MCF&G ??

[2ADMNLOVER]

I stopped by Bradis this afternoon to pick up some AK ammo and mentioned going to that guy's range we don't like to mention .

The younger lady who works there was telling me about MCF&G and said I could shoot rifle there .

I'm not implying she's wrong , I just want to be sure I can shoot up to .308 before checking into it any further .

A flyer she gave me said you can shoot center fire but wasn't caliber specific , so does anyone know if I'm GTG with .223 and .308 or is it handgun caliber only ?

It's handgun caliber only. Marion County Fish & Game Association Look under "Club Info" and then "Approved Cartridges."

Handgun caliber rifles only. Click the link in my sig and then go to "range rules"

No implication necessary. She IS wrong.

Nope. Handgun caliber rifle only at MCF&G.

You have to go outside the property's boundaries to shoot rifle calibers. 10th and 465, westlake apts would be a good place to start.

Is working from a holster still against the rules, also? That was the deal-breaker for me a few years ago. Hell, I even had the application filled out and check written.

How busy is it there on the weekends?

Depends on the weekend. Depends on the weather. Depends on the range schedule. Depends on the time of year.

I've never had more than 10 members on the line with me at any time. A lot of times I'll be there totally alone.

I'd sure like to shoot reduced loads in my large rifles but I have enough pistol caliber stuff to keep me occupied.

For as many members as we have, it is never what I would consider "crowded". The biggest complaint we get is that the range is close quite a bit for events and that leaves members out of luck if they want to come shoot recreationally. We are working to remedy that situation by adding 2 new shooting bays to the West of the club house. When that project is finished, open shooting will be available even when the main range is closed for an event.

Cool! I plan on joining. Just haven't been able to head out there. Been busy at work. After shooting outside last weekend, I found I liked it a lot more than shooting at the indoor range.

Yes! That's been my biggest frustration at MCF&G. Thanks!

handgun caliber, 22lr, and shotguns are the only thing allowed there. high power rifle is not permitted there.

This is excellent news. I had no complaints about scheduled events until Bowling Pins moved to mornings. I like to be on the line at 8AM every Saturday and Sunday I have free.

I'm guessing that a large amount of revenue comes to the club via these events so we have to coexist peacefully

I was out there Saturday afternoon and it was just me and three other people. If I am not out there alone that is about as many people that are usually out there.

PCR-only at MCF&G

Only PCR's at MCF&G...

What time were you out there on Saturday? I was there from a little after 1 til around 2:30 with my son. He's 7 1/2, and I was finally was able to introduce him to real firearms. He really liked shooting my AR with .22 conversion, he couldn't get enough.

I joined the same night you did - From what I remember, the club was better off taking your money rather than letting you join up.
