How late in the afternoon will you guys be at the range? If I can get down there it won't be until 2:30 or 3.
Great link and review! You answered by questions to a tee!
U.S. Patriot organized a Meet and Greet for the Seymour area INGOers. Unfortunately, he was called away at the last moment. However, the rest of us determined not to let his absence thwart our plans!
A ‘Baconing’ of INGOers at breakfast!
Since we were so close, we made a quick trip to ACME Sports and said hi to the crew and looked at their current inventory.
We drove to the range, part of the Crosley Fish and Wildlife area located just south of North Vernon, Indiana. I followed XDinmyXJ via the ‘back way’ to the range. Fairly easy access. I took the main route as I left the range and went across the very narrow steel bridge and a beautiful wooded drive.
INGO member henktermatt has a nice pictorial about the Crosley range at:

The wildlife area is a fairly primitive area by design, but the range has covered shooting booths with concrete floors. The lanes go from 25 to 200 yards with an adjacent trap and skeet area.
In the picture, you can see the row of shooting booths.
As the others were setting up on the short range, I walked down and took a picture of two gentlemen shooting at the 200 yard lane. The backstops in each lane are of the same design.
XDinmyXJ got set up first!
Tooleman and Randall arrived and joined us in the shooting booth. We spent several hours shooting each other’s guns and talking about guns and knives.
Randall likes shotguns and was eager to give his some breathing room!
The low point of the trip was a brief (and I mean brief!) trip to the outhouse. It was nasty, the toilet was broken and the pit was nearly full to the top! Ugh! No pictures please!.
Around 1:30 it started to rain lightly and I needed to leave. I said ‘goodbye’ to some new INGO friends and headed toward home….but not quite straight home. I stopped by ‘Bite the Bullet’ on highway 31 to look around and was pleased to see INGO member Big Hank! I met him at a previous INGO breakfast in Seymour. We had a nice chat about reloading and his pistol competitions.
A great way to spend part of a Saturday!
