I shoot at a private club, but you’re right.
I used to shoot at a DNR range south of Indianapolis, but it became a hassle when they stocked it with you’re standard semi-retired DNR “officer”-type.
As soon as you get out of your car, he comes running up asking to see your ID and concealed weapons permit. I told him it was none of his business and drove off and never went back.
In my home state of Michigan, the DNR had a “one round” rule. One round in the gun and magazine at any time. Really a pain in the ass and just stupid.
The old timers at my club are pretty decent. They’ve procured a lot of NRA and DNR money to rebuild all the ranges and it’s one of the best clubs in Indiana and has won the NRAs club of the year award.
Where I live in MD we are down to one private club range. The rest have been zoned or sued out of existance. Unfortunately, the remaining club has a "deal" with the State Police that has filled the staff with current and ex-LEOs who expect to see only fellow LEOs handling modern weapons. They also enforce a "3-shots-a-minute" policy for members while the LEOs get to chew up the equipment with full auto M4s on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
But it is still better than the public range.
