The indoor clay shooting video below was not filmed in Kennesaw, Georgia. That video’s from Germany, which has offered indoor trap and skeet shooting without an American equivalent for far too long. The expanded Governors Gun Club’s version — due to be ensconced in “America’s Gun City” — is scheduled to open in late 2017.
An indoor clay range opens up a whole new world of shooting pleasure and competition — as anyone’s who’s tried to powder orange disks in the searing southern sun or frigid northern winds will attest. To use Peach State lingo, it’s a hoot. We’ll hot-foot it to Kennesaw to visit with TTAG tipster Frank Williams once it’s open and check out the finished range.
Meanwhile, Trump slump or not, gun ranges are continuing to do land office business, especially in places where gun rights have been recently liberated. Maxon Shooter’s Supplies & Indoor Range, a NSSF five-star range in Chicagoland, reports full classes and full lanes with plenty of millennials actually getting out of Mommy and Daddy’s house to bust some caps in real life (as opposed to videogameworld).
Winning!
