Our trap range is open to the public every Wednesday evening (excluding holidays) from 4:00 pm to ???. Anyone wanting to learn to trap shoot safely and have fun at the same time is welcome. Bring a friend, young or old, and have twice as much fun! Experienced trap shooters are welcome, also! The trap will be open on Wednesday from 4:00 PM until ???

We throw both single and double targets. The trap club has a voice activated bird thrower that is controlled by the shooter. Each round of 25 clay birds is $4.00. Shotgun patterning board available at range if needed.
