As a waterfowl hunter, I welcome summer for many reasons. Most of those have to do with enjoying Wisconsin\u2019s natural resources.<\/p>\n

However, my number one reason is that summer leads into fall. And fall brings the Sept. 1 launch of teal and goose season. That\u2019s why now is the perfect time to spend some summer sunshine infused hours at a shooting range or enjoy the comradery of a league.<\/p>\n

Summer is the ideal season to find a range to practice and keep your skills sharp and ready. Plus, it\u2019s fun.<\/p>\n

Consider trap shooting. Sporting clays offer a realistic form of practice. You can try different angles, speeds and various clay sizes to simulate the birds you\u2019ll be seeing this fall. (Editor\u2019s note: WWA has three more sporting clays shoots on our calendar of events this year! Check out our Abrams, Ozaukee and State Shoots on our calendar of events<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n

Plot time to try swinging methods. I\u2019ve used both the swing-through method and the sustained lead method. Both have given me success in different situations.<\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t you rather miss a piece of clay practicing your skills than a duck this fall?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d rather not practice alone, leagues are a fantastic and fun way to test, improve or maintain your shooting skills. I am a member of a sporting clay league. My league time is not only fun with buddies but has also made me a better wing shooter.<\/p>\n

Need help finding a range? Visit the Wisconsin DNR\u2019s website to find shooting ranges with public hours at: Public shooting range locations in Wisconsin | Locations, design and rules | Wisconsin DNR<\/a><\/p>\n

Please keep in mind that not all state-owned ranges provide clay target shooting. Hover your cursor over the range on the map to see what opportunities await you at each range.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s to an enjoyable and safe summer. Maybe we\u2019ll see each other sharpening our shooting skills at a range.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
