Know the place well. We used to be members when we lived in Lafayette, mainly because it was the closest and least expensive place available. Had been with Wildcat Valley, but left when it got too expensive for us to afford at the time. Now it's just too far away. Pity; it's got the best facilities within a very long drive by a wide margin.
Aside from the constant factional bickering within the club itself, my main concern was the type of behavior SamLaut describes. Virtually no enforcement of range safety rules, constant access and use of the facilities by non-members, and slobs who'd never police-up their mess and destroy target stands, benches, chairs, etc. eventually drove us off.
Our present club is the Crawfordsville Gun Club near Darlington. Good bunch of folks, working together to make it a better place for all of us. While our facilities are still pretty basic, we're making steady progress with improving both maintenance and upgrades. As more and more folks have taken a real 'proprietary' interest in the club, the incidences of 'slob' behavior have gone 'way down as the bad apples are steadily weeded-out. We no longer will tolerate slobs, trespassers, or morons who ignore range safety rules. As soon as the new resident Range Officer/caretaker settles-in I expect things to get even better.
Folks in the West-Central Indiana area interested in joining a club commited to promoting the shooting sports in a safe, family-oriented environment can contact Robert J.K. (Bob) Edmonds, 2188 S. 550 E., Crawfordsville, In 47933 for details, or PM me for other contact data.
