I Love Trap! - Page 3

FYI for those that go to Huntington. They have a nice thrower for their trap range. Talking with the RO the other day I learned that their skeet range is under construction. Plans are to have high house and a low house finished by the fall but he insisted there were no guarantees. So don't forget your shotguns!

Anybody gone to the Indiana Gun Club near Geist. Keep wanting to try it out. Seems like when it's open it's packed and when it's not packed it's closed. I amy be missing something there. Are reservations required?

Benjamin · 07-01-2009

Reservations are not required. It's a huge club with about 20+ traps and a few skeet houses. The Indiana State Shoot is next week and I will be there along with literally a few thousand other people. That is a fun time to come. You can shoot practice during the state program on the practice trap. You could also join the ATA (shootata.com) and shoot in the state shoot. You might also drop by on a week day and shoot a practice. They don't throw particularly good practice targets and the background is terrible and the state shoot is moving because the surrounding neighborhood is pushing them out, but it's still a lot of fun and worth visiting!

Have they Said When or where the state meet will be moving !

Wow, thanks for the info. I tried the club website and there isn't any info regarding the state shoot. But, the shootata site is great.
Too bad to hear about the "surrounding neighborhood." I hate to hear about people moving to an existing thing and then complaining it out of existence. Some of my family are beef producers.
I'll bring my sons out and go watch the shooting next week at least.

i shoot at the indiana gun club every chance that i get (which isn't very often as i have 3 kids 4 and under). the place is great. the staff has always been helpful and there is a man there by the name of bob self who gives lessons to the interested. they used to have a larger sporting clays course but thanks to the local lawyer neighbors (who built their houses after the club was well established) they had to stop using part of the course. now it's just 8 stands, but it allows you to go back and work on any shots giving you trouble. they only open till 6 on fri, sat, sun but i believe they're still open till 10 on wed. closed mon, tues, thur.

Bob, your post leads me to a question about kids out there. I have two 10 year old sons that I would like to take along. Think that would work? Is there any restriction?

AmericanBob · 07-02-2009

not that i'm aware of. i've seen a boy about 8-10 on the clays course with a single shot. he was too short to stand in the box so he was shooting from in front of it. the kid was knocking them down too.

Benjamin · 07-04-2009

There is no restriction on age. I competed in my first state shoot when I was 10 years old. They will let anyone shoot even if it's a 7 year old with a 410.
