    You're in luck, I just happen to have an extra one in my garage (it's just waiting for a DeLorean). The only stipulation is that I go with you so I can get some stuff for myself.

    IIRC, HFCG was going to apply for that, but the stack of paperwork for the application was like a foot thick.

    I looked into this before. Don't worry about the time frame they have this every year. The problem is it would need to be set up as non-profit. I wanted to do it as a business and the grants are not for that. Not that a non profit range is bad it just does not fit my business plan. Other then that opening a range is a pain in the butt.

    When I worked at Bradis (years ago) I had the NRA contact Bob B. about a range and they had a very nice program, including funding, contractors, instruction etc.... but being on the Marion County side of Camby it was very expensive and a real pain to get the permits.

    Im not sure if the NRA still has this type of program or not. And I do recall that a positive to the county/ state was offering NRA sanctioned training and safety courses at the range.

    I miss the Gun Room range that used to be up in Beechgrove.... anyone else remember it???

    Well I live in Fort Wayne and I only know of only one public range but its an indoor range. I would love to go to a outdoor one so I guess whoever opens one up will be the #1 place ^_^

    I remember a place about where Greattimes is now. I shot several MGs there. Very cool, long time ago.
