Your best bet, if you cannot get it directly from a nearby trap & skeet range, would be to contact your local law enforcement agency or the closest office of your state Game & Fish Authority. Website adress can be found under Indiana State gov. listings.

a million. there is not any 'maximum suitable' in firearms, purely distinct. What I shoot extra suited could no longer be what you shoot extra suited. 2. In something the 'maximum suitable' is rarely 'no longer too high priced' 3. For a intense college type, fantastically lots something that places shot out will nonetheless out shoot a beginning shooter. seem for sturdy. in case you have been an elite point traps competitor you are able to seem for something extra specific. An 870 is way less intense priced and as precise as ninety% of shooters will ever choose it to be and could shoot all day on a daily basis and not employing a situation.

I don't think there is a minimum age set forth for that in law... Some clubs may have individual regulations on age. You can take a shotgun (or rifle) in the woods unaccompanied at 16 if you're hunting.
I'd say 16 minimum *PROVIDED THEY CAN BE TRUSTED and are RESPONSIBLE in fire arm handling... At that age, you're able to drive yourself...I was never told otherwise at that age - then again I proved I was safe and responsible. Of course, the gun and ammo should be secured in the trunk. It may help to be an Amatuer Trapshooting Association membership, and have a membership card, to prove you're just a recreational sporting/competition shooter.

If you're accompanied by an adult, it shouldn't be an issue. If it's you alone, it may be 18.

My shotgun is less than a year old, but they allow it on the range.
(poorly worded question is asking how old the shotgun needs to be...)
