MONDAY NIGHT TRAP

Monday night trap is open to the public. A round of trap will cost $5 or a member can buy a punch card for $40 that is good for 10 rounds of trap. Junior’s price per round is $3.50. Shooting starts at 5PM and continues till dark. Towards the end of the season there is a club appreciation shoot with a supper following.

A summer league starts in May and consists of 100 record targets a month thru August. To shoot the league the cost is $25 and this also includes a team score. A team consists of from 3 to five shooters – this is decided by how many people sign up for the league. If you want you can also shoot a handicap league. Your handicap yardage is determined by your 16 yard scores.

If you have a junior shooter the club has 2 Remington 20 gauge 1100’s. One has a shorter stock for those slight of build. Please contact Steve Hays or Todd Cash to line one up to shoot on a Monday night.

Trap shooting at our range requires shot no larger than 7 1/2s – this is to keep the downrange lead shot in a specified area for reclamation. A round of trap consists of five shots per station (there are five stations in an arc) so a box of shells per round shot. Most of the shooting is done at the 16 yard line so most clay targets are broken at 33 to 37 yards. An improved to full choke is used by most shooters. Gauge wise 12 is the most popular with some folks using 20 gauge shotguns. Some serious shooters use $9000 specialized trap shotguns but many events are won with a Remington 870 or 1100. You do not need a high dollar shotgun to have fun and do very well.

Monday night trap is very informal and is a perfect place to learn the basics of trap shooting. There are many experienced shooters to help the folks that are new to the game. We have many juniors and ladies that shoot – so please don’t be intimidated – come on out learn the game and have some fun.
