Places to shoot trap or ranges/places that allow for throwing clays near Fort Wayne

[Spring1898]

Just got transferred up northside of Fort Wayne. Anybody have suggestions?

Try Ideal Fish & Game Club at the south edge of Churubusco.

People come from all over the country to shoot trap at St Joe Valley Conservation Club. A premier facility.

My neighbor used to shoot trap at Churubusco but i never went with him

Back 40 (wobble) isn't too far, Indiana gun club isn't too far, I believe there's an Isaak Walton a bit north of FW with a solid trap setup as well.

Do you do sporting clays as well?

Auburn gun club.

Izaak Walton and Auburn are both close, St Joe's and Ideal not too far either, but I imagine the former will suit my needs.

I don't shoot much of anything right now, haven't shot at a clay pigeon in probably 18 years. Just looking for something to do once a week or so.

The IWL on Griffin road is open to the public Sunday 9a-1p. Summer shoots on Wednesday evenings should be starting soon, or maybe they already have.

The fields are always open to members, but the houses are not operable unless it is a scheduled shoot. Bring your own thrower or use the spring-loaded thrower that is provided.

I'll be the RSO on duty Saturday (6/5) 10a-3p if you want to stop by the R&P range and have a look around.

I will have to take a look there.
The membership thing would be very convenient for access to the facilities, but since I don't know how long I will be working in Ft Wayne it makes it difficult to justify since at the moment I am only scheduled until the end of June. They don't have a "Monthly Range access" membership do they?

Young Guns Clay Sports on the north side of Fort Wayne by Wolcottville. One of the best places for trap/sporting clays in Indiana IMO.

Since you're so close I would definitely check it out.

Looks awesome, if it wasn't over an hour drive one way...

Sorry, no. Annual memberships only. But...July 1 the membership will be prorated (discounted) for the rest of the year.

The public shoots on Wednesday and Sunday are probably your only options there.

If you're on the north side of Fort Wayne I would think it'd be closer than a hour away. I'm in Boilermaker country and is 2.5 hrs from me.

Still worth the cruise.
