Title: Good Centerfire range near Fort Wayne?
Post by: Medicus on August 21, 2014, 03:18:55 AM
Any recommendations? I am in town for one brother's wedding and I have another who just graduated Marine officer boot and isn't altogether certain I have anything to teach him about shooting.

Maybe I don't...

Then again, maybe I do  >:D

I wasn't a shooter last time I lived there. Some quick internet research has shown me some options but none stand out as head and shoulders better than the rest. Recommendations from local Appleseeders would be very much appreciated.

Hillside is probably one of the best up north IMO.

I would second Hillside, it is a good range.  They have fair pricing and you can stretch out your shots if you want.  Roush Lake Shooting range is a very nice facility, however it is limited to 100yds.  You can shoot on the ground prone on the concrete and they have benches and modern facilities like running water and flushing toilets.

Hillside is nice but you can only shoot to 200 yards if you're not a member.  I have shot a couple of rifle comps there out to 1000 yards and that's the only time I could shoot that distance as a non-member

Didn't realize that, thanks.
