HELP.. I need some insight on ranges to instruct for the ILEA ..HELP

[Socomike]

Hey guys. Im currently going through the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy. I was very suprised when I asked a group of my fellow students how confident they were in their shooting ability. 1/3 or maybe closer to 1/2 were not confident, and of that group several had never fired their duty gun.

I was appalled that their department would allow them to attend the Law Enforcement Academy without at least letting them get a feel for their duty gun. One girl had only ever shot a gun one other time in her life.

I took some initiative and started asking if some guys would like some instruction in a couple of weeks. The reaction was overwhelming and I find myself in need of a range to shoot at. We cannot use the LEA range because this will be done with no association to the academy for liability and insurance reasons. It will be a bunch of like minded individuals meeting at a range and getting some trigger time, while utilizing some peer instructors.

A big hurdle for us is that we are from all over the state. I need to get a range that is relatively local to the plainfield/ILEA area. This way, we can all meet for a few hours before returning for duty after the weekend.

Any help finding a range willing to allow us to use its facilities would be awesome.

Thanks guys.

Mike

You should look into either

A) MCFG - Indy Range Official Website - Shotgun, Pistol, Shooting Range (need to hook up with members to gain guest admittance and pay a $10 guest fee)

or

B) Eagle Creek Pistol Range

or

C) Atterbury Shooting Complex


Keep in mind that unless you work out something "special", general "square range" rules exist (ie...no holster work, no movement, etc)
