Not according to their website. Scheduling an event there apparently requires the submission of an electronic RFP document. I think @-) that their email address indicates an affiliation with Mammoth Cave National Park, but I don't know for sure.
Maybe its never been proposed to management before :ymdaydream: .

I sent an email that reflected your post, just to dig a bit deeper. I'll let you know what (if) the response is.

A great shooting facility, very nice to visit the cave entrances for a cool down, the dinning was pleasant, and hotel was acceptable. I did not see any portion of the ranges set up for silhouette, but it is a large property.

What a shame to have all that space and not a bit of it available to hold a silhouette match.

There used to be a match about 20 miles away. It died about 4 years ago. The greater shame is that my home state, with its heritage in marksmanship dating back to pioneering times has no formal matches at all.
I hear rumors of informal matches in Louisville and Lawrenceburg, but I've not experienced them or found anyone who has. It seems that very few around here want to stand on their hind legs and shoot.
