BlogShoot Update:
Frequent commenter Sam tells me Eagle Creek will be having a Glock competition this weekend, so, no shootage for us there.
We do have other options -- the indoor range at Wyatt's Guns is one of the closer ones. I have not been there since they rebuilt the store and added their seven-lane range. It looks gorgeous! (About 25 miles from Broad Ripple, in Cicero, IN)
There's also Pop Guns, with a nice six-lane range; weekends are extraordinarily busy times for them and it's best to be at the door when they open.
Further afield, DNR's Atterbury Range is said to be one of the Seven Wonders; but it's a healthy drive, 45 miles. The up side is, it's one of the closest public ranges set up for high-power rifles.
Any suggestions?

Regrets! I'm on the Left Coast.

Sorry, m'dear, but according to Eagle Creek's website, they are closed June 20 & 21 to host a Glock Shooting Sports Federation Match.
But hey, maybe the cats will let you sleep in!
Oh, double damn!
I had tentatively agreed to help R.O. for that match, too, and have apparently suffered Epic Calendar Fail... :(

No shooty? Sad ... Must investigate options.
I assume these other ranges run on an pay by the hour basis???
Pretty much, darn it. Atterbury's fairly reasonable, though, and Wyatt's and Pop Guns are not far behind.
Wyatt's hasn't got their rates up. I can give 'em a call tomorrow and find out.
Pop Guns is $19/hr for non-members, $6 for members +$5 for one guest, so Tam and I could each have one guest. (Yes, their rates are high if you don't sign up, and they still have non-members lined up on weekends. Conversely, range rates for members are very low on weekdays).
Atterbury is $7 for the first hour, $5 per after that. $25 for an all-day pass. It is a long haul and I'd suggest car-pooling.

Looks like Popguns will let 3 people in a lane.
It could be worth asking if you could rotate guests in and out.
My math skills are weak, but if we had 10 non-member shooters would it be worth while pulling money together and buying someone else a membership?
Also, will Tam be stuck at the Glock match?
And can we crash the party if we issued everyone Glocks?
At $149 a year, that'd be $15/per each, so...if we had that many.
How's it lookin'?
My vote goes for Atterbury, but I also live on the south side.
Plus I just prefer it over any indoor range.
Well, I'm down for whatever.
But if we are elbow to elbow at an indoor range I will bring less stuff. I'm sure someone in Indy will have a .45 for Breda to shoot (I can bring ammo). (She likes .45 revolvers too.)
