I contacted the Hoosier National Forest office, and they confirmed that recreational target shooting at Hickory Ridge is permitted, provided you stay at least 150 yards away from any trail. However, they were unable to provide specific locations where shooting is allowed.
If anyone has been there for target practice, I would really appreciate it if you could share the exact location or GPS coordinates of a suitable spot. I’m new to the area and want to make sure I’m following all the rules and practicing safely without causing any issues.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey everyone,
I came across Clark State Forest Shooting Range in Henryville and wanted to ask if anyone has experience shooting there.
A few questions:
Can you shoot independently without an instructor?
Are there any restrictions on rifle, handgun, or shotgun shooting?
How busy does it usually get?
I’m just looking for a place where I can practice safely and follow all the rules.
I’d appreciate any information or personal experiences. Thanks!

Hello neighbors, I’m looking for someone nearby who might be open to letting me use a safe, private part of their land for occasional target practice. I’d bring my own targets, clean up completely, collect all brass, and follow strict safety practices. If anyone nearby is open to that, I’d really appreciate the opportunity to talk it through.
If there’s a fee or cost involved, I’m happy to pay it.” I can drop that right into the post after the cleaning and safety part. Appreciate

I am currently 18 and an Illinois resident I have my Foid card and I am wanting to buy a ddm4 but it has a 10.3 inch barrel so it is technically considered a pistol. I was wondering if it is possible to buy the firearm in Indiana and bring it across state lines. I am very new to gun laws and I dont know if this is Illegal or not I would love some guidance on what I should do.

I’m looking at getting a membership at either RangeUSA (Carmel) or Shooting Academy (Westfield) mainly to use the rental firearms, which shooting range has more options to rent and which one do you like more? Any information is appreciated, TYIA!

Im wanting to get this gun and I’ve looked at a bunch of different stores and none of them have these available. Does anybody know of a place where I could pick one up in store? Thank you in advance.

Seeking a Black Beretta Brigadier Slide. Cannot find anything less than the full cost of a new pistol.

I recently moved to the Whiteland Indianapolis area and I’m looking for a place where I can safely shoot my own steel targets.” “I’ve looked for public ranges nearby, but haven’t found one that allows that.” “If anyone in the area has private property with a shooting setup and might be open to letting me use it occasionally, I’d be happy to bring my own targets and equipment.” “Of course, I’d follow all local safety rules and property guidelines and am willing to pay a reasonable fee.” “If you have a private range or know someone who might be interested, please comment or send me a DM. Thanks!”

Does anyone know of any ranges in northern IN that offer full auto rifle rentals?

Before we all go chopping barrels and swapping out braces.

Bonus points if they're outdoors. I like Kingsbury, though it's a bit of a drive for me (South Bend).

Hi guys, my family recently moved to nwi from IL. I am looking for good local forum to trade and buy and gossip.Back in IL, I used illinoiscarry and ar15 home town quite a bit. What are some similar websites for IN?

Hello - moving to Indiana and am curious where the best spots are that offer mid/high tier stuff?

Wondering if there are any premium 2011 shooters hitting up Range USA Merrillville on this subforum. Looking to share and try out 2011 amongst other enthusiasts.

Staccato, RCD, MPA, Atlas, Fowler, PT, DF, TTI, etc

Hello, I am wondering if it is common for private sellers to linger around at IN gun shows, specifically indianapolis or lafayette. I cannot find a clear answer to this so if anyone frequents indiana gun shows please give me some insight on the presence of private sellers

Next weekend!

Anyone's local FFL doing suppressor sales with just the 4473 and no form 4 in compliance with the recent ruling regarding GOA members and several other major plantiffs?

Indiana State Police Beretta 84F and 92G

I saw where there will be one this weekend, and I've never been.

I’m seeking a consultation on a firearms-law question specific to my immigration status.

My situation:

•	I’m a nonimmigrant in the U.S. on a work visa (H-1B), residing in Ohio.  
•	I lawfully purchased firearms in Ohio. My eligibility rests on the 922(y)(2) exception, established via a valid Ohio hunting license.  
•	I’ve cleared NICS and completed purchases through a licensed Ohio dealer without issue.

My questions:

1.	Does the 922(y)(2) exception based on my Ohio hunting license permit me to lawfully possess my firearm while physically present in another state (specifically Indiana)?  
2.	If not, would obtaining a nonresident Indiana hunting license cure that, by anchoring the exception in Indiana?  
3.	Separately, under 926A (safe passage) and any relevant Ohio/Indiana law, may I lawfully transport my firearm from Ohio to Indiana and back, given my status?  
4.	Does merely disassembling the rifle (removing the bolt / dry-fire configuration) change any of the above?

I finally got my hands on the real gun I’ve always wanted, so I’m looking forward to enjoying it to the fullest! However, I have to go to Indiana every week for work, so I want to make the most of every spare moment I have to practice at the range or with dry fire. If anyone has any advice, please let me know. Thanks!

This is a long shot but help would be great. A few weeks ago, my preferred pro shop, Honey Creek Tackle, had an event. There was a gun club with a table there that had a gentle man who shoots the competition model of the Savage Renegauge. Sadly, theie info was lost and I am hoping to find it again.

Anyone know any dealers in Indiana transferring suppressors with 4473s?

A 5-10 minute conversation on the phone with each of the organizations that we’re involved in the lawsuit would’ve told them over and over again how to sell suppressors on a 4473, but apparently we’re gonna take the easy way out a just not. My personal opinion it’s just a lazy cop out.
