Wonderland of Steel Targets in the Heartland
Many of our readers tell us: “I love the challenge of shooting paper in Benchrest, F-Class, or High Power matches, but it would be fun to get some buddies together and ring some steel at multiple distances.” Well, if you’re in America’s heartland, here’s a place to go. Young’s Longshot Range, in Woodruff, Indiana, is a veritable “Disneyland of Steel”, with a huge variety of reactive metal targets set at yardage-marked berms from 25 to 1000 yards. Indiana’s only 1000-yard facility, Young’s Longshot Range is open 365 days a year. It has outdoor shooting stations (both covered and uncovered), PLUS a heated building with drop-down windows for winter shooting. There’s even a raised 5 meter high platform for prone shooting.
Big thanks to Michael Sorensen (below) for this report and range photos.

This is a very nice club. Two of us NW Indiana shooters joined last year. And, the free food at the Fall Picnic was great. The targets are North so the light is always good. And, it’s really nice to have a beautiful range like this so near to Sinclair’s store in case we need any thing.
Do you have contact info on Young’s range? Sounds great would
like to join! Any size limit? 50 BMG ok?
Thanks
