Busting clays

[Episcopus]

I have really been itching to shoot my shotguns, but can never seem to find anyone to go with. Anyone up north want to meet here: Oakwood Gun Club: Trap this weekend and bust some birds? I am free on either Saturday or Sunday and can work just about any time.

Wish it was just a little closer, its about 90 minutes away from me.

I'm ready for another INGO shoot at Indiana Gun Club. It's located in the Geist area.

Could you tell me anything about it? Do you have to pay? JP is 10 minutes from there and free. I drive by that place all the time and have always been curious. None the less, I could do it this week during the day....

You have to pay. Skeet and trap were about 3.75/round last I checked. I don't remember what sporting clays is, but I think it is around 20 for a 100 round course. Both the trap and skeet ranges have voice-activated throwers, which is nice if only a few people are around. Are you into trap, skeet, sporting clays or some mix of all three?

What are facilities like at Jasper/Pulaski? I know you have to bring your own thrower and birds and everything to Kingsbury.

I'd be up for some sporting clays.

I'm going to a Birthday party at the Indiana Gun Club on Saturday which will include trap shooting, and instruction from the local Range Pro.

Sounds like my kind of birthday party

I wouldn't be opposed to taking a road trip north sometime later this year, or early next year to come shoot Trap with you. I just won't be able to this weekend.

I usually look out of place shooting my cheap Remington 870 pump action, with camouflage sling, and shell holder on the stock. You really don't see a lot of field guns at the Indiana Gun Club..... Just wait until I put the pistol grip on it, and the 18" breech barrel with magazine tube extension.

Sounds fun. I am always up for a day of clay games. You name the day you can head north and I will do what I can to be available. I shoot trap with my dad's 1100 trap. It's a nice gun, but is still out of place when surrounded by the other guys single shot Perazzis. I shoot skeet with my 20ga Ruger Red Label. It's no Browning, but it fits in.

 

[mrw]

Damn, what a cool birthday party. Is it a package they have available or what?

JP has a 25 pistol, 50, 100, 225 yard ranges. It also has an area to bust clays. The range is pretty big and usually not very crowded.

So you have to bring your own thrower and birds?

Epi, if I had my shotgun over here I'd be up in a jif, not far from me at all - but as of now, it's sitting at my dad's house in his safe. I haven't found one I liked that would work in my house yet

Getting ready for some three-gun with that setup?

Bob is a good instructor and he can really break those clays.

I had the same problem for a while. Finally found a Liberty Safe at Menards.

Pistol grip, or pistol grip only?

 

[turnandshoot4]

Yep you bring your own thrower. We put the thrower on a spare tire and it works great. Easy to move around and stable when you are throwing.

I forgot that this weekend is the Michigan City Rifle Club's IDPA match. I shoot that every month, so this weekend doesn't work as well as I thought. Does next weekend work for anyone instead?

 

[Cwood]

Next weekend is out for me.

Keep me in mind the next time you want to go.
