OK! The new range at BGF is open, now what?

[flightsimmer]

Alright guys and gals, the new Beech Grove Firearms Range is open so now what?

Might there be any interest in shooting leagues for rifle/handgun?
Like maybe Appleseed and/or Bullseye shooting or anything else.

At the old "Gun Room" store and range we had league shooting at least one night a week and had a major turn out and it was fun.

So if you would be interested, say so here and let's see what happens.

 

[leftsock]

I've never been involved in a sporting league. What does that sort of thing entail?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

The Gun Room?

Geez, next you'll be telling me about the Bullet Hole.

 

[Mosinguy]

I'm surprised there hasn't been a Greenwood/Beech Grove meet-up to celebrate the opening of what is possibly the best range within 100 miles (other than private land).

 

[Kirk Freeman]

That's because we all remember the order to STAY AWAY!

It has not been lifted.

Please explain to the new guy.

 

[Fenway]

There will be!

[indybuell]

I'd be down for it.

 

[marcweid]

I would love to do something like this. I'm not the best shot but I suck at bowling and do that every week.

I know the feeling well LOL I bowl once a week and my scores are all over the place. I would jump at the chance to be able to shoot once a week.

 

[Obiward]

Count me in.

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

I'd join in on a handgun league for sure.

 

[95wrangler]

Id be interested! Are there handicaps like in golf? But really Id like to know more!

Well there could be, it would depend on what is worked out among the league members who are interested.

 

[Beowulf]

How bout some full auto fun (if full auto is allowed in the range).

I've been trucking up to Lafayette or out to Linden (when they have their rare full auto days) to shoot my MAC-10/45 in a nice environment.

 

[12many]

The Gun Room?

Geez, next you'll be telling me about the Bullet Hole.

Gun Room? Bullet Hole? Ah, I remember going to Em-Roes downtown as well. Man am I that old

I remember bowling pins at the gun room

It is not only allowed, it is encouraged.

Very nice. I'll have to stop by and check it out next week sometime during one of my vacation days.

Well guys and girls this is a start but we should have a lot more to start a league.

Perhaps I should have used a better worded title to get everyone's attention, I'm not sure.

Maybe something like "League shooting signup for Beech Grove Firearms Range" or something like that? Anyway, maybe I or we should just give it more time.

I used to shoot on the "Hoosier Hills" team at the Gun Room and at Emmerich Manual high school and we had several teams with several members on each team. That was .22lr cal only, 10 slow, 10 timed and 10 rapid fire shots for a total of 30 rounds. But that was only because Manual high school had a 22 cal. limit.

That need not apply to BGF which can handle anything you can throw at it and it need not be only Bullseye, it could be several different styles of compitition, perhaps even bowling pin. We'll just have to see what developes.

I can only hope that I can still compete.
