I have never shot trap before and am really wanting to do so. In my research of area places to shoot I see I dont really need a thing other than my shotgun and ammo.

Are the any places around naperville/bolingbrook that you can bring your own thrower and have fun with a few friends?

They may still have trap 2 times a week in the Naperville Parks. I believe it is Thursday night and Sunday afternoons.

No bring you own throwers, though.

I have seen the Naperville place.

I guess Im just looking for a place that would have less people and my own thrower. A bit less structured

I think you can shoot at the DesPlaines Conservation area. It's not Naperville, but not real far either. I think it's roughly I55 and Arsenal Rd.

Naperville is a steal shot only range. There is a private club somewhere in the Wheaton area. Aurora Sportsman's Club, and St Charles Sportsmans Club have open trap shooting on certain days, check their websites. If your looking to op your own throwers, I think Silver Springs has a self serve trap range.

yep, there are two ranges there.  It's I55 and River Road (wilmington exit).  Busted many a clay there.
