Definitely appreciate the feedback. And you really make a great point on consistency for learning. I have used hand throwers quite a bit and it’s what we have. While not 100% I’m confident I can throw and it not be a detriment to her learning. If a pull thrower is available I’ll definitely give...
Absolutely not while turkey hunting. I went and scouted it for deer last year in September. Didn’t see much sign and anywhere that looked even remotely ok already had stands set up. I opted not to set anything and took my gear back home with me.
Kinda silly this one slipped my mind. I’ve turkey hunted at ww. Knew that they had a range but I haven’t shot there. Great suggestion! It’s only a little over an hour away from me too.
I used to shoot at Griffith and Hobart izaak Walton’s back in like 2010-2013ish. At the time I worked the gun counter at gander mountain in merrillville so I shot out there with some guys from work. Fun times!
Might make a trip up- haven’t been there in a very long time! Willow slough had a similar setup years ago but I haven’t been there since the range was re-done. (Moved out of nw Indiana in 2013 and was out of state for two years. Moved back in 2015 and I’ve been in the Indy area ever since)
Agreed. We will definitely shoot there-eventually… but while I teach her the basics and let her start learning she wants to do it with just us off of a real trap field.
Thanks for the tip. I used to shoot trap 2x a week in nwi at the izaak Walton shoots and have shot various other places after moving away. Girlfriend has never shot a shotgun but wants to learn. We have a Weatherby sa-08 youth 20ga on order from a lgs for her. (She needs a short lop)
We were...
I’ve shot quite a bit of clays but the gf is a first timer and would like to go somewhere low pressure and get some practice in with a hand thrower before jumping into trap and sporting clays at places like Indiana gun club etc.
What are your suggestions for a range where we can use hand...
Well I did it! The girlfriend is interested in doing some hunting with me this season. We went to look for a new shotgun together today and learned she needs a short LOP… so we are in the market for a 20ga auto loader with a compact/youth stock. Our top choice is the Stoeger m3020 compact but...
Maybe a long shot but does anyone have two extra bears/colts joint practice tickets? I was nursing a broken leg when they became available and missed out. I’m a big bears fan and the gf loves the colts- we live in Westfield and would love to go.
