    The "absolutely no guests thing" was a little jolting to me -- the place I was a member in KY have you a keycard and you were responsible for your guests actions. It makes sense I guess -- Griffith one is sorta in the middle of a residential area I think? Still a bummer tho.

    Griffith Izaak like one one in Merville/Hobart next to I-65 both have skeet ranges. Bigretic is the president of the merville/hobart one which is more active.

    The griffith one has more land but they only focus on skeet. They have a single lane rundown outdoor firing range but it has not been used in years. The bench is beyond damage as is the backstop. It needs repairs but their members are more interested in skeet so they have not fixed it.

    The one in merville/hobart has an indoor range for pistols. They do have an active skeet range as well. Its smaller then Griffith but overall more active younger members.

    Now your application for thugship is in question. :p
    The jedi racoon council will have to further investigate. :rofl:

    Well that stinks, I was hoping for a nearby place to shoot my rifles :(

    You could do it there by joining AND then rebuilding the bench and fixing the backstop. The dirt is already in place. It's just a matter of putting up something to hold the targets/stand/chicken wite and you could then use it.

    Jedi looked into doing just that and the club membership was not oppose 3 years ago when jedi inquired. Once you are a member you can propose upgrsdes/fixed to the place.

    Jedi just never did it because work got crazy and jedi spends more time now in chiraqi then NWI. So it was not worth it for jedi anymore.

    I helped last weekend rebuilding the backstop at the Glen Park Ike's.

    I know baby steps for a rifle. Shooting is shooting.

    And then there are the people who "split" a membership rather than pay their dues. This comment is not pointed at you but is the other side of the argument.

    You split the fee with a friend and share the key card or bring them as a guest.

    Sure, I get that. Stealing is bad. Not irritated at the Izaak Walton, their house their rules. Just a disqualifier for me not to be able to take a friend or relative shooting occasionally.

    Have you looked into North Porter County Conservation Club in Chesterton? Was a member there a long time ago and didn't have the time for the volunteer hours they wanted.
