4th attempt to shoot full auto. First time was 2019 at Midwest in Elkhart, but when I showed up they had just permanently closed a week or two prior. The second time was Knob Creek (October 2020), had a group planned to go, then they shut it down for covid. The third time was some machine gun shoot near I believe Crawfordsvile....the day of I got in the car to drive down and my power steering went out.

    So I'm glad I finally got to do it. It was fun.
