    In San Diego, California...locations are few and far between. Mostly indoor ranges up to 100 yards at most. Anything outdoors is usually BLM or on indian reservations. Cost? Roughly $10-$20/hour per shooting lane.

    Private club here in NW Ohio. Pistol range has berms at 7, 15, 25 and 50 yards. Rifle range has berms at 50, 100 and 200 yards. Both rifle and pistol ranges have covered bench houses with back walls to keep the wind at bay.

    Not sure where you are in NW Indiana, but you might want to check out this range just south of LaGrange.

    I'm near Chicago. That range near LaGrange looks perfect and would less than two hours from here. I'll give them a call, thanks for the tip.

    I see you are in the great state of Ohio. I'm a Buckeye native myself, born and raised in Sandusky County about 20 miles SE of Toledo.

    Is the range out in Julian closed now? I used to go there when I was based in SD in the Navy; of course that was eons ago in 1983.

    I belong to Sac Valley Sportsman's Association and also Lincoln Rifle Club. Sac Valley has numerous ranges with the longest at 1,000 yards. LINCOLN HAS RANGES OF 100, 200 and a single lane to 300 yards.

    I also shoot on BLM land and or the National Forest ground in the Sierra Mountains. I practice to 1,500 yards. My long range rifles include: Savage 110 LRH in 6.5x284 Norma mounted in a MDT LSS Chassis; 10BA Stealth in 6.5CM; AR10 in 6.5CM with 24" E Arthur Brown fluted heavy barrel; AR15 in 224 Valkyrie with 24" E Arthur Brown fluted heavy barrel. All of these rifles shoot 1/2 moa or better.

    I use the 6.5x284 Norma and the 224 Valkyrie out to 1500 yards. I get first round hits on 14" steel circle 9 of 10 times. I shoot the 6.5CM rifles out to1200 yards. I typically get first round hits on a 10" metal circle with both 6.5CM rifles. All rifles except the 10 BA Stealth are custom built by me.

    I try to practice twice a month with 20 rounds for each rifle. My equipment includes Vortex 4.5-24x50 Strike Eagle Scopes on each rifle. My Spotting scope is a 60X Vortex Viper, my rangefinder is a Vortex 1800, I use a Kestrel bluetooth weather station coupled to my Android using Applied Ballistics App.

    I go to the Police range here. They have a pistol range from 7yds to 50yds, archery range to 75yds, skeet range and rifle range from 50yds to 200yds. The pistol and rifle ranges are covered shooting area with the targets in the open. They charge a reasonable fee per year with unlimited hours.
