I just got back from the Atterbury firing range in Edinburgh, IN, where I put a few hundred rounds through my beloved SKS. This is a wonderful range with a very professional staff and an extremely well-maintained facility, but it is still more than an hour's drive away from Bloomington, where I live. There is no firing range in Bloomington. I have been told that there was one once, on the IU campus, but it has long since been closed. This frustrates me to no end. I wish I could shoot without driving for an hour and wasting gas.
Is it feasible to try to organize an effort to petition the city to allow for a firing range to be built somewhere within the city limits here, provided that someone was willing to put forth the property? Surely they would turn a huge profit with all the local shooters, of which there are many, and provide a service to the community as well?
