Where can I pattern a shotgun? (Central Indiana)

[Ricnzak]

A few of us normally shoot at Elwood Conservation thur or fri late afternoon and usually sat or sun afternoon if you are interested. A guest costs five bucks. Its on the south side of Elwoon on County Line Rd. Its easy to find.

If those times don’t work I can meet you there as my guest. I have a new 20 ga coming so I “need” to go anyway. Weekdays are good.

Thanks for the offers. I didn't realize how close Elwood was to me. I would love to check it out as a guest. I was bummed to see they still aren't accepting new member applications. It seems like it's been that way for a while.

Ricnzak - when are you getting your new 20 ga.? Weekdays are usually easier for me. Mondays and Tuesdays specifically.

When our membership drops below a certain number it gets opened up for new membership.
I normally post it here when that happens. I might be going tomorrow afternoon if that works for you..
Ricnzak*** How often do you shoot?

..... Crap.. I could have met you there today.. #sadface

I can't do tomorrow. I have a thing at my kid's school.

I try once a week but life gets in the way to often it seems.

No worries, I'll let you know if we shoot this weekend, And if it works we can shoot and give you the nickel tour.

Thanks, If you see guys at the 100 yd line and a few blue PU's are parked there, stop in and say hi.

Lately when I've been to PBGreenwood they only allow slugs.

Interesting. I wonder if they have changed that policy. Never made sense to me.

The shot chews up the rubber backstop much more than slugs do.

I had a chance to get out to Parabellum this afternoon. My cheap Maverick 88 w/ 20" barrel performed great. I ran four different loads of buckshot through it and three out of four gave me the 4-6" spread I was looking for at 10-15 yard distances for inside home defense purposes. One of those was Winchester Super X, which is readily available at Wally World, so I can now feel good about starting to stockpile.

The only load I felt was too tight was Federal Power-Shok which was more like a 3-5" spread at 10 yards and just 2" at five yards. This would be well-suited for defending outside the home/neighborhood patrol use.

Overall it was a fun day at the range and I was happy with the test results.

We used to go down random RR tracks out in farm areas and shoot em up. Can you still do that?

Precisely. That's why I did not understand the policy.
