Join us to improve and hone your shotgun shooting skills at our trap events. The trap course of fire focuses shooters on the complete game from the very beginning. In this way, shooters can improve their shotgun shooting skills with the proportioned and progressive challenges offered in the NRA Marksmanship Qualification shooting program.
Registration: Prior to each event. First shoot starts at 10:00 a.m.
See calendar for dates of subsequent shoots. The trap shoots are typically conducted on weekends alternating with the Smallbore Rifle events.
Cost: $15.00 for patch/rocker awards and $5.00/round. Shooters provide their own ammunition. If you are not participating in the NRA Qualification Program, simply pay the $5.00/round fee.

 Here is how the program works:
