Crosley DNR range review: pics, video
I went to Crosley DNR range today. It's about 10 minutes south of North Vernon, which is about 15-20 minutes straight east of Seymour.
The dirt road thru the woods is very beautiful and seninc, and it crosses the Muscatutuk River - there was a small boat ramp and fishing spots down there.
The range was free and there are no ROs present- you are responsible for yourself (imagine that.) There was a shotgun range, and 25, 30, 50, 100 & 200 yard ranges complete with bench rests and a roof overhead. The 25 yd range had moveable stools. There was about 5 people there at all times with some coming and going. (at about 1pm.)
You bring your own targets and attach them to existing target boards, which consist of a 5' sheet of cardboard stapled to two 2x4's stuck into the ground.
I brought tape, cardboard, stapler, and paper targets, and recommend you do the same if you go.
Dislikes: I disliked the fact that the shortest range was 25 yards, and there was a rule posted that you cannot shoot from midrange, you must shoot from the benches. So if you are shooting a tiny carry gun, this makes the range not so useful. No one was there so I shot from 7 yards.
The target boards (cardboard) were in bad shape... so bring your own just in case, or a box at least so that you can attach your targets to something if needed.
the cool old rickety bridge leading over to the range... just listen to it rattle!
