So the wife has a damned cool boss.. He’s in town from Arizona and invited the folks to join him at Back Forty Sporting Clays for a morning of target shooting.. For those of you not familiar with target shooting sporting clays, skeet, trap, etc., you basically move through several, in this case 10, stations taking 10 shots at each station..

Each station is different with targets moving left to right, righ to left, toward you, away from you, and at various speeds.. And for today’s event we have 7 people show up..

I admit that I never was a hugely accurate trap shooter.. I never really precticed enough to get great.. And the last time I shot was about 3 years ago so I didn’t expect to do more than have fun.. Which I did.. I did fair, 49 out of 100.. The best shooter was the boss, Mike at 70/100 so I don’t feel too bad about my performance..

But the best part of the trip was discovering Back Forty Sporting Clays.. I didn’t even know that they existed.. A few miles outside of Bremen, IN., they were just 45 minutes from home.. They have set up a fabulous area for safe shooting complete with automatic tossers, comfortable stations, club house, gun shop, even gun rental for those that want to try it out without having to invest $1000 or in a shotgun.. And it’s affordable fun..

$28/person and husband/wife teams get a discount and if you are early enough they even have a free youth model 20ga loaner for the women and children donated to them by the NRA.. Allin all a great place and a great time.. Can’t wait to go back and get some practice in for the next “competition”.
