The Great Lakes Freight
and Mining Co. is a Posse
of the National Congress of Old West Shootists (NCOWS). We hold monthly Western Action Shoots on the
Second Sunday of each month at Indian Trails Sporting Clays, 7490 S. Indian Trail Road, Modoc, IN.
We shoot using the rules established by National
Congress of Old West Shootists. During a typical shoot we will normally shoot approximately 30
pistol shots, 50 to 60 rifle shots, 12 to 18 shotgun rounds, and 10 to 12
rounds fired from a pocket pistol. Registration begins at 9:00 AM, and following a brief Safety
Meeting, shooting begins at 10:00AM.
The Great Lakes Freight and Mining Co. also has been designated as a Living Museum by the State of Indiana. |

We have some pictures of our range in our Photo gallery, and some pictures taken at a few of the past re-enactments to the gallery. If you are not familiar with Western Action Shooting (also called Cowboy Shooting) there is a description of the sport on the Western Action Shooting page, and a page with some Frequently Asked Questions about NCOWS. And finally, we have a page of Links to sites devoted to the Old West or Western Action Shooting.
