AR-15 Dilemma

[rmg200]

Alright, I have saved up twice money as the cost of the AR-15 I want. However, I can't find any ranges, including MCFG which I belong to, that allow me to shoot 5.56/.223!

I really wanna get the rifle but if I cannot practice or train, then this seems like a silly purchase.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Bullseye in Kokomo allows it.

Beech Grove allows up to .300 win mag

 

[karl77]

kingsbury, jasper-pulaski and winamac allow up to 50bmg.

I live around 96th and Michigan, Indianapolis. Are any of these ranges close?

 

[rmg200]

Also are any outdoor?

 

[short308]

300 blackout ?

Atlanta Conservation Club would work for you. About a 45 minute drive for you. Nice outdoor range.

You may not want to hear this, but be willing to drive further. There are ranges closer to my house, but I'll drive just over an hour one way to go to Young's Longshot because I think the range and what it offers is worth it. I go to the range less often because of this, but the range is only good for shooting. I can handle my rifle and practice pulling the trigger from awkward positions (that a range won't allow) at home.

 

[rmg200]

So basically what I am hearing is pull the trigger on the AR and get it?

Yes, the AR is a worthwhile tool and learn it and how to use it efficiently. I wasn't a big fan for a long time but since I bought my first AR10 and then my AR15 I've learned the advantages of them and their possible and proper usages.

Buy it. Beech Grove has an indoor 25 yard or go to some of the other ranges mentioned. Atterbury has a 50 and 100 yard as well. I live near you and travel to Atterbury and its not a bad drive at all. Just shy of an hour on I-65

Elwood conservational club, is the a great place for rifles up to .50 cal.

 

[rmg200]

You all are so persuasive... Why won't they just let us hunt with them!?

I know there are a few outdoor ranges around Crawfordsville, that's only about 20 mins on 74 from Indy.

Can you name any? I'm a noob.

 

[TTB Yeee]

I didn't see anyone mention Atterbury. 50 and 100 yard outdoor range, about 45 min south of you, near the Edinburgh outlet mall.

That's typically where I go to shoot outdoor.

Elwood Conservation Club does, too. Straight up 37, take a left at 5 Star jeep (Chrysler? some car dealership), left at the T and it'll be on your left. I was in the same boat until I saw it mentioned in here. They've got 25/50/75/100yd ranges along with a pistol range.

(oops just noticed it was already mentioned, still, I've enjoyed it myself and the drive is not bad)

If you don't mind a little drive you can shoot here: DNR: Wilbur Wright

I go out there all the time when I want to shoot the long guns that are not allowed at MCFG. It will only cost you the gas there and back. I have also shot at Beech Grove Firearms a nice indoor range.

One is Crawfordsville Gun Club but must become a member. Look up Tactical Weapon and Supply in Crawfordsville, it is a local gun shop and I'm sure he will know the names of the ones around Crawfordsville.
