Hi Shooters!
Shooting holes in paper targets for practice is starting to get boring.
I am wanting to get involved in shooting sports etc. However the only matches besides trap that my local shooting range has is IDPA, And they are held 3-4times a year, and when I once showed up, The place was full of City, county and state police cars. lol No offense to LEOs but I doubt I would have any fun shooting with them, so I decided to watch instead. It was kind of hard to see what was going on with the participants there watching, so I went to the other side of the range, and shot 30rds into some paper and then went home and mowed the lawn...
I have been reading about steel and bowling pin shooting, although I would freeze my arse off, based on threads from MCFG and Silver Creek, it sounds like the fun I would have would be well worth freezing my butt off.
Only problem is, Is each place is over 75miles from me, I live in Loogootee, 47553. As my wife puts it, (we live in a small hickerbilly town) She has lived in Fort Wayne and South Bend areas all her life until we got together and I convinced her to move with me to my old home town.
Anyways, back to my main question. Are there any places closer to my neck of the woods no more than 40-50miles that has shooting matches besides trap, skeet, IDPA and USPSA on a regular basis?
